I'm a Scorpio. Im struggling to understand him. Together we get along so well, like best friends and we can trust each other and laugh together. Mentally and physically we work well.
But apart, both of us being introverted can be quite distant. But I find he can be emotionally cold and is much less passionate than I in the sense I will fight for what I want whereas he lives commitment-free other than his passion towards his job. A workaholic, which I find admirable but his lack of strive in other areas can be somewhat irritating.
We used to argue quite a lot and nit-pick each other's flaws. Both being sensitive to criticism and strong opinionated this did not end well... I became emotional and he told me to pull it together and that it's hard for him to be dating someone so emotional. We ended up both apologising and realising how much we hate there being conflict between us.
I want to understand his feeling towards me and intentions. From the start he admitted to committment issues due to previous hurt in a relationship and made aware to me he could not be fully committed to me because work is his priority. Recently he's admitted to being fully committed to me, still work is his priority, but he's told me how serious he is about me. He suggested the idea of seeing eachotjer last weekend and I became pushy about getting a definite answer which scared him off and our plans fell through. He's probably just stressed with work but he's suddenly become very, very distant. I've been more clingy than usual as I have been a little upset by a recent job loss am now coming to isolate myself again.
He does nice little gestures, is physically touchy and loving, talks about me to friends and we've gotten to know each others families. He discusses our future together. My gut tells me he wants to be with me but on another level wants to be independent and not tied down. We're both young and so I am still maturing emotionally and he is learning to accept his own emotions.
I just want to be able to understand him. I feel as though I care about him more than he does me but in saying that I am much more expressive and it can be hard to know what's going on for him. He often misses me and wants to see me and stresses if I'm overly distant for too long, but after work stress and getting a new car he rarely contacts me right now. Im afraid he is over-analysing and pulling away slowly to end things but I could just be overthinking myself. I just need to understand him, his hot and cold behaviour, are his feelings for me deeper than I realise? With time good things come between us... do I just need to give him more time? I sense his feelings are very present by his little gestures but fear he could never feel as deeply as I.
