Capricorn lady with a workaholic Leo—

I'm a 23 year old female with a Capricorn sun, and Aries moon, and an Aries ascendant. I've fallen head over heels for a Leo man with a Libra moon and Scorpio ascendant.

We're an older/younger couple, but I've always dated older (typical old soul Capricorn behavior. I just can't connect with anyone my age) and have amazing chemistry. We've always had great open communication and it's easy for me to be open and honest with him about everything, even my flaws, which is surprising for me. Our romantic life is unbelievable - we're both passionate lovers and there's certainly no issue in that department. Everything in the last 4 months we've been together has been picture perfect, and it looks and feels like it could be the real deal, though neither of us are in any rush to run to the altar.

The only issue that has been progressively become more difficult for me to cope with is that he spends most hours of the day working. As a Leo, it's no surprise he works in the entertainment industry. He's very talented and I'm proud of his accomplishments. He runs his own company is and one of the best in his field; however, he takes on most of the workload himself. He tells me that projects have been lined up for the year and it's going to take even more time delegating them out to other people for a more balanced workload, but that ultimately is his goal.

I'm trying to be patient and understanding - the thought of becoming a naggy girlfriend and pushing him away keeps me from mentioning it too often if at all. I know. especially him being a Leo, he'll instantaneously push away and run for the hills.

My biggest irk is that I can go sometimes almost 24 hours without hearing from him (text/calls/emails) and finally get a message saying how much he misses me. I know he's not messing around (I'm only the third person he's dated in ten years), but I'm frustrated when he doesn't take the short amount of time to reach out and just let me know he's thinking of me. Or when I finally do get some messages from him, he can never commit to answering me with a specific time/date. Everything is always "I'm not sure", or "after my meeting with...", or "as soon as I can.".

Another aspect of it is that he's working himself physically to death. He's put himself in the hospital before with a kidney infection (from what I've come to learn from his best friend of twenty years) and has always been go go go go go. He sleeps maybe 3-4 hours a night, works through meals, and literally hasn't had a "day off" in years. Thankfully he doesn't smoke or do drugs, hardly drinks, and visits the gym. We both want healthier life style s because we've both shared the desire to be in each others lives as long as we can.

I want to spend the rest of my life with him and he seems to feel the same.

All in all, how long do I wait before I decide that work will always be his number one priority, and not me, and should I be okay with this or should I move on? Am I wasting my time? Also, what's a good way to communicate my frustrations to him without pushing him away?

Any advice/feedback is much appreciated.

Might help you a little.

Definitely gave me some great insight. I'm currently going through a career change (I've been a successful fashion mode for the last 8 years and ready for something with a little more job security) but I'm having problems deciding on which path to follow. As Capricorns are very much career orientated, it's become a huge frustration of mine that I haven't moved forward, and in that, have been a bit hard on myself. Maybe being in this vulnerable state emotionally is pushing him away because he desires a partner that is reliable in their strength.
