self worthlessness and fugly
My father was a Leo and I married a Leo. I used to look at my dad as he was being horrible unkind to my mother or beating me unmercifully through his rage and think that he was so weak for not having the capacity to express himself better. I thought those were just the thoughts of a child who required a much tender approach to her missteps. As an adult I became a clinical psychologist and my adult opinion is that there is a huge weakness in a human being that requires that degree of attention from another person to be fulfilled.
You all continue to describe it as ego, pride and a whole lot of other words that are inaccurate. They are weak and insecure. Lying under the charm, leadership capabilities and care for children, exist the inability to maintain a solid lasting relationship with women. My father's last words to me were he wished someone would have helped him fix his issues. That was an impossible task in the 40's & 50's when he and my mother married. I was the only of my sibling who stood up to him and subsequently would be the only one of his children around to care for him while he was dying. He was the same angry mean man he was in his youth. Afraid of his inabilities with a great need to be accepted.
Among the women that my ex had in his life prior to me, he would give me the the title of the woman that broke the beast. My goal as his wife was not to break him but, he was suppose to never forget that his disrespectfully behavior, temper, and secret need to be comforted by other women would leave a lasting hole in his soul. While he could be quite dramatic. This time the curtain closed on him. Don't let the weaknesses of the Leo break you. They are breakable.
Interesting.
The girl that I know has some problems too.
