I was on and off again for a year with a very close Capricorn friend of mine. We have liked each other for several years but were never able to pursue anything until recently. Both getting out of bad relationships, we wanted to take things slow. Never the kind to open up, he surprised me one day with sharing his deep feelings for me, but only after several months of playing games. He would be distant at times, ignore messages, break plans, always had to be right and in control of every situation, it hurt everytime. I would end things only to have him wanting to pick things up again days or weeks later. I accepted everytime, I was weak for him. He opened up recently and said he hated himself for hurting me and he thinks he's "emotionally crippled"; that he doesn't know how to let someone care for him. He said he couldn't talk about it anymore and now he's ignoring me again. Is this normal behavior for Capricorn men? Is this a game or tactic to keep me interested, or does he really care about me but doesn't know how to express it?
