Posted by KoniuchaaShe's fixated on the idea that she can't change even though imo its bullshit so
Is she willing to figure it out with you?

Posted by ex0So what can I do to make her trust me that way? It's a LDR as well so
i believe this is her cap moon's odd way of saying although she is naturally independent, she wants to feel as though she *could* rely on you.
can i trust you with my money, my belongings, my family, my life (if necessary)? that kinda thing.

Posted by MoonshineLeoInsightful. Though I just don't want to be her burden and she's not always around since she has to do everything as she's the heiress of the family and she said that's one of the main issues as well.
i think it depends on who you're with, i dated a pisces sun cap moon and he wanted me to constantly depend on him. Maybe thats the "stability" shes talking about. Sounds toxic to me.

Posted by ellesbellesSo this relationship goes well and takes off well instead of... whatever randomness and weirdness this is now
Why force things in a certain direction?

be demonstrative by maintaining your own life. have your shit together. be your best self. ask her what she needs from you.

Posted by KoniuchaaChange our personalities and certain aspects of the relationship so it has more stability and commitment instead of what she describes as a weird relationship with almost no common goal or interest or stabilityPosted by EtherealTravelerWhat are ya'all trying to change anyways?Posted by KoniuchaaMore like she's not sure and I'm trying to find ways for her to changePosted by EtherealTravelerSo she can't change but you have to change?Posted by KoniuchaaShe's fixated on the idea that she can't change even though imo its bullshit so

Posted by ellesbellesBy controling the current you mean deciding who's in charge of the relationship or how it goes?Posted by EtherealTravelerYou are a cap/pisces moon and she is a pisces/cap moon....the two of you are trying to control the current.Posted by ellesbellesSo this relationship goes well and takes off well instead of... whatever randomness and weirdness this is now

Relationships don't have a manual.

Does our relationship have stability at all or are we trying too hard?click to expand


Posted by UnicornSagYes but it should happen as little as possible, not happen every month because this ship might as well as be the titanicPosted by EtherealTravelerYes but are you forgetting a fact there are cloudy days and storms as well? You can't expect weather to be always perfect and sunny, that's why you need a strong ship to sail. It won't fall apart from few storms if it's good. It's way more rational to build a good ship than to expect weather to always be nice and sunny. Hope you get the point from this...Posted by KoniuchaaI dunno, girlfriend said there's only 1 definition which is to rely on each other but I disagreePosted by EtherealTravelerI don’t know if it does.

Imo, stability is where there's no major change in a relationship, like stagnation almost, but instead of being negative, its positive, because it means there wouldn't be anything to destroy the relationship and peace is what I desire.
Like how sailors go out for sea and those chill sunny days are stability. Unstable relationships are ships that always go through storms, but despite how strong it is, it can break apart, meaning the end of a relationship.click to expand

I think it's really hard to have an interdependent, stable relationship long distance tbh.
Are you sure that one or both of you might be fantasizing a bit, or not really seeing things clearly? How long are you expecting to stay long distance?

Posted by EtherealTravelerIt's tough. Not all cap moons are alike for sure, and I think as we get older our perspectives change a lot. I am not sure she wants you to be able to depend on her though. As a woman, especially with a Cap moon, we know that we are dependable and solid and can take care of ourselves. What we *don't* want is to carry water for our man.Posted by sultrykittyKinda

I mean I'm trying to see the big picture and so is she, her aspects and overall maturity helps with this as I'm more childish.
We're planning that we can visit each other during 2019 April since we live close (She lives in Montenegro, I live in Portugal).
But she's taking things slow and many obstacles has still not been broken through sadly, but with time it should be possible. She mentioned once we can do naughty things over internet if she wished, to be as real as possible.click to expand

Posted by sultrykittyShe never asks me to depend on her (well she did once, that backfired horribly and she was apologetic about it).Posted by EtherealTravelerIt's tough.

We spend a lot of time and energy making sure everyone and everything around us is good. Everyone has what they need, including ourselves.
When I was younger, having a man who was good to me and who I connected with was more important than how he took care of me because I knew I could do that just fine. But as I got older I realized that in my relationships, I wanted to be able to let go of that a little and let someone else pick up the slack for *me*, to let someone take care of some of the things I normally take care of. Being able to trust that someone else can take care of me as well as I take care of myself is a really hard thing to do. Even harder when I can't see the everyday stuff to reinforce that you're up to the job by doing the same for yourself.
I can't say that she's feeling this way or thinking this way, but it is something that does evolve without realizing it. She may br expressing those feelings without knowing the underlying motivation behind them.

I think the issue is how I told her I'm just as capable of being by her side and doing things she can't do, but she said she can't depend on me because her whole life is basically her playing mom (If we count really loose aspects, she has moon square saturn on a 12' orb) towards her sister who's the same age as me.
She also mentioned her ability to hide emotions well, and how she is a sad and bitter person deep down because she's not used to people telling her what to do.
Her stubbornness and her decision on hiding her anger (Mars opposite Saturn) results in us have issues with communication (Composite Saturn in Aries, 3rd house).
In the end, I think its a mix of stubborness, habits, personality, and lack of trust?

She wants to, but cant give up control of any part of her her life. This is by far the hardest thing for us to do. It's not about you (if in fact you really are able to carry your weight plus some of hers). It isn't about trust really, in the sense that she doesn't think she can trust you. It's deeper and more personal to her than that. If she gives up control and something goes wrong, she'll take the blame, and we don't do well with failure.

Posted by sultrykittyI mean its emotional stuff in the end, I can't physically solve her problems, the most I can do is act like an advisor, since as me and my parents noticed, I'm able to give clear analysis and solutions when I'm detached from emotions, and when she's down, affected by her emotions, I serve as a plan B.Posted by EtherealTravelerThis is the key:Posted by sultrykittyShe never asks me to depend on her (well she did once, that backfired horribly and she was apologetic about it).Posted by EtherealTravelerIt's tough.

It isn't stubbornness per se, it's that we take ownership of EVERYTHING in our lives. So it's extremely difficult to give any of that up to anyone, because we just don't believe that anyone can handle things like we do. And that can be seen as a kind of failure (on our part) if they don't.
That's why I said it's hard in a LDR, because she can't *be* with you to see how well you can handle the things that *she* feels are important to her.
I don't know that I'm explaining it well but O hope I am

Isn't that what couples are expected to do, communication? She isn't talking, she's swallowing her issues and if she can't solve them, results to binge drinking, smoking or ghosting me in the process, sometimes which worries the shit outta me. If she's drunk and out talking about her shit to random strangers, why can't she do it to me?
I feel useless and I have more Cap than her so I feel even worse about it.click to expand

Her: I mean you haven't changed at all since I met you and it scares me because there's no stability
Me: How so? I mean I'm gonna be rude here, you never really changed either...
Her: True. Well, stability is basically how I can depend on you, and I can't because my childhood and teenage life is me being independent all the time, I have to take care of my sister, everything! No one told me what's right and what's wrong, and I doubt I can change now.
Me: Don't say that. Of course we can.
Thing is... how?
Like how to make someone more dependent towards the other and not resort to cold silence when it happens? I feel like she can really learn from this as battles aren't meant to be fought alone.
I mean I can also learn independence off her but that's besides the point.
