This topic was created in the Capricorn forum by sugarplumeow on Thursday, September 10, 2020 and has 26 replies.
He doesn't want to get minimum wage job, but he's looking for jobs in his profession. He is also getting money from the government
lol No why would I do that
Oh I see you were joking
You don't know about Capricorns??? They always make money eventually. Even if they're losing, that's temporary.

Are you putting pressure on him?


If you’re doing that, you’re showing him a lack of security or stability if you have hard times.


Sometimes you have give and take in a relationship and you might have to big the big earner.


Capricorn needs security.


You complained about how you resent him for picking that drug addict gold digger chick over you, and she made him broke.


You’ve mentioned he’s lost his drive and most likely depressed.


You chose to be with him when he’s not ready to be up, but trying to build himself up again.


The last thing he needs is his one source of comfort, pressuring him to make money fast, and to do something he doesn’t want to do to benefit your need for security.


He will lose faith in you if you make him feel inadequate since he’s already there on his own.
wow I never thought of it that way. Thank you. I just got worried because my cancer psychologist said "this relationship isn't going anywhere and he isn't trying ". I was floored that she said that, I thought he was trying hard. When I brought it up to her she said "I said that? I don't remember that "

lol No why would I do that
Are you a Capricorn too?


What would you do?


I'm a Capricorn and I would Hate a minimum wage job, just to get money.

Its a waste of time, when I good be working earning decent money.


Capricorns are all about work.


We don't just want a job.

We want a CAREER!


So the best thing you can do is Support him in finding jobs for his profession, maybe even look out for jobs for him that he may not have spotted himself, especially with a good wage for it, and tell him to apply.


Hope this helps.

Is he qualified properly? If he is then let him find his job, at the end he's still getting money from government.


If he's not qualified properly then encourage him to long term plan- like tell him he needs qualifications, so he should get any and then he should try to work on his carrier by getting wores job, but with promotion perspective.


My ex started from bottom, and I was the one who told him he should try get promotion on better position. He wasn't qualified enough for better jobs. The plan I presented to him worked and now he's more than ever satisfied with his job.


Capricorn often doesn’t understand their potential and they are edgy about it- they get under qualified job or they looking for something that may be not for their qualifications. It's good to talk with them and show them reality of what they can and can't. If it's genuine and logical advice they will Listen to it.


My ex was like this, and now he got great job and he's more than happy I engouraged him back then to look in diffrent perspectives about his career.
so true about the potential.


most cap i've encountered always seem to be struggling professionally or financially.


but i think being a universal sign kinda makes you depressed and hard to satisfy.

Wait is this the backstory?


She took him back after he left her for a stripper? And is now supposeD to be holding him down?


This is why I will never advocate for a woman supporting a man financially. He’s going to use her to get up again and leave her again.


He is playing her.

Look for jobs for him? That’s not her place nor is it her job. Let that man pull himself up by his own bootstraps.

That’s for her to figure out.


But an unemployed Capricorn is already inadequate in his own mind. If you pressure them they go deeper. It’s best to let them look for work like he’s doing and leave him be.


But I don’t agree with being serious with someone who is in his state since he’s got to figure his own shit out

I agree with your last paragraph.


That’s why I think he’s using her. Sad.

Sure. I know.

I don't mean literally though. It was just a thought.
if he's actively looking for work in his field and not settling for shit, and not taking advantage of you, then be supportive. caps always have a plan in motion and won't stay down for long.
To clarify he did not leave me for another woman. We had an arrangement that if said, would piss people off here. What do you think he's using me for?I do not feel used . When I met him, he told me he had an on again off again relationship, we were just jumping into the sack.
And to get deeper into the backstory, we have known each other for 5 years. He was successful with being a commercial weed grower and made 10 grand weekly.He had a stroke and told me to move on,I got caught up with a Virgo, who pressured me to be with him. Tried to forget this Capricorn, but that did not work. We have always had a magnetic pull towards each other.

I know that Capricorn tried to get back with his ex,before we got serious . She( his ex) is a manipulative woman who is good with her words. (she sent me a 5 page text message telling me what a bad person I am).


In the fall of 2018 my Capricorn asked me to live with him.(because I was going to school near his house). Since then we've been living together and its been fun. He treats me well and he respects me.


Once I asked my therapist if she thought he was using me, being the daughter of a narcissist, its hard to see when someone is.

she told me that from what I told her, it does not seem like it.


No one is saying there is

He doesn't want to get minimum wage job, but he's looking for jobs in his profession. He is also getting money from the government
If he qualified for unemployment he should take every penny he is allotted.

Why get a minimum wage job when he can ride out his pandemic wave and get back into his profession where he has invested time to gain experience and education in order to make more $ $ .


Would you want to get a minimum wage job if you had studied a profession and gained experience in said profession? Would you throw that all away to fill grocery bags for 8 hours and $ 8/hr?

I want to thank everyone for answering my question. Sometimes I feel embarrassed over this . When i tell him about my embarrassment he says " there's nothing to be embarrassed about" . Yet I have a mother who constantly tells me that I should date a rich man.
hAHAH oh yeah thats a possibility
Why is he not going back to growing/trading weed?
He treats me really well, we have discussed our future together many times too. He always encourages me to be my best.
To answer the question about the weed business, they got robbed by the girl he was datings friends (I say that because he told me that only two people outside the business knew; where the grow operation was and how many plants). His business partner claims that they found a new location, and are waiting for permits. At the time last year, my boyfriend wanted to work at the grow population, but it fell through and he worked for lyft. Now he doesn't want to work for lyft anymore
he wants to go back to being a property manager
