A little confused about my Sag

I've noticed there's a tendency to hold on to past relationships - even symbols of these past relationships - like he has a hard time letting go. The thing is, the stuff he won't let go of have just caused him emotional unhappiness - the relationships just used him, took advantage of his giving nature. I don't know if this is related to needing to be needed, irregardless of the fact it had a negative impact on him. Being needed by someone/something is being better than not being needed at all??

I don't know...I can't figure it out. Something better has come along, ME, but he still wants to be friends with his ex's - to a degree. He still offers his help to them here and there - that's fine with me I guess, I don't know, I just find it weird. He's been divorced for 4 years, but he still has some of their wedding pictures on the walls - she cheated on him that's the thing. He doesn't have contact with the Ex-wife, but with another ex girlfriend whose daughters he feels responsible for; making sure they are taken care of in times of need because their father was abusive. I know he doesn't care for the ex girlfriend, she's out of the picture, but he wants to be friends - casual acquaintance that's all, but still I don't get it.

I'm probably leaving out details to this, but I don't want to make this an epic story.

He's a typical Sag, but his moon is in Cancer.

Thoughts?

Scary, my Sag is exactly the same way...

Hey Everyone! Run... that cancer brings your saggy into a realm of nurturing that only strengthens his naturally generous demeanor. My saggy has this trait to a T man! Cancer rising Sun, moon, and mercury in sag. Its important to remember that you are in his life now and are contributing in a special way just by being supportive. Does he feel needed by you in terms of your relationship?(generally speaking that is...) It may be helpful to know where his Venus sign is? Chances are its in libra, sag, scorpio, or cap.

Wow. Interesting to hear there are similarities out there - I figured it was a Sag trait and with his Moon in Cancer, the nuturing comes in to play. His Venus is in Scorpio - how did you guess?

We have a great relationship - make each other feel well loved and needed. I respect his space he respects mine, etc...

This hanging on and not letting go of the past stuff - well, I understand it's more about not wanting to hurt the people in his life, regardless of the relationship I guess. I've told him I respect all of his relationships and would never tell him who he can and cannot have contact with - that's not my place. I guess if there was anyone who could go from lovers to just friends it's a Sag. Now, I will say, that should our relationship continue on the path it's on, I'm going to have to ask he box up the ex-wife stuff and put it away out of respect for me.

As long as the trust we have in each other is respected and so far it is, I'm happy.

I'm an older/wiser heavy influenced Aries (Sun, Moon & Venus)...years ago this would have been near impossible for me to accept; but having just ended a 10 year marriage to a Leo (never again - egos just too strong), I'm wiser, more patient and more respecting of other peoples wants and need, as long as the respect and honesty stay in place - with Sags I've come to understand that HONESTY is THE foundation to them along with their freedom, all should be good.

Hey Archer!!

I knew you would chime in.

We're good - the Sag and I.

Hope all is well with you.
