pective, you are dropping the ball on him here.
Virgos have a deep sense of duty. The Virgo men I know (my father is one too)..all of them understand that once you have a child, you have a responsibility. That is sacred to them and it comes first at all times. They're honorable people.
One thing about them though, they tend to rely more on their partner to supply the firm discipline. They're very soft hearted. To me he wants to move out because then he will be forced to deal with it closely, as he will have no one else to look after his son.
He also recognizes that you guys have different parenting style s so it's only fair that each deals with their kid accordingly. To have it all play out under the same roof is not productive for children who would get mixed signals.Posted by ChrisNews^This is no martyr thing, it's factual reality.
And the bf did the martyr thing “your son needs to stay here with you during this time”
You are focused on the wrong issue here. You assume he has problems with your son because the timeline matches. You son moves in, the Virgo suddenly wants to move out. Virgos make choices deliberately which tells me that his choice was thought about a lot and it's only about him and his son. The realization that you guys do parent differently was something he saw for a while but then he couldn't ignore it anymore. You guys as a unit at this point in time cannot deal with the two kids. So his solution is for each of you to parent in the way you see fit.Posted by ChrisNews^I find the statement above quite rich in the light of what this man is actually saying.
He is the Virgo type that I thought was loyal, stuck, and never left.
He is saying:Posted by ChrisNews
But he also wants to know if we would be ok?Posted by ChrisNews^NOWHERE in there does he even allude towards a breakup with you. He could shut you out easily but he is committed to you and wants you guys to go the distance. If he wanted to break up, we have no problem driving that point across. He is enforcing that under the change of circumstances, he still wants to be with you.
"Would things be ok with us if I moved out and got an apartment. I am not doing a good job parenting and I want to do that"
Meanwhile your mindset:Posted by ChrisNewsYOU are the one considering a breakup because you can't cope with the reality of this man needing to parent his son while at the same time still wanting to date you. He understands that he isn't doing his best by his son and that stress is piling up on his side which would bring on tension and then the relationship will spiral into nothingness. Instead of staying in the same house and letting it unfold like that, he's wants things to work out.
And I know myself, I can’t do it. It would be too hard to have an empty home again. A breakup would be next. Is that the intention - get freedom and then run with it?click to expand
But unfortunately for him, he isn't partnered up with someone who can put themselves aside to take it all into consideration, let alone appreciate what he's trying to accomplish here. Because when the going gets tough, he still wants to be with you (and if you actually love him, you'd get that this is temporary until both your sons are on their feet...on the time span of an entire life with someone this is just a minor hurdle) meanwhile you seem to want to get going.
Very easy for people to bail, very hard for them to go the distance. He isn't bailing on you, you are bailing on him. Life throws curve balls, if you have faith in someone and strength in yourself, you stick by them.

Posted by yupvirgoWhat? He isn't sacrificing his relationship at all.
He's willing to selflessly sacrifice his romantic relationship for you for the sake of his son.

Posted by yupvirgoCome on, he would have thrown a "I don't see how things will work out, maybe we should part ways for a bit" in there if he was iffy on her. He would express doubt in them being able to make it. He doesn't do that.Posted by DamnataHmm... yeah it could also be that he wants to keep the relationship but it can go either way really. It's just that personally (as a father), my duty to my children would always come first. And she described the distancing and aren't Cancers intuitive?Posted by yupvirgoWhat? He isn't sacrificing his relationship at all.
He's willing to selflessly sacrifice his romantic relationship for you for the sake of his son.
Best thing is to establish communication first.
Always the root of Virgo-Cancer misunderstandings.

Posted by DivaCanLeoYeah she seems too ride or die for him. He lives in her house, she looks after him and his. Virgos like to be the hero.
Virgos will get dumped by the whole zodiac sign but be the ones dumping the person most loyal to them, they kind of need you not to give a sh1t ...

Posted by LadyNeptuneDepends how broad your perspective is.
Moving out is a step backward in your relationship, despite his 'nobel' reason for leaving. The cold hard truth is that your relationship is not moving forward.

she should cut him off at the knees right now, find him an apartment for him. do a 180 degree turn on him.

Posted by FknNerdI'm so curious about this man's chart.Posted by DivaCanLeoMaybe not break up with her, but it sounds like he wants a lot of space to figure out if this is what he really wants. The phone thing is susp.Posted by FknNerdhe's so used to getting dumped, that the sheer commitment of a crab is forcing him to leave.
I think he's trying to break up with you, but isnt 100% sure that its the right decision yet. We're really bad at breaking up with people.

Posted by DamnataIn my experience this kind of concious step back spells the end of a relationship. If not right now then shortly down the road.Posted by LadyNeptuneDepends how broad your perspective is.
Moving out is a step backward in your relationship, despite his 'nobel' reason for leaving. The cold hard truth is that your relationship is not moving forward.
There are times when things move back or stay still.
We adapt to circumstances as they happen.
I'd prefer movement one way or another to the inevitable stand still/impasse in this case.
I'd understand it as a step back if he just announced his call with no intentions to keep on dating her. Or letting it fade away. He isn't doing that.
It's like saying...if someone needs to move away due to work then that's a step backward in a relationship. Everything can be dealt with if two people are on the same page and not held against the relationship itself.click to expand

I would keep the phone part at bay too as I was looking for apartments because she doesn't seem to take this well. Add to that she has a history of snooping on him.
I feel like he has some cancer in him like we do. I'm not really a "we're done" type of person. I'm more of a slow fade. How about you? Idk, I thought we both were the type to want to do everything with our partner including the being a better parent business. Cancer veens are so clingy omg I love it until youre not and you slow fade from what I've read you jerks.

But on the other end of the coin..if the result of me speaking out gives me more grief aka I have to deal with theatrics and I'm not really in the energy to do it..then I bypass it. I will speak up honestly and bluntly with people who understand it and don't get riled up...and see the message for what it is. For the rest, it isn't worth dealing with the aftermath for me. I'll just walk. But I don't date the second type of people to begin with.

I thought some people could take it, they couldn't. So we try to go around that to not cause emotional harm.Posted by DivaCanLeoof course don't try to make us feel low, but if its' constructive....Posted by bubbythewhale1that's so stupid...you notice crabs marry other crabs, scorpios, leos cause they don't hide what we need to hear. how does one grow if someone is always stepping around you....worried they'll hurt your feelings
@yupvirgo "Come to think of it, when I'm trying real hard to not offend Cancers, I usually do for some reason unknown to me coz they give me this sullen look but never really say anything."
I did that a few times w/ cancer dude!!! Like i'll think of 60 things to not say, then when I speak im immediately like WTF?! why'd you say that shit now they're going to think ______. (tries to fix it, has panic attack) lol
we see that as you being manipulative by the way
I do agree that if nothing is ultimately said, that in itself dooms it. So earth suns need to state it, just maybe not freeze it until they find the right tone/words/etc. We just worry a lot about the way things are received.
Without honesty there can be no trust. Without trust there is no connection, no relationship, no longevity.
But on the other end of the coin..if the result of me speaking out gives me more grief aka I have to deal with theatrics and I'm not really in the energy to do it..then I bypass it. I will speak up honestly and bluntly with people who understand it and don't get riled up...and see the message for what it is. For the rest, it isn't worth dealing with the aftermath for me. I'll just walk. But I don't date the second type of people to begin with.
At first you said up above that you keep your true intent to yourself to spare others feelings. Now the truth comes out. The real reason is to spare yourself from confrontation.
Best not involve yourself in any level of partnership then. Confrontation is inevitable. The fruits of confrontation out weigh the minimal discomfort. You find compromise, and ultimately a better understanding of each other.

My bf is a Virgo. After 2.5 years of him living with me (1 year of his son living with us), he shocked me Monday night by asking would we be ok (as a couple) if he moved out - that he wants to parent his son better and having a small place, just the two of them, he could do that better. But he also wants to know if we would be ok?
A few things:
1) my son (25) moved back in 3 months ago. I have a 4 bedroom house.
2) the bf works full time and then goes straight to his small business/passion. He is gone from home about 730-100pm, sometimes later, and sometimes he travels for that passion on the weekends.
3) His son is 17, HS dropout, video game addict and isn't self-motivated at all. He is a nice kid but likes to stay in room, sleeps for 15+ hours a day (gaming on iphone he uses just for wifi - no phone calls) or in the basement playing video games. Son's mom pretty much said, "I am done, you take him." He only had 4 credits after last year. Didn't like school. Going to a class twice a week for GED but its been months, and so far no practice test. He reminds me of a 14-year-old. Content with his games.
4) In the year his son has been there, the bf hasn't changed his routine. In the year there he hasn't done much with his son. His son is basically free to do as he wants. He does do chores when asked, but his dad isn't on him consistently. His dad isn't there most of the time. And his mode of parenting, while very noble, is a talk. He is a very polite Virgo.
5) In the 2.5 years we've only had about 4 arguments and even they were just arguments. He is the Virgo type that I thought was loyal, stuck, and never left. He has never made me feel like he was a player, does not like to lie and doesn't. He has never been rude to me and pretty much the other arguments were ones I initiated over, looking back, dumb stuff. I thought that as long as I stuck, he would stick and we could have a life together. I finally felt secure in a relationship.
Monday night we talked. I knew he was upset after Sunday. I knew something was amiss Sat night too. He is the type that won't say anything when upset but you can tell. Sunday night I pretty much left him be.
He was upset over something my son did the weekend. And something I did ("the way you parent may be just different") He didn't like that I watched my grandson (2) (comes up ever few weekends) while my son went out later that night.
He didn't like that we didn't go out.
Now just about every weekend the bf never wants to go out - he only does when I initiate. Of all the times, he wanted to go out sat night.
Sunday he got mad cause I had a rental that weekend. I let my son use it to take grandson back to his moms (2 hours round trip). BF didn't have his tags renewed yet so he had been driving one of my vehicles for the previous 3 weeks. I was fine with him taking my car that day. It was there. But he got (quietly) upset and took his car - with expired tags.
We talked about my son. I explained my position. I cleared up some misunderstandings.
Then he shared, "Would things be ok with us if I moved out and got an apartment. I am not doing a good job parenting and I want to do that"
Would we be ok as in an intact couple? I fell apart.
I am a cancer. It was a full moon Sunday - I was the full cancer all day Monday. I was crying when we were talking. Hell, I was crying just about the whole day before even talking to him - I was going through the cancer thing of imagining things then feeling emotional about them and having full anxiety. (I am much more grounded today.)
I was feeling very vulnerable. I felt like I was being faulted for nothing in my control.My son staying there is temporary and I feel like things were fine before, he wasn't considering moving out before my son got there and now he is. And the bf did the martyr thing “your son needs to stay here with you during this time”
Is my son there making him feel like he isn't the man in the house? Is my son there bothersome to him? Is my grandson there bothersome to him? BF said he likes my son. That he thinks he is a good person. Etc.
Before my son got there he never hinted at moving out.
Is my relationship with my son bothersome to him? We are close in that we talk. My son is an extrovert. he is always chatty and the life of a party. He works full time. Is being the typical 25 year old and is also never around.
We ended the conversation Monday with:
He said it was "just something I had thought about and I wanted to be honest with you", that he all we did was just talk and that he loved me and that he had no complaints about our relationship.
Later that night he made a conscious effort to hold me all night.
My view:
He thinks that he could be a better parent by getting an apartment (paying a bill he can’t afford) and not changing his routine (he is not going to give up his passion) and having his son stay there all day alone would be better than staying at the house? At least I take his son with me sometimes - he is on a team sport I manage, and I take him to dinner with me and my kids at times. And when I am there with him, I talk to him.
Financially it makes no sense – he is always late paying the few others bills he has – why add more?
A few more things:
1) Sunday I found apartment applications in my truck (he had been driving) when I took back the rental. I haven't mentioned it to him that I know. It was more than just "I've thought about it". He is planning on moving out isn't he? Ok, they were not filled out. But they were there. Yeah, he doesn't throw anything away (he is a semi hoarder) but going to check out an apartment is more than just a thought.
2) Monday through Wednesday he was very cautious of his phone, making sure it was never around me- whereas before he would leave it around me all the time, even have me answer it. For the last 6 months I've been helping at his business. Normally he would leave his phone at the counter with me. Monday - Wed he made an effort not too It would be there when I got there and then he would pick it up and take it with him.
Thursday morning he almost took down the bathroom door opening it so hard - he had his phone on the bed while he showered. It was like, “oh shit I forgot my phone was on the bed next to her”
Have I looked at his phone? (yeah about a year ago) and he never found out. (longer story there).
He is not the player Virgo type. At least in 2.5 years prior he has never once hinted at that. So all this guarding phone thing was surprising.
He has always been secretive in that he likes his privacy. And I am a curious cat so I have learned to not pry. Somethings I fail and sometimes I've done ok.
It would be very surprising to me if he was talking to another woman - only because he is the type that believes a man shouldn't be sleeping around. Maybe I am putting way too much into that.
He never left his exs, they all left him.
I feel like after the scare Thursday morning and rushing out the bathroom, that he cleaned up his phone during the day and went back to leaving it around me Thursday night at his business. (maybe I am making too much of it). I have not mentioned it to him.
I feel like this moving out is more than just a thought - that he has been looking. That it is coming. Is it??
I feel that his is being secretive more so than normal. He isn't talking to me about his business like he used too. I have been guarded too so I guess it is just that he is thinking things through.
My question is - if he wants to move out why would he want he want to know if we would still be ok as a couple? How can you expect a Cancer to go from being happy to living with you for over 2 years, to move out and leave her there and expect her to be ok? I can't see a moving back in. And I know myself, I can’t do it. It would be too hard to have an empty home again. A breakup would be next. Is that the intention - get freedom and then run with it?
We are going on a big trip in January - and some of his family members and mine are going too. Virgos move slow - wouldn't it have made more sense to wait until after this trip to decide to move??
Right now I don't want to argue with him. Emotionally, I am rocked. But the applications, the phone behavior, the secretiveness, the distance (no calls during week etc.) It is growing.
Last night he tried to tell me I didn't hear something that I clearly heard him say to another guy at his business. "No you didn't hear that" he said. Ah, yes I did! But I didn't respond back.
I've been sick all week - head cold. I don't have the energy for the get in his face and let him know that I know what I heard chat.
He has a big event this weekend too. I figure why start another argument before this trip. One that could have me saying things I would probably regret later. I’ve learned that he does take all words seriously.
What is this virgo man thinking? Will he do the, "let me turn into an ass so she can kick me out and I can later say, “she left me”? etc. We are both 46. I am too old for games.
I could understand if he would have said, I am going to end this business and devote full time to getting my son right. But he has other kids he neglects too and he isn’t closing his business. It isn't a profitable one - it is a passion one.
Sorry so long. Looking for perspective. I am feeling like I can't plan a life with him anymore. My foundation has been rocked.
Was this just a thought or should I expect it to come to fruition?
Sorry so long.
