Hmmm finished the rest. The saying single to another woman really bothers me and then the fight escalating to him asking for his key backs isn't sitting well at all. For me that would be enough to reevaluate everything and to question everything.
Aqua men are very different in certain areas than us females but one thing I have found that is fairly constant is sharing our emotions with others. To verbally express love is a huge leap and not many will just say it without meaning behind it. Hope that is clear.
At this point he sounds like a jackass that doesn't know his head from his ass and panicking. You gave and gave from what you have shared and he ate it all up. Now if you have the desire to continue, do not give so freely via actions but verbally tell him you do love him if that is the case. Sounds silly but that not being said might be an underling insecurity of his.
@justagirl, the fight and him completely undoing his words, almost had me think perhaps I was delusional but apparently as confirmed, I am not. You see why I was fuming, he even had the audacity to say I was being crazy and irrational for reacting the way I did. He said it was too much drama for him, and he knew I was the least dramatic of all the women he ever knew. However, I had my limits, that reached the boundaries of it, and blew a fuse. I was very angry, I had every right to. The way he reacted to my anger, when he was in the wrong, then to try to put the blame on me. That night, lets just say I barely slept, I felt like I did not know the man who was laying next to me. The mere touch of him, burned me. Yet that next morning, he tried so hard to reach out affectionately, in hopes to undo the damage, but the damage was done, I was extremely hurt. Yes, I am still reevaluating and questioning everything. I never forced him into being exclusive, he wanted it. Yet he knew, if he wanted other women, he could not have me. It would hurt too much, I would leave him.
However, he said he loves me, as early as a few weeks into knowing one another. That was the very first time, yet when he said it, every time afterwards when I refer back to it. He would be in denial, as if he never meant it. That is why despite hearing - "I love you." so many times from him, I am not quite sure if he is being comedic, having a bit of fun, or that he deeply sincerely means this. A part of why, I had not said it back to him yet but of course, I love him. Why would a woman do all this if she did not love the man ?
I figured, he was panicking, I am not pressuring him at the moment, in fact I have been pushing him forward to achieve his desire to leave. The more I take a step back now, the more he reacts out of hurt. The more he tells me of his plans to do this or that, after he leaves this city. The more I am supportive of it, the more he seems to despise me for being supportive of it. It almost feels as if he wants to tell me to hurt me, and keep me detached. Yet when he feels me detaching, he is afraid I will not care enough, leave him, and forget him. I mean, choose, you cannot have it both ways. Water Bearers are a fixed sign as I am, as a Stinger. It is either this, or that, there is not other choice.
Aquas cane be hypocrites and paradoxes at the same time. At least I know I can be. TBH, I don't know how others put up with our shit sometimes. I wish I could make suggests on how to help but I really do not know what to say other than what I have. I will say, words mean everything to this Aqua, perhaps he is similar? I am not action oriented in my love language. do you happen to know his merc? I will hope its not Cap like mine.click to expand

That is typical Aquarius men. They don’t share so obviously he felt like you were important enough to ask for exclusivity.
But things have changed. He now wants to move away and he says that you two are not a couple. He is going backwards now.
Maybe he didn’t feel that you loved him enough or something else but right now I think he is not committed to you anymore. But at the same time he really cares for you and doesn’t want to hurt you.

He wanted to move away prior to even being exclusive, it was the very reason why I told him it may not be a wise idea for us to be together. It was why I did not trust him and was dragging my feet. He fought tooth and nail to prove to me that he was serious. Yet, he fought, saying, nothing is confirmed yet, that he wants a reason to stay. Not until, he has handed in his notice, booked his flight ticket etc. Even during, and after the argument he said the same, that everything may change. Yes, he wants to leave, but if given the opportunity for something good in this city, he will stay.
I no longer know, maybe I will try to speak with him again soon to see where his head is at.click to expand

You are such a sweet scorp 😭😭😭😭😭 but you know what they say, dont be wife material for a man who is not husband material for you yet. So maybe caring a lot for him is too soon. Let him work hard for it. Like for example cook for him if he takes you out for dinner one evening or if he volunteers to do the dishes. Keep pulling back a bit more (i am so dead with aqua men. I bet i will get comments that gems are manipulative. Im expecting it alright lol) and let him chase for your love and care. These men dunno what they got til she’s gone. Im not saying leave him! But more like give him space to realize your worth. That life is incomplete without you. That will make him come for you and really commit not just through words but also through his actions.
Spent (maybe wasted is a better word) four years with a scorp sun/aqua moon/cap mars. He never fully let me in until I grew tired of not being claimed. After I walked away he told me I was the only woman he had ever loved. So I'll agree with your comment about not knowing what they have until it's gone, and it's a shame really...
@TheLadyScorpio, trying to mesh with an air sign is difficult for water/water dominant signs. Do you love him/have passion for him? I'm not hearing either in what you have shared...
That was my dilemma recently with an aqua ex fling. Basically after I got in another relationship, it wad the only time he realized im definitely gone for good, that he is ready to commit and that he actually loves me. Hes been trying to win me back for a year now. Unfortunately, I dont plan on getting in an rs with him. The ship has sailed.click to expand

As absurd as it may seem at first glance but I think he moves away in order to become a man that deserves you.
The "I'm single" statement isn't okay but might be driven by potential pain he felt because you were already planning your life without him.

"and pleased that he finally found someone who he never knew could be what he wanted, whilst having her own professional ambitions as well"
Beware of manipulation maneuvers where you are felt valuable for making decisions that don't belong to you, expect selflessness from him as well, not appreciation for your sacrifices. Boundaries are necessary in life.
I would not advise any game or change of route more than your reflection over how your needs are being met in this relationship and his effort in fulfilling them in general.
I could feel appreciation but I do not sense selflessness on his part, to be honest. Which is why, I am now pulling back on my selflessness, because you could only give so much before you realise, maybe this is not a balanced enough exchange. Lots of reflection needed, of course, and hopefully an honest conversation with him some time soon. He has been a bit distant in communication lately.
Same here, time to step back and evaluate my relationship. Why do we as women mold and give, only to not expect just as much in return? I'm much stronger and smarter than this, but love screws my head up...
Love, a feeling we cannot control. The heart wants what the heart wants. However, at the end of the day Love is a choice, we could only hope others will make the same choices we do.
You are still with your Stinger Gent ?
Truer words have never been said. And that is the hardest part about relationships, to ensure that they aren't one-sided or lopsided.
I am, but last weekend he casually dropped into conversation that in a little over two years from now his plan is to move out of NY. Last night he told me he wants to leave his dog with me when he moves. So my dilemma is do I enjoy the next two years with him, or disengage myself now so I don't invest more time and feelings into something that will inevitably end? Rather torn up over this today, throwing myself into work to avoid thinking/feeling....
Just out of curiosity... why is he not asking you to move with him but instead leaving his dog with you? Coz I guess in a way, I can relate to your situation because my aqua has a chance to move overseas with his company for his career development. But we have decided that wherever he goes, I am willing to quit my job and join him. And he wont move if his company cannot get me the proper documentation so I can move with him. I think its definitely something to think aboit if you wanna spend the next 2 years staying with him or if you should start moving on soon... 😢click to expand

My response was based in what I got out of reading the whole thread but like I said it could mean that:
He may think that you are the one that is not committed to him and he is keeping his options open.
Either way I think the best approach to him is being very direct and honest and have a good one to one talk without argument to see where you both stand.click to expand

You say you are hurt because of his decision to leave. Yet, towards him, you tell him you support him if he wants to leave. I can imagine this is confusing to him. It may even make him feel you don't care, because if you would, you would ask him not to go, right?
It seems you make a lot of assumptions instead of having an honest and open talk with him about how you really feel.
In the meantime he is changing his mind. It seems he is having doubts about you, about the relationship. Is there no way you can move together? Does him handing in his notice mean you have to be seperated?
That's a Scorpio thing tbh. We would never stop someone from leaving, especially if it's about their career. We're willing to support them from afar. Being far, doesn't mean they can't meet though.
I think they need to communicate better. To decide what they really want and need.click to expand

He is not particularly cold, but sometimes he could detach. He does not say half of what he truly feels, which is a problem because as good as I am in reading him, sometimes I cannot read everything. Unless put on the spot, or he becomes emotional, he does not speak enough.
Thank goodness I am not the only one experiencing that with Cap Merc. Aqua. Mine is the same. Sometimes it frustrates me coz it feels like i need to squeeze him for emotions. He doesnt talk about how he feels unless I’m upset with him. Most days hes just talking about basic stuff. Not so much about how he feels. Even about work. Only during the days when its really stressful, he would start to share. But most days he just likes to keep to himself.click to expand

I was not planning my life without him, prior to his single comment. It was only after the argument, that I begun to plan again. How my life will be when he is gone, that is only rational and logical. He seems hurt that I did, but he kept speaking of leaving. Always asking for my opinion and comments in regards to his decision process. He never stops asking to see what I think. Every time, he does, it feels like a deeper stab into my heart.
Yes, he does have confidence issues and insecurities. He believes I am incredibly intelligent and beautiful, that he is not all that special, nor handsome. I have tried hard to inspire him, and have. Yet, perhaps he has doubts ? I do not know.
It's possible that he is completly oblivious to that and to him it feels like you are "abandoning" him at this very first(?) test of durability. The reason he keeps talking about it might be because he wants to hear you say that you don't want him to leave. It sounds like he needs some reaffirmations until he feels worthy to be loved by you.
In his mind you might not care enough to be hurt by what he says and does until you have hammered that into his head.
Might be the classic Cap Venus thing that he has to slay a couple of dragons and accomplish things of great value before he even dares to approach his personal princess.click to expand

Good for you, leave it sailed! We have way too much to offer to accept scraps or half-assed promises. They only want us when we've moved on to someone else...
Yes. And it sucks because it causes confusion when they reach out. But yes, definitely keeping it sailed. Unfortunately, I dont give second chances to men. Its either they know right from the start or they dont. Im so done giving all the time. They want us when we have moved on for various reasons but whatever reason it is, its prolly not worth the time anymore. Sad truth. Oh well. I hope you can clear up things too. Its draining yo constantly worry about relationships and the future of it. 😢click to expand

"Recently, one of the women he had dated in the past, reached out to him and he wrote that he was single. He showed me all the messages, and that angered me. We agreed on what we were, we were living as a couple, we talk like a couple, he referred to himself as my SO. No, he did not reply further to those women after saying so despite their constant messages. He told me he would not and he did not. However, that was a dagger to my heart. We had an intense argument afterwards, where he tried to undo all that he ever said to me, all those promises. As if I was nothing, that I never mattered to him, that I was never a SO to him. It got so bad, he told me to give him back his keys and that I should leave. Yet in the end, I fought to stay and he, I believe wanted me to as well. As the next morning, he seemed very regretful or remorseful and was very loving, trying to gauge how hurt I was. "
why he say he is single if he's with you?
he's not single anymore. he's with u. that should be already known without words.
and why he has to encourage these women in the past that he's single? Instead of saying I'm in love /love someone else and i'm attached now?
that part i dont like that he did that ...
some of these men, ugh.
so insecure. he needs to put his foot down and want you only you.
because he has that capricorn, i can only guess he is super insecure about you, and doesn't know if you love him the same way. He needs to have one foot out the door, while having his other one INSIDE the door.
until you show you with deepest affection that he is all you need.
although i'm not sure if that's from his capricorn or pisces or even from his aquarius.
although i'm a woman, i'm pretty needy and get really sad when i dont sense the INTENSITY ...
i can see you are also frustrated at his actions.
let us know what's going on after this.
I have shown him with everything I have that I want him and nobody else. We practically live together, I help him keep his home and life tidy so he could focus all his energy on his professional career and rise. Verbally, emotionally, mentally, and physically I keep showing him that I care, @lisabethur8. This is all Stinger energy being thrown at him, how much more clear could I be ?
Precisely, he told them he was single. I told him but we are together, if I went or told another man I was single. He would have had a fit, I even told him if I were to tell another man that - how would you feel ? He went completely silent, he knows he would hate it. I told him, yes you are not replying these women after they write you and after having said you are single. Yet you are leading them on by giving them false hope by saying that, that is not right. If I spoke with other men this way, he would say I cheated (yet if we are not a couple, as he says now, it would not be considered cheating) Then he had a fit, and argument that we are in fact not together, nor are we a couple, that I misunderstood everything. All his actions told me, we are together, but his words keep changing.
He is making my heart ache.
I would have walked out if my guy were to say he is single to anyone when we are in a relationship.
You have tons of patience, js.click to expand

We had an intense argument afterwards, where he tried to undo all that he ever said to me, all those promises. As if I was nothing, that I never mattered to him, that I was never a SO to him. It got so bad, he told me to give him back his keys and that I should leave. Yet in the end, I fought to stay and he, I believe wanted me to as well. As the next morning, he seemed very regretful or remorseful and was very loving, trying to gauge how hurt I was. "
why he say he is single if he's with you?
he's not single anymore. he's with u. that should be already known without words.
and why he has to encourage these women in the past that he's single? Instead of saying I'm in love /love someone else and i'm attached now?
that part i dont like that he did that ...
some of these men, ugh.
so insecure. he needs to put his foot down and want you only you.
because he has that capricorn, i can only guess he is super insecure about you, and doesn't know if you love him the same way. He needs to have one foot out the door, while having his other one INSIDE the door.
until you show you with deepest affection that he is all you need.
although i'm not sure if that's from his capricorn or pisces or even from his aquarius.
although i'm a woman, i'm pretty needy and get really sad when i dont sense the INTENSITY ...
i can see you are also frustrated at his actions.
let us know what's going on after this.
I have shown him with everything I have that I want him and nobody else. We practically live together, I help him keep his home and life tidy so he could focus all his energy on his professional career and rise. Verbally, emotionally, mentally, and physically I keep showing him that I care, @lisabethur8. This is all Stinger energy being thrown at him, how much more clear could I be ?
Precisely, he told them he was single. I told him but we are together, if I went or told another man I was single. He would have had a fit, I even told him if I were to tell another man that - how would you feel ? He went completely silent, he knows he would hate it. I told him, yes you are not replying these women after they write you and after having said you are single. Yet you are leading them on by giving them false hope by saying that, that is not right. If I spoke with other men this way, he would say I cheated (yet if we are not a couple, as he says now, it would not be considered cheating) Then he had a fit, and argument that we are in fact not together, nor are we a couple, that I misunderstood everything. All his actions told me, we are together, but his words keep changing.
He is making my heart ache.
I would have walked out if my guy were to say he is single to anyone when we are in a relationship.
You have tons of patience, js.
Precisely why I was angry, especially when we had the discussion to refer to ourselves as a couple in a relationship to those who ask us. So publicly, we are known as so. Yet, now he said we were never in a relationship, nor were we ever a couple and that is why he tells such women he is single. I was fuming, he had the audacity to call me crazy for misunderstanding, when I am certain I did not misunderstand him.
He's panicking.
I've seen this with scorp women and air sign men (mostly with my gem guy friends and an aqua guy friend).
This is how it goes from what I've seen.
Scorp women within a month gets attached or they go all in and work very hard which is a lot. Idk why but it doesn't surprise me anymore when I see scorp women do this esp with air sign men. What happens is air sign men do commit in their own way by spending time, sharing their world and also stay faithful to these ladies... but when things are "defined" as a relationshipe they panic. When things aren't defined, the guy is happy but the scorp women weren't happy and they threw tantrums and wanted to call it quits.
Imo, it works great if things were taken at a slower pace.
You know, I find this funny how you constantly speak for our sign, with so much ignorance. Scorpio don't get attached fast lmao. It takes quite an amount of time, because we don't trust others (even if we seem like we do, we don't). Even OP said she was reluctant at first and pushed him away, yet he would still fight for her. Basically, he got attached first, not her.
Nothing against you, but please, get your facts right.click to expand

Hmmm finished the rest. The saying single to another woman really bothers me and then the fight escalating to him asking for his key backs isn't sitting well at all. For me that would be enough to reevaluate everything and to question everything.
Aqua men are very different in certain areas than us females but one thing I have found that is fairly constant is sharing our emotions with others. To verbally express love is a huge leap and not many will just say it without meaning behind it. Hope that is clear.
At this point he sounds like a jackass that doesn't know his head from his ass and panicking. You gave and gave from what you have shared and he ate it all up. Now if you have the desire to continue, do not give so freely via actions but verbally tell him you do love him if that is the case. Sounds silly but that not being said might be an underling insecurity of his.
@justagirl, the fight and him completely undoing his words, almost had me think perhaps I was delusional but apparently as confirmed, I am not. You see why I was fuming, he even had the audacity to say I was being crazy and irrational for reacting the way I did. He said it was too much drama for him, and he knew I was the least dramatic of all the women he ever knew. However, I had my limits, that reached the boundaries of it, and blew a fuse. I was very angry, I had every right to. The way he reacted to my anger, when he was in the wrong, then to try to put the blame on me. That night, lets just say I barely slept, I felt like I did not know the man who was laying next to me. The mere touch of him, burned me. Yet that next morning, he tried so hard to reach out affectionately, in hopes to undo the damage, but the damage was done, I was extremely hurt. Yes, I am still reevaluating and questioning everything. I never forced him into being exclusive, he wanted it. Yet he knew, if he wanted other women, he could not have me. It would hurt too much, I would leave him.
However, he said he loves me, as early as a few weeks into knowing one another. That was the very first time, yet when he said it, every time afterwards when I refer back to it. He would be in denial, as if he never meant it. That is why despite hearing - "I love you." so many times from him, I am not quite sure if he is being comedic, having a bit of fun, or that he deeply sincerely means this. A part of why, I had not said it back to him yet but of course, I love him. Why would a woman do all this if she did not love the man ?
I figured, he was panicking, I am not pressuring him at the moment, in fact I have been pushing him forward to achieve his desire to leave. The more I take a step back now, the more he reacts out of hurt. The more he tells me of his plans to do this or that, after he leaves this city. The more I am supportive of it, the more he seems to despise me for being supportive of it. It almost feels as if he wants to tell me to hurt me, and keep me detached. Yet when he feels me detaching, he is afraid I will not care enough, leave him, and forget him. I mean, choose, you cannot have it both ways. Water Bearers are a fixed sign as I am, as a Stinger. It is either this, or that, there is not other choice.
Aquas cane be hypocrites and paradoxes at the same time. At least I know I can be. TBH, I don't know how others put up with our shit sometimes. I wish I could make suggests on how to help but I really do not know what to say other than what I have. I will say, words mean everything to this Aqua, perhaps he is similar? I am not action oriented in my love language. do you happen to know his merc? I will hope its not Cap like mine.
It is in Goat, like yours.click to expand

Take this scenario, you know you would be right if OP hadn't moved in way too soon with the Aqua and only recently she was interested in an Aries? No disrespect to TLS. Imo, she moved in too soon and did way too much for this Aqua.
Maybe it's your Sag moon that makes you take time in a relationship but I've seen this scenario play out irl.

You are such a sweet scorp 😭😭😭😭😭 but you know what they say, dont be wife material for a man who is not husband material for you yet. So maybe caring a lot for him is too soon. Let him work hard for it. Like for example cook for him if he takes you out for dinner one evening or if he volunteers to do the dishes. Keep pulling back a bit more (i am so dead with aqua men. I bet i will get comments that gems are manipulative. Im expecting it alright lol) and let him chase for your love and care. These men dunno what they got til she’s gone. Im not saying leave him! But more like give him space to realize your worth. That life is incomplete without you. That will make him come for you and really commit not just through words but also through his actions.
Spent (maybe wasted is a better word) four years with a scorp sun/aqua moon/cap mars. He never fully let me in until I grew tired of not being claimed. After I walked away he told me I was the only woman he had ever loved. So I'll agree with your comment about not knowing what they have until it's gone, and it's a shame really...
@TheLadyScorpio, trying to mesh with an air sign is difficult for water/water dominant signs. Do you love him/have passion for him? I'm not hearing either in what you have shared...
That was my dilemma recently with an aqua ex fling. Basically after I got in another relationship, it wad the only time he realized im definitely gone for good, that he is ready to commit and that he actually loves me. Hes been trying to win me back for a year now. Unfortunately, I dont plan on getting in an rs with him. The ship has sailed.
Good for you, leave it sailed! We have way too much to offer to accept scraps or half-assed promises. They only want us when we've moved on to someone else...
Yes. And it sucks because it causes confusion when they reach out. But yes, definitely keeping it sailed. Unfortunately, I dont give second chances to men. Its either they know right from the start or they dont. Im so done giving all the time. They want us when we have moved on for various reasons but whatever reason it is, its prolly not worth the time anymore. Sad truth. Oh well. I hope you can clear up things too. Its draining yo constantly worry about relationships and the future of it. 😢
Cheers to no second chances, same here! Don't play the games with me, either you want me or you don't...it's quite simple.
Ironically, this scorp has an aqua moon like the other. You'd think I would learn to protect my heart better, but my libra moon gets involved every single time lol.click to expand

@TheLadyScorpio
That is typical Aquarius men. They don’t share so obviously he felt like you were important enough to ask for exclusivity.
But things have changed. He now wants to move away and he says that you two are not a couple. He is going backwards now.
Maybe he didn’t feel that you loved him enough or something else but right now I think he is not committed to you anymore. But at the same time he really cares for you and doesn’t want to hurt you.
He wanted to move away prior to even being exclusive, it was the very reason why I told him it may not be a wise idea for us to be together. It was why I did not trust him and was dragging my feet. He fought tooth and nail to prove to me that he was serious. Yet, he fought, saying, nothing is confirmed yet, that he wants a reason to stay. Not until, he has handed in his notice, booked his flight ticket etc. Even during, and after the argument he said the same, that everything may change. Yes, he wants to leave, but if given the opportunity for something good in this city, he will stay.
I no longer know, maybe I will try to speak with him again soon to see where his head is at.
My response was based in what I got out of reading the whole thread but like I said it could mean that:
He may think that you are the one that is not committed to him and he is keeping his options open.
Either way I think the best approach to him is being very direct and honest and have a good one to one talk without argument to see where you both stand.
We live together, we build our life together, our lives are intertwined. We discuss our careers, everything.
How is that not committed ?
We agreed not to keep our options open, to cut it all out. He proposed this actually, that we stop seeing other people, that we only choose one another. So we did. I never kept my options open, he knew this.
Yes, I will try to have a good one on one talk with him soon.click to expand

Hello there dear Water Bearers,
So I am currently in a situation with a Water Bearer, his chart is as follows -
Water Bearer Sun
Merman Moon (though possible Ram Moon)
Goat Mercury
Goat Venus
Goat Mars
After a rough start, misunderstandings, denial of our feelings for each other, mixed signals, and hurting one another. Before we were together, he fought to be the man I chose to be with, he wanted me to be his. He compared me to all the other women he was with and said I was always the one that was going to be different, special, and he could not bare to lose me. He could forgo everyone but not me, as I was his closest friend. He always tried to figure out whether or not, I missed him when he was gone, whether or not I liked him, and if I so much as liked other men, he despised it though he tried to remain nonchalant. We finally ended up in a situation where we are now practically living together. Granted, of all the women he have had relationships with prior, he had never lived with one. Nobody has ever shared his home. He was adamant to gain my trust, and to change my mind about men / commitment / love. We both decided to be exclusive to one another, monogamous. Yet regarding commitment, I had to ask him one day what to call us when others asked what we are. He said I could call it whatever I like, so I said I would like to be called his SO. He agreed to it, thereby I thought he meant he agreed we were a couple. After all, he was perfectly fine knowing the public knew us as so. In fact, he himself referred to himself as my SO, more than once.
In order to prove the depth of how serious he was, he gave me the keys to his home. Which no woman has had before. This was all new to him. It was easy living together, on top of my professional career, I also made his home more like a home for once. I do the cooking, laundry, cleaning, etc. Strangely enough, all of which none of his SO ever did for him, nor could do in fact, such as cooking. They did not know how. He often asked me to make specific dishes for him, and was exceedingly happy when I did. He was constantly fascinated, surprised, and pleased that he finally found someone who he never knew could be what he wanted, whilst having her own professional ambitions as well. Why you ask would I do all that for a man ? Simply because I know of his professional ambitions, and his career rise has been draining him. It is my way of best supporting him, to make his life easier, so he could focus on it. He loves my cooking, mostly because no woman has ever taken care of him this way before. It was always him doing most of the work, prior. These are his words, not my own.
However, since having gotten to know me. He said I inspired him to want to be a better man, the best man he could be in terms of his success. Which meant, he now has a desire to move to a different city in about eight months time to further it. Yet, before we decided to be exclusive to one another. I kept giving him an out, told him he will be leaving soon. There would be no point to gain my trust, to invest, to work so hard on choosing one another if it would be all for not. He remained stubborn, adamant, that he will not hand in his notice for many more months still. That I may be the woman he has always been looking for, for marriage, to build a family, etc. I told him not to give me false hope, if he wishes to leave, I will support it, I never stopped a man from pursuing his dreams. I am not that type of woman.
He did everything to convince me that, he truly is looking for a reason to stay. Prior to me, he thought he would stay in this city for many more years. Now, suddenly he has decided he will be certain he will hand in his notice in four months time. However, he still tells me no action has been taken. Nothing is for certain, even though on a daily basis, he speaks as if he is leaving for sure. It hurts. When I support him, encouraging him to leave, telling him of my plans after he is gone. He is extremely hurt. So he wants me to remain attached but detached, he wants to be able to speak as if he is leaving. Yet when I support it entirely, he does not want me to speak as if I am expecting him to exit my life.
Recently, one of the women he had dated in the past, reached out to him and he wrote that he was single. He showed me all the messages, and that angered me. We agreed on what we were, we were living as a couple, we talk like a couple, he referred to himself as my SO. No, he did not reply further to those women after saying so despite their constant messages. He told me he would not and he did not. However, that was a dagger to my heart. We had an intense argument afterwards, where he tried to undo all that he ever said to me, all those promises. As if I was nothing, that I never mattered to him, that I was never a SO to him. It got so bad, he told me to give him back his keys and that I should leave. Yet in the end, I fought to stay and he, I believe wanted me to as well. As the next morning, he seemed very regretful or remorseful and was very loving, trying to gauge how hurt I was.
So which is it, is this some kind of test ?
We are building a life together, yet somehow we are not. Living the life of two people together, yet somehow I have no say because suddenly I am not a SO. One minute he is extremely loving in all his actions, then next he is distant in his words. We are more than all of his past relationships combined, yet he reduces it to less than all that now in title. He loves me, is afraid to let me go, yet in anger during an argument once he told me to leave (I stayed, he seemed glad that I did). I inspire him one minute, the next he is worried that I might distract him. All I have done have been to be me, and ask for honesty on his side. I have made his life much easier, he knows it, yet at the same time in anger sometimes he throws it at me, that he could live alone, and have had for a very long time. That cut me to the core, I never doubted the fact that he could care for himself, I have cared for myself for a very long time as well. Yet, to shove that in my face, when he knew how much I did for him. He was the one to chase after a relationship, saying he was looking for love, the right woman, to build a family. He was the one to bring all that up before, to declare that he loves me. He said it so many a times now, and I have yet to say it still. We were living a life of two people together, and still are. He pulls me up close, and then shoves me away.
What the bloody hell is going on ?

Hmmm finished the rest. The saying single to another woman really bothers me and then the fight escalating to him asking for his key backs isn't sitting well at all. For me that would be enough to reevaluate everything and to question everything.
Aqua men are very different in certain areas than us females but one thing I have found that is fairly constant is sharing our emotions with others. To verbally express love is a huge leap and not many will just say it without meaning behind it. Hope that is clear.
At this point he sounds like a jackass that doesn't know his head from his ass and panicking. You gave and gave from what you have shared and he ate it all up. Now if you have the desire to continue, do not give so freely via actions but verbally tell him you do love him if that is the case. Sounds silly but that not being said might be an underling insecurity of his.
@justagirl, the fight and him completely undoing his words, almost had me think perhaps I was delusional but apparently as confirmed, I am not. You see why I was fuming, he even had the audacity to say I was being crazy and irrational for reacting the way I did. He said it was too much drama for him, and he knew I was the least dramatic of all the women he ever knew. However, I had my limits, that reached the boundaries of it, and blew a fuse. I was very angry, I had every right to. The way he reacted to my anger, when he was in the wrong, then to try to put the blame on me. That night, lets just say I barely slept, I felt like I did not know the man who was laying next to me. The mere touch of him, burned me. Yet that next morning, he tried so hard to reach out affectionately, in hopes to undo the damage, but the damage was done, I was extremely hurt. Yes, I am still reevaluating and questioning everything. I never forced him into being exclusive, he wanted it. Yet he knew, if he wanted other women, he could not have me. It would hurt too much, I would leave him.
However, he said he loves me, as early as a few weeks into knowing one another. That was the very first time, yet when he said it, every time afterwards when I refer back to it. He would be in denial, as if he never meant it. That is why despite hearing - "I love you." so many times from him, I am not quite sure if he is being comedic, having a bit of fun, or that he deeply sincerely means this. A part of why, I had not said it back to him yet but of course, I love him. Why would a woman do all this if she did not love the man ?
I figured, he was panicking, I am not pressuring him at the moment, in fact I have been pushing him forward to achieve his desire to leave. The more I take a step back now, the more he reacts out of hurt. The more he tells me of his plans to do this or that, after he leaves this city. The more I am supportive of it, the more he seems to despise me for being supportive of it. It almost feels as if he wants to tell me to hurt me, and keep me detached. Yet when he feels me detaching, he is afraid I will not care enough, leave him, and forget him. I mean, choose, you cannot have it both ways. Water Bearers are a fixed sign as I am, as a Stinger. It is either this, or that, there is not other choice.
Aquas cane be hypocrites and paradoxes at the same time. At least I know I can be. TBH, I don't know how others put up with our shit sometimes. I wish I could make suggests on how to help but I really do not know what to say other than what I have. I will say, words mean everything to this Aqua, perhaps he is similar? I am not action oriented in my love language. do you happen to know his merc? I will hope its not Cap like mine.
Whats with Cap merc? My aqua has it. Hmmmmmm spill
My Water Bearer has the same Mercury as well.
Does he tend to be cold sometimes? Like not verbally expressive?
He is not particularly cold, but sometimes he could detach. He does not say half of what he truly feels, which is a problem because as good as I am in reading him, sometimes I cannot read everything. Unless put on the spot, or he becomes emotional, he does not speak enough.
Thank goodness I am not the only one experiencing that with Cap Merc. Aqua. Mine is the same. Sometimes it frustrates me coz it feels like i need to squeeze him for emotions. He doesnt talk about how he feels unless I’m upset with him. Most days hes just talking about basic stuff. Not so much about how he feels. Even about work. Only during the days when its really stressful, he would start to share. But most days he just likes to keep to himself.
Oh no, regarding his own life, and his work. He could complain for hours and days. That he never holds back on, he never gives me a break from it. Anything that goes bad in his life, or not to his liking, and he will unleash his dissatisfaction unto me. That he never lacks in sharing, but that could be the Italian in him as well.
Hahhaa yes! Italian men are comfortable in expressing discontent about something 😂 and will express it using their hands too. Omg. Hey my aqua is half Italian hahahaha but he wasnt raised in an Italian household 😂 my aqua barely shares about those as he said he is an only child and used to dealing with things on his own. He just started talking more recently. Hes a very shy personclick to expand

Hello there dear Water Bearers,
So I am currently in a situation with a Water Bearer, his chart is as follows -
Water Bearer Sun
Merman Moon (though possible Ram Moon)
Goat Mercury
Goat Venus
Goat Mars
After a rough start, misunderstandings, denial of our feelings for each other, mixed signals, and hurting one another. Before we were together, he fought to be the man I chose to be with, he wanted me to be his. He compared me to all the other women he was with and said I was always the one that was going to be different, special, and he could not bare to lose me. He could forgo everyone but not me, as I was his closest friend. He always tried to figure out whether or not, I missed him when he was gone, whether or not I liked him, and if I so much as liked other men, he despised it though he tried to remain nonchalant. We finally ended up in a situation where we are now practically living together. Granted, of all the women he have had relationships with prior, he had never lived with one. Nobody has ever shared his home. He was adamant to gain my trust, and to change my mind about men / commitment / love. We both decided to be exclusive to one another, monogamous. Yet regarding commitment, I had to ask him one day what to call us when others asked what we are. He said I could call it whatever I like, so I said I would like to be called his SO. He agreed to it, thereby I thought he meant he agreed we were a couple. After all, he was perfectly fine knowing the public knew us as so. In fact, he himself referred to himself as my SO, more than once.
In order to prove the depth of how serious he was, he gave me the keys to his home. Which no woman has had before. This was all new to him. It was easy living together, on top of my professional career, I also made his home more like a home for once. I do the cooking, laundry, cleaning, etc. Strangely enough, all of which none of his SO ever did for him, nor could do in fact, such as cooking. They did not know how. He often asked me to make specific dishes for him, and was exceedingly happy when I did. He was constantly fascinated, surprised, and pleased that he finally found someone who he never knew could be what he wanted, whilst having her own professional ambitions as well. Why you ask would I do all that for a man ? Simply because I know of his professional ambitions, and his career rise has been draining him. It is my way of best supporting him, to make his life easier, so he could focus on it. He loves my cooking, mostly because no woman has ever taken care of him this way before. It was always him doing most of the work, prior. These are his words, not my own.
However, since having gotten to know me. He said I inspired him to want to be a better man, the best man he could be in terms of his success. Which meant, he now has a desire to move to a different city in about eight months time to further it. Yet, before we decided to be exclusive to one another. I kept giving him an out, told him he will be leaving soon. There would be no point to gain my trust, to invest, to work so hard on choosing one another if it would be all for not. He remained stubborn, adamant, that he will not hand in his notice for many more months still. That I may be the woman he has always been looking for, for marriage, to build a family, etc. I told him not to give me false hope, if he wishes to leave, I will support it, I never stopped a man from pursuing his dreams. I am not that type of woman.
He did everything to convince me that, he truly is looking for a reason to stay. Prior to me, he thought he would stay in this city for many more years. Now, suddenly he has decided he will be certain he will hand in his notice in four months time. However, he still tells me no action has been taken. Nothing is for certain, even though on a daily basis, he speaks as if he is leaving for sure. It hurts. When I support him, encouraging him to leave, telling him of my plans after he is gone. He is extremely hurt. So he wants me to remain attached but detached, he wants to be able to speak as if he is leaving. Yet when I support it entirely, he does not want me to speak as if I am expecting him to exit my life.
Recently, one of the women he had dated in the past, reached out to him and he wrote that he was single. He showed me all the messages, and that angered me. We agreed on what we were, we were living as a couple, we talk like a couple, he referred to himself as my SO. No, he did not reply further to those women after saying so despite their constant messages. He told me he would not and he did not. However, that was a dagger to my heart. We had an intense argument afterwards, where he tried to undo all that he ever said to me, all those promises. As if I was nothing, that I never mattered to him, that I was never a SO to him. It got so bad, he told me to give him back his keys and that I should leave. Yet in the end, I fought to stay and he, I believe wanted me to as well. As the next morning, he seemed very regretful or remorseful and was very loving, trying to gauge how hurt I was.
So which is it, is this some kind of test ?
We are building a life together, yet somehow we are not. Living the life of two people together, yet somehow I have no say because suddenly I am not a SO. One minute he is extremely loving in all his actions, then next he is distant in his words.

What the bloody hell is going on ?
i love when someone writes in paragraphs.
what the hell happened with i like you, you like me, and lets figure things as they come?
why is moving to a diff city an end for you? people do that all the time, and if there's a will, and patience people, somehow solve it.
you sound like you are not intimate at all. like you are both not saying what's on your minds. and yet there is love, some form of it.click to expand

You say you are hurt because of his decision to leave. Yet, towards him, you tell him you support him if he wants to leave. I can imagine this is confusing to him. It may even make him feel you don't care, because if you would, you would ask him not to go, right?
It seems you make a lot of assumptions instead of having an honest and open talk with him about how you really feel.
In the meantime he is changing his mind. It seems he is having doubts about you, about the relationship. Is there no way you can move together? Does him handing in his notice mean you have to be seperated?
That's a Scorpio thing tbh. We would never stop someone from leaving, especially if it's about their career. We're willing to support them from afar. Being far, doesn't mean they can't meet though.
I think they need to communicate better. To decide what they really want and need.
Perhaps, but I know long distance is something we both would not want. I have done it in the past, and it is an option he does not want to entertain. It will either be that he stays, or I move with him, or it ends by the time he leaves, if he truly does.
Hopefully, we will be able to have another discussion soon.
I really don't understand you. Why do you keep doing things according to him ? You can't sacrifice so much for a man. You're giving him the upper hand, right now. I say, be careful, or he's going to take you for granted.click to expand

why he say he is single if he's with you?
he's not single anymore. he's with u. that should be already known without words.
and why he has to encourage these women in the past that he's single? Instead of saying I'm in love /love someone else and i'm attached now?
that part i dont like that he did that ...
some of these men, ugh.
so insecure. he needs to put his foot down and want you only you.
because he has that capricorn, i can only guess he is super insecure about you, and doesn't know if you love him the same way. He needs to have one foot out the door, while having his other one INSIDE the door.
until you show you with deepest affection that he is all you need.
although i'm not sure if that's from his capricorn or pisces or even from his aquarius.
although i'm a woman, i'm pretty needy and get really sad when i dont sense the INTENSITY ...
i can see you are also frustrated at his actions.
let us know what's going on after this.
I have shown him with everything I have that I want him and nobody else. We practically live together, I help him keep his home and life tidy so he could focus all his energy on his professional career and rise. Verbally, emotionally, mentally, and physically I keep showing him that I care, @lisabethur8. This is all Stinger energy being thrown at him, how much more clear could I be ?
Precisely, he told them he was single. I told him but we are together, if I went or told another man I was single. He would have had a fit, I even told him if I were to tell another man that - how would you feel ? He went completely silent, he knows he would hate it. I told him, yes you are not replying these women after they write you and after having said you are single. Yet you are leading them on by giving them false hope by saying that, that is not right. If I spoke with other men this way, he would say I cheated (yet if we are not a couple, as he says now, it would not be considered cheating) Then he had a fit, and argument that we are in fact not together, nor are we a couple, that I misunderstood everything. All his actions told me, we are together, but his words keep changing.
He is making my heart ache.
I would have walked out if my guy were to say he is single to anyone when we are in a relationship.
You have tons of patience, js.
Precisely why I was angry, especially when we had the discussion to refer to ourselves as a couple in a relationship to those who ask us. So publicly, we are known as so. Yet, now he said we were never in a relationship, nor were we ever a couple and that is why he tells such women he is single. I was fuming, he had the audacity to call me crazy for misunderstanding, when I am certain I did not misunderstand him.
He's panicking.
I've seen this with scorp women and air sign men (mostly with my gem guy friends and an aqua guy friend).
This is how it goes from what I've seen.
Scorp women within a month gets attached or they go all in and work very hard which is a lot. Idk why but it doesn't surprise me anymore when I see scorp women do this esp with air sign men. What happens is air sign men do commit in their own way by spending time, sharing their world and also stay faithful to these ladies... but when things are "defined" as a relationshipe they panic. When things aren't defined, the guy is happy but the scorp women weren't happy and they threw tantrums and wanted to call it quits.
Imo, it works great if things were taken at a slower pace.
You know, I find this funny how you constantly speak for our sign, with so much ignorance. Scorpio don't get attached fast lmao. It takes quite an amount of time, because we don't trust others (even if we seem like we do, we don't). Even OP said she was reluctant at first and pushed him away, yet he would still fight for her. Basically, he got attached first, not her.
Nothing against you, but please, get your facts right.
Take this scenario, you know you would be right if OP hadn't moved in way too soon with the Aqua and only recently she was interested in an Aries? No disrespect to TLS. Imo, she moved in too soon and did way too much for this Aqua.
Maybe it's your Sag moon that makes you take time in a relationship but I've seen this scenario play out irl.
I didn't say she didn't, i'm just saying you tend to make some weird assumptions about us. It's not the first time I read something like that from you either. Also read better next time, because she said he kept insisting even though she wasn't 100% into it at first, since she couldn't trust him. Also he gave her the keys of his home first.
But okay, you can defend defend your element I guess.
No, it's not my Sag moon. I just know my sign. 🙄click to expand

As absurd as it may seem at first glance but I think he moves away in order to become a man that deserves you.
The "I'm single" statement isn't okay but might be driven by potential pain he felt because you were already planning your life without him.
I was not planning my life without him, prior to his single comment. It was only after the argument, that I begun to plan again. How my life will be when he is gone, that is only rational and logical. He seems hurt that I did, but he kept speaking of leaving. Always asking for my opinion and comments in regards to his decision process. He never stops asking to see what I think. Every time, he does, it feels like a deeper stab into my heart.
Yes, he does have confidence issues and insecurities. He believes I am incredibly intelligent and beautiful, that he is not all that special, nor handsome. I have tried hard to inspire him, and have. Yet, perhaps he has doubts ? I do not know.
It's possible that he is completly oblivious to that and to him it feels like you are "abandoning" him at this very first(?) test of durability. The reason he keeps talking about it might be because he wants to hear you say that you don't want him to leave. It sounds like he needs some reaffirmations until he feels worthy to be loved by you.
In his mind you might not care enough to be hurt by what he says and does until you have hammered that into his head.
Might be the classic Cap Venus thing that he has to slay a couple of dragons and accomplish things of great value before he even dares to approach his personal princess.
So then why in the heat of the argument, tell me to give him back his keys, and that I should leave. Why did he even entertain these other women, I know Water Bearer men have lots of acquaintances that do not mean much. That I understand, I have been with Water Bearer men in the past to understand this. I never kept him from his friends, or women, in general. As long as I know of his loyalty, and where he stands. I am not one to limit him.
The argument began partly because I am hurt he is leaving, he could sense I was pissed off at his constant talks of his plans, when he was going to hand in his notice etc. Yet he kept telling me he would leave but also kept saying it is not confirmed. These are only desires, and plans, until actions are taken, it is still only a possibility. Which is true, but when a man makes plan, is it not as good as done ?
He said no, because if he was offered a good enough opportunity or career path to stay, once he hands in his notice, he will take it, and stay. I was not abandoning him, is he not the one abandoning me now, in the way he constantly speaks of his plans to leave ?
I think he secretly wants to plan things together with you but might not be aware of it or very unsure about being open with it.
You are right feeling that he is abandoning you but the fact that you don't fight for this, in his eyes at least, might be interpreted as a prrof that you don't really want him or that you have no desire to run the risk of a LDR with him.
It's not rational or fair towards you but that's how emotions are unfortunately.click to expand

He just started talking more recently. Hes a very shy person
Hah @ASCoppVenus, strangely enough I express myself more so with my hands more than he does. In that sense, I am more Italian than he is. My Water Bearer, if I could call him so, is the younger brother of two siblings. However, with all that Goat in him, he has always been used to taking care of himself. For an Italian, he was already different. He chose early on, to leave his family home, to live around the world and grow his career. Though yes, like yours, he is rather shy. He told me it comes from insecurity, and a lack of confidence. Out of the two of us, I am the social one. Therefore, for networking purposes, we usually go together so I am the social lubricant for his endeavours. A skill he lacks, which I am rather good at.
Is your Water Bearer shy, due to a personality trait or for some other reason ? Is he shy in all settings ?
He’s got social anxiety and is an introvert. I tested him once by introducing him to a random stranger in the gym who started talking to me, and the look on his face was very surprising and unbearable. I wouldnt do that to him again. He look freaked out about it. I am an introvert too so most days i understand him and his need for just one on one interaction.click to expand

"and pleased that he finally found someone who he never knew could be what he wanted, whilst having her own professional ambitions as well"
Beware of manipulation maneuvers where you are felt valuable for making decisions that don't belong to you, expect selflessness from him as well, not appreciation for your sacrifices. Boundaries are necessary in life.
I would not advise any game or change of route more than your reflection over how your needs are being met in this relationship and his effort in fulfilling them in general.
I could feel appreciation but I do not sense selflessness on his part, to be honest. Which is why, I am now pulling back on my selflessness, because you could only give so much before you realise, maybe this is not a balanced enough exchange. Lots of reflection needed, of course, and hopefully an honest conversation with him some time soon. He has been a bit distant in communication lately.
Same here, time to step back and evaluate my relationship. Why do we as women mold and give, only to not expect just as much in return? I'm much stronger and smarter than this, but love screws my head up...
Love, a feeling we cannot control. The heart wants what the heart wants. However, at the end of the day Love is a choice, we could only hope others will make the same choices we do.
You are still with your Stinger Gent ?
Truer words have never been said. And that is the hardest part about relationships, to ensure that they aren't one-sided or lopsided.
I am, but last weekend he casually dropped into conversation that in a little over two years from now his plan is to move out of NY. Last night he told me he wants to leave his dog with me when he moves. So my dilemma is do I enjoy the next two years with him, or disengage myself now so I don't invest more time and feelings into something that will inevitably end? Rather torn up over this today, throwing myself into work to avoid thinking/feeling....click to expand

@TheLadyScorpio
That is typical Aquarius men. They don’t share so obviously he felt like you were important enough to ask for exclusivity.
But things have changed. He now wants to move away and he says that you two are not a couple. He is going backwards now.
Maybe he didn’t feel that you loved him enough or something else but right now I think he is not committed to you anymore. But at the same time he really cares for you and doesn’t want to hurt you.
He wanted to move away prior to even being exclusive, it was the very reason why I told him it may not be a wise idea for us to be together. It was why I did not trust him and was dragging my feet. He fought tooth and nail to prove to me that he was serious. Yet, he fought, saying, nothing is confirmed yet, that he wants a reason to stay. Not until, he has handed in his notice, booked his flight ticket etc. Even during, and after the argument he said the same, that everything may change. Yes, he wants to leave, but if given the opportunity for something good in this city, he will stay.
I no longer know, maybe I will try to speak with him again soon to see where his head is at.click to expand

Beware of manipulation maneuvers where you are felt valuable for making decisions that don't belong to you, expect selflessness from him as well, not appreciation for your sacrifices. Boundaries are necessary in life.
I would not advise any game or change of route more than your reflection over how your needs are being met in this relationship and his effort in fulfilling them in general.
I could feel appreciation but I do not sense selflessness on his part, to be honest.

He didn’t ask you to go with him? Your decision should be pretty easy if he didn’t.click to expand

I see two options:
He’s sabotaging the relationship because he’s scared.
After chasing, chasing and chasing he’s now bored.

Lady, i see a pattern of you attracting fearful, introvert tyoes of men....it seems to keep happening? I attracted emotionally detached men, until I decided not to...they committed to me, but stood apart somewhat.click to expand

Initially @bkbella86, he did for a very long time but I was not sure whether or not to take him seriously. As when he did so, we were not yet exclusive or monogamous. He also has a track record of sometimes saying one thing, but actually meaning something else and whilst digging for an answer from me.click to expand

Yes Stars, I attract them and I noticed that pattern. Did quite a fair amount of self reflection to see, if it was something I had purposely done in which I attract them, but found nothing. You had your own experiences with Water Bearer and Ram men as well, were they as committed but not committed as well ?click to expand

but scorpio energy is like that though.....they take hold of u, do a series of subconscious "tests" and go through a bit of hell, testing and testing, because of the deep trust thing, but in their heart they had chosen you -- i mean it's the connection. But after that initial connection, u want to know if the love you will endure is going to be worth the suffering. lol
then after you think everything is OK, after diving deep into the waters, you let go... just enough to give independence, but remain very possessive. It's a very tricky feat. lol
also i didnt know u and starshine have similar problems, attracting Aquarius and Aries men lol
it works in many cases but in some, i've seen not so good...
this maybe one of those of the latter.
there's way too many mind games between you both. Him especially telling you about his contact with the ex, and saying he's single. Firstly why is he even talking to the ex? lol
theres no reason to keep them around...... what's done is done. if they want friendship with other people, there's work relationships for that LOL acquaintances and talking to other people from time to time in big family events.
It's a lonely world for an Air /Fire sign LOL when you are with a Watery/Water sun ;p because existence only exists between u and him. ;p
the guy has to have Capricorn/Cancer to endure that 😄
Saturn is already a lonely energy. Too many restrictions but it comes natural. Moon energy too, but because they love the ones they love and dont want to lose them.click to expand
