So us saggies can be commitment phobes but if you have commitment issues what does that specifically mean for you, and how do you feel about marriage?

Personally I have 0 commitment issues when it comes to long standing relationships, provided my partner understands and accepts Im not the domestic type. But even if I was with my soulmate, the idea of marriage makes me very uncomfortable, gives me anxiety and leaves me wanting to run into oncoming traffic.

I kinda flip around with this thought a lot.

mainly because im 31 and have only had 3 serious long term relationships.

one being in my teens , the other being my baby daddy who I was engaged to for 5 years (together 7) but left that relationship knowing we would ever actually going marry, never even looked into wedding things. now im with a 5 years younger man and I have made statement that "why would I marry someone right now? im only 30" I change so much and so often in the last 15 years and I continue to keep change and people also change and sometimes we go in different directions so why would I want to commit knowing that change is happening.

Ive said this to him and to everyone any time this topic comes up that, I will get marry when im 70. because I can probably only commit for 20 years and then ill die with that person. but for now, I am open to change and im not open to committing my name and my identity to be linked with someone else. I rather just be committed to me until then.

also when im 70 im going to become a addict because why not.

I dated a Sag that claimed he knew I was the one right after our very first date. 2 months in he asked if I would seriously consider eloping with him to which I responded yes (in the moment thing). The days after he kind of went distant and it was because he couldn't stop thinking about how I would actually elope with him, I guess imagining the reality of that had hit him. Anyway he had claimed he dated like over 25 women and I was the first he wanted to pursue a serious relationship with? He was eager to meet my parents and have me meet his. We broke up before I could meet them in person. He was pretty wealthy but into a Vegas wedding (very distasteful imo). Shortly after our breakup he met someone else and he's already got her calling his mom "mama" so yeah, I'm thinking they're getting hitched.

Whew, yeah thats twice too many for me lol. Whats your moon/venus/mars in?

Honestly idk. Ive never been into the whole idea of marriage. The getting dressed up, inviting people, having them watch a strange spectical and the whole social atmosphere of it. I don't think it explains the amount of anxiety it gives me though.


Aqua/cap/Cap It’s probably my Cap and I’m probably way older than you. So at that time, it was unusual to question getting married.

First was a huge mistake, second one was mostly about kids. That one lasted a long time & two kids. To an Aries so he understood independence, a career, etc.i think it’s fine if you find the right match.

Interesting mix! I think its the cap in my chart that balances my flightyness that and maybe my pisces asc.

Sorry to hear it didnt work out between you and the Aries. I agree with that in general. Ive considered, if marriage was important to my partner I might be able to do it. Luckily the aqua im into has went through a messy divorce and is like "fuck marriage!"

I like your overall conclusion. I dont think its good to rush into marriage and think its best to at least wait till your 25. People change a lot throughout their 20's. Even 30 is pretty young, lots of people still trying to figure out who they are. And if hes right for you he'll wait till youre 70...and an addict lol

Why do you have to have "issues " if you don't like commitment?

Honestly, if there is no one in your entire life that you felt you wanted to commit to, maybe there hasn't been anyone worth while.



When it feels right you will know. Because the concept of "committing " doesn't even come into play. All you think about is how you just want them. Like second nature.



But if you never get that feeling. Oh well. There are bigger things in life too.



But don't ever pretend. You'll just be a little girl in a women's body pretending your ready for a life that you really aren't. Than your nothing but a FRAUD. It'll come out through cheating or other bad behaviors. Than you feel even more like shit.

Nobody will ever tell you this but it's okay to take your time.

Marriage is overrated in my opinion. Why do we need to get hitched in order to be in a committed, longterm relationship? For legal and religious reasons? Idk, I call BS lol. If I'm into you, I'm into you and can be with you forever. I have issues with commitment, expectations and obligations in my day to day life but not my relationships. Like I know what I'ma want to do in 5 hrs let alone 5 years 😅🙃 I just like enjoying the moment for the moment.

Not to mention the $ $ it costs and having to worry about family getting along instead of enjoying the party your going into debt for. Meh. Whole thing is highly unattractive for me.

I have zero sag in my chart.

Yeah, plus how expensive weddings are, no thanks. I married at 20, and there was no way i wanted us saddled with debt, esp that young (I'm 28 now). That's why my man and I said fuck it and eloped. We got to marry and enjoy life together (not to mention the legal perks) with next to zero ordeal.

One side of me wants marriage and stable job and kids and other side of me want's to run from any sign of commitment ever! That's something I have always sturggled within myself and what I have always been afraid of...that at some point I might run from responsibilites and then regret for the rest of my life...it's a serious struggle that can't be resolved as it seems for me...


Looking at your aspects I can see why your having this struggle and I relate. It seems unless the Sag has some water or earth placements to ground them domestically they have this constant battle. If you cant find the balance you have the back and forth. Ofc you could always try the nomadic wander thing.

What do you mean by stable job? I've had many jobs just cause if I dont love it I get bored and restless. Im trying for a career path now but I already know I wont be doing it forever. Also idk about kids. I used to say Id never have a kid but now Im like maybe. But not anytime soon and thats a hard maybe.

I dont know why they say this about Sag. My dad is always in a committed relationship. Ive dated two Sag's they IMMEDIATELY wanted to be in a committed relationship. Almost faster than any other sign ive dated actually.


Well they also say we fall hard. Ive only fallen once but yeah, I agree with that. Maybe they mean more in long term commitment then? A lot of posters have given examples of Sags marrying quickly but not necessarily staying married for long.
