So who would have thought that I had been dealing with a Cap for the past few years AND NEVER KNEW IT!
I'm sure some of you know about my crazy Scorpio ex and our Aries son (the light of my life) my ex has an older brother who out of the blue last year started spending LOTS of time with my son and my ex didnt even know even though they lived together. I often wondered how it made him feel to come home and his Brother had HIS son.
So anyway I just assumed he was a Cancer, because he loved kids was very family oriented and just so opposite of the typical Cap. So this weekend I had a party for my little boy and I was on the phone with my ex's brother and asked when his birthday was assuming that if he was a cancer it would be coming up this summer...so he's like it already passed and I'm like really when was it and he says Jan 8th....I was totally floored!!!! Man, I could write so much about this its crazy...but anyhoo the only thing that made me see the Cap was the fact that he works like CRAZY, but check this out, he spends most to all of his free weekends with my son......Oh and another thing that made me think he was a cancer is because he's had a lot of girlfriends over the years and it always seemed like he was looking for something, and I always assumed that Caps were afraid of love...
So my question is...could he like me and be using my son as a way to get to know me and see what kind of mother I am. He's been to my home several times and was floored at how big it is and asked me why I got such a big house when its just me and my son, I just smiled and shrugged but the reason I did it is because I'm all into family and being domestic and the more room the better so he knows how I keep house. I just can figure out his motives....at first it was all about my son and now he's so attentive to me and always tells me to let him know if I need anything and he's so darn disarming! I can feel my wall melt. I dont even know if I like him really, I just cant figure out where he's coming from...is it normal for an uncle to spend more time with is nephew than is father?
Branh you have to read the rest.........what is it about me that always makes you jump to conclusions?
Yeah Branh I know all that. And you're right to some extent. I've only dealt with one other Cap....and I've read a lot about them on this board....and I swear he's totally different from all these guys......I'm just blown that he's a Cap seriously....totally blown away!
And, he's such the opposite of everything I've read about Caps....like I cant even research Capricorn it doesn do him any justice..........plus I could have sworn his mom told me he was a cancer years ago......and he fits the description of a cancer perfectly.
what does "markers" and "ups" mean?

OOOOHHHHHHHHHH S--T A CLOSET CAP!
LOL, I dont think he's a closet Cap he's just so unlike the norm. He does have a few Cap like traits but for the most part he just seems more like a water sign. But he's been through a lot so maybe like Branh said he is more evolved.

fb I think u & Branh r right, my cap is more evolved and he cares a lot about his family, sometimes he still lets himself get busy and doesn't follow through on his desires, but he is determined and gets it done in the end, it just might take longer than say a cancer would to show his family just how much he cares.
He does care about his family but its only to a certain extent. He provides for them when he can and he spends a lot of time with them. One thing I admire about him is his ability to seperate his personal relationships from his family. He'll date a girl no one approves of and it wont bother him, and I like that. Unlike his brother who is such a momma's boy. I kind of get the feeling that he deeply believes in love and his own personal happiness comes first and to hell with everyone else..........which is very refreshing. And I dont get the impression that most Caps would do that. I just cant imagine a Capricorn sacrificing anything for love, especially if it doesnt fit in the neat little box they create for themselves.

That is really refreshing no matter the sign or gender, but I would be concerned about his working the angle with your son. Would it be strange for your son if you did fall for him? Maybe that's why you aren't sure you have those feelings for him. I would also be concerned if he is getting that close to your son how it will make your son feel if that closeness ends because things get strange between you and his uncle.
Maybe you could have a talk with him and ask him straight out and express concern about him using your son.
I hope he is just sincerely a nice guy that just had a healthy respect for you and I committed closeness with your son.
Good luck,
I know. I often wonder what his motives are because there has to be. I mean how many uncles do you know practically take on the role of father? He loves my son like he was his. I dont think he uses him to get close to me, I feel like he's always had something for me deep down inside but just kept it hidden since I was in a relationship with his brother, and the minute he saw an opportunity he took it. Its just that lately he's been very attentive to my needs. Before he would say I'll call you next week to get him and now its call me if you need anything. He tells me his work schedule (which is insane, he works so much)and before he left the party on Saturday he did something that threw me for a loop. I was standing by my car and he came over and grabed my shoulders tightly, not to hurt me and he leaned in close to my face and said "You know I would stay but I have to go to work" and he repeated it twice until I said "I know" and he kind of shook me as he said it and for a split second I thought he was going to lean in and hug me because I thought thats what he wanted to do, and I almost hugged him but too many people were around. He did mention having a girlfriend once but I havent heard anything about it sense. And thats another issue, how would another female feel knowing that her man spends most to all of his free weekends with his nephew?
