I am dating a Libra. It is long distance, which I typically don't do, but he prodded me into it. (charm)
I have a very busy work schedule, and I'm also working on completing an advanced degree. There are times I simply cannot or to be perfectly honest I choose not to be in contact with him because I'm working on something.
He goes nutzo. And instead of communicating to be "hey, i really want/need to talk to you" he writes (and i'm paraphrasing here) "i know you see my fb messages, and you're ignoring me so why don't we go back to being friends."
His facebook message before that read, Hey if you're not busy contact me."
Well, i was busy so i was not going to contact him until I feel ready.
My point is are Libras prone to drama and theatrics like this -like regularly??!
I told him I'm sorry for not letting him know I was working on a deadline to get a paper in, but jumping to whatever conclusion he has isn't cool. It's the second time, he's issued the "breakup" ultimatum in as many months, and honestly, i don't like be held emotionally hostage like this.
I'm trying to assuage his fears and soothe him, but I feel my emotions starting to change because of his insecurity/jealousy. I like him alot, but I'm not going to be walking on eggshell while I live my life! He was cheated on before, so he has that wound to contend with. Personally, I never issue an ultimatum unless i'm prepared for things not to go my way. So I rarely do. I try to talk it out at least first.
/vent sorry. Any advice? I care enough to want this to work and i plan on telling him how I feel shortly. If he answers his phone now!
Facebook screwed over everyone with that feature. I read my messages all the time, forget to reply and people find me dismissing of them.
I don't see drama or theatrics, he seems excited about getting to talk with you. Long distance brings a lot of insecurity in people, hence his ultimatums. Not saying he's right but long distance has a way of warping people's reactions and attitude.

ultimatiums are stupid. That being said... I could have sworn I read the exact same thing but from a libra mans point of view on here recently.... hmmm
Dude, it's long distance. It's destined to NOT work!! How is it supposed to if you're never actually together?!
