Does this side of him bother you a lot, or does it make you feel somewhat good/loved/wanted? I'm asking because I'm having an affair with a Leo and I feel like he wants me to show possessiveness/jealousy. He often tries to get some sort of a reaction out of me. But our situation is very specific.


Taurus/Leo - physical/sexual attraction - 10/10. At least in my case. 😛 We are both suckers for kisses, cuddles, massages, good food and drinks, etc., just very compatible in the area of sensual pleasures.

The rest is neither here nor there. Sometimes I find it hard to have a conversation with him and we don't really have common interests to discuss about. It's never too hard for me to find something to talk about with pretty much anyone, but this Leo doesn't seem to have interests/something that he's passionate about at all... That's a story for another day. Plus we are at very different stages in our lives so that could also play a role (even though I don't usually find that to be a problem when finding common ground with people). We are both very proud and can't stand making fools out of ourselves. The "who has bigger hots for who/who is the cooler and more wanted one/whose sexual pleasure is more important" power plays are sometimes present, but when we let go completely and put trust in one another there's just tons of passion and warmth. Maybe nothing long-term, but this pairing is definitely worth a fling in my eyes.

Thanks for replying!
Well, maybe 25% of me likes it when he tells me that he wants to be the only guy I talk to. He actually told me he doesn't want me talking to other men. It shows that he cares & likes me. The other 75% of me gets very annoyed, frustrated, and sad because he really gets upset with me if I don't give him 150% of me all day everyday...and giving that sort of energy to someone each moment is exhausting. It's like, the more I give...the more he wants. He checks up on me constantly. He told me he does. One time I was out of town with friends & I had said I was going to a concert. He googled the concert & then called me & asked me questions...knowing the answers to them. lol To see if I was lying where I was. But bulls have great qualities too & that's why I am with him still.

Yea he sounds controlling and have trust issues ...but u have to understand that we have to be sure u are going to give us 150% bc we will give u that plus more. We love hard and expect u to be the same as well. We don't like unnecessary attention. We are very possessive so we don't like ppl all drooling over you or trying to talk to you outside of friendship. You like to believe that we can have you all to ourselves and no one can look or touch so if you posting pics or trying to be the center of attention it's kind of a turn off. We take it as you want the attention of other and that the attention we give are not enough. We need to know that you are loyal and faithful. I'm just speaking from how I feel, I can't speak for men but hopefully this helps. If you don't like possessiveness I say please don't continue with this relationship. It will be hell for you.

He sounds like he is displaying the early signs of being an abuser.

You mentioned something important.
We're not in a long, serious relationship. We met a several months back. I consider it like we're dating.
And when we met he told me he wanted a relationship...that was it. He didn't want to start off as friends & see what developed. When I told him, I wanted to start out as friends & see how it went...he told me 'no'...and if it wasn't for a relationship then he didn't want anything with me at all. It was basically...all or nothing.
So, now that I think of it...I just went along?



You might think I am being melodramatic but does any of this ring true for you?

I think you had the right approach for you and perhaps he had the right approach for him. Sometimes people misinterpret 'dating' as sleeping around with others which is not always the case. Perhaps he just knew what he wanted and this is how he is? Perhaps you're not a match.

Personally I'd prefer to get to know someone and then move onto exclusivity which might be what you're looking for whereas he wanted to dive in head first.

I do think there may be a few 'red flags' there but I have to admit that I've researched various things to check the other story of the other person. Call it trust issues or insecurity or controlling if you like but I never tell that person... Ever!!! I just do it so I know what I might be getting into plus I'm naturally inquisitive and an investigator by career so it's hard to switch off.

I just think if you're not comfortable with it all then try approaching him about it. If that doesn't work then you get your answer.

wow, I just read that article.
... most of the signs checked out.
I think I will have to discuss things with him nicely like agentp911 mentioned & see what he says.
Maybe it's nothing to worry about & there just needs to be communication to sort things out better.
Thank you all for replying! Much appreciated =)



I think that is the wisest course of action. AgentP911's advice is always sage!

Oh, and glad the article was of use. 🙂
