wtf... why cant caps and scorp in love just all get along.
*runs away crying*
*yells from a distance*
FREAKING EGOS!!!

No, our ego is much bigger and that tends to be the problem.
Reread what you just wrote.
Things aren't going on your terms and that makes you very uncomfortable. Cap's have an abundance of self-control and right now, he's most certainly testing to see how yours measures up....and you are failing miserably.

Idk. I think she is doing the right thing and if she can walk away now then she should do it before it gets to a point where she feel she cant.

I don't even think you realize how you are coming off.
do you have your charts?

If he hasn't stalked you and professed his undying love for you yet, he's still hung up on his ex...Cappies have that one love, they never let go of. They may seem like, they've moved on, but if she comes back in the picture, he will go to her, no matter how long you been together.

Not like, "where were you on the night of?"
Unsuspecting questions, find out if theres someone still swimming around in his head.

Hmm, I actually think this is good advice. There really is usually one major regret. My Cap friend recently married and I know of his past regret. Of course he wouldnt leave his wife for her, but if she came back into the picture even a day before the wedding he'd be torn.click to expand

why are you in such a rush?
Posted by ellessque
they've only been dating for 7 months.
sweets, you should go check out the cap board. there are a few cap men over there that can give you some really great advice.
you can't assume he's hung up on the ex. if he is hung up on an ex, he WILL tell you. you just have to be listening.
if you don't want to be yourself so you don't get hurt.....it doesn't matter what sign you've been dating, the end result will always be you overanalyzing every single action of his in your mind 24/7.
Posted by ellessque
whatever.
if you do go on the cap board, use paragraph breaks. they don't have as much patience as I do.

you know, there are three reasons you are trying to troll this thread and it has nothing to do with the topic.
1. I'm here
2. It's on the relationship board (you wouldn't get away with it on the cap board)
3. She's new and doesn't know you
I'm not going to help you.
I'm out.
Good luck, Scorpio! (I'm not being sarcastic)

Okay, why did you make that comment about his mom abusing him? Context would be helpful. What was said prior to that? How did you say it? What was your tone of voice like? That's a sensitive subject...

Did you know she was dying when you had that argument?

Alright. It's time to walk away, ScorpioEV86. This isn't healthy. You don't seem right at all for each other. Even when drunk, the two of you somehow can't manage each other. You sure as hell aren't gonna do it sober.
On the one hand, you're enabling his behaviour by allowing it to continue (no doubt you're getting a self-esteem/"I feel needed" payoff), and he has deep-seated issues of his own (abusive mother, apparently, that he hasn't come to terms with, control issues with you, etc.) You did him a favour by pissing him off that night (or by putting him in a situation which allowed him to feign it and act the victim as a pretext for getting out), and he did *you* a favour by leaving.
If what you said is true, then let him deal with his mother's impending death in his own way - that is, *without* treating yo-yo-ing back and forth from you. In fact, a lot of what you're seeing might be connected to the grieving process that he's already begun, and likely struggling with. He is in anything but the frame of mind to give you what you think you need, and you're in no position to get sucked into his really imprudent way of expressing need and getting help. You're simply not equipped to handle it.
if you don't distance yourself *now*, you'll be on here regularly with newer versions of the same story.

Its quite simple but complicated at the same time. If you like him enough and u don't want to play games - call him and tell him u wanted to meet and have a little chat
If you think there is no future with this guy and your gut tells you he is off - move on and start meeting other guys...
Now u prob think it is more complicated than that, but trust me it isn't lol, relationships can be so simple as long as two people are on the SAME PAGE!

Thats definitely a possiblity as we can't exclude anything, but from what I do know, Capricorns are very slow critters.
He never told me that he loved me, but he told me he had feelings for me and that he cared about me..... Idk if thats enough for him a Capricorn!
I was engaged to one for a long time...believe me, when they're hot on your tail, all the bells and whistles come out...start asking questions...click to expand

"I think SERAPH is correct in what he is saying, but when you heart is involved its difficult to walk away. :/"
I agree, it is, but if he is not willing to work on it, he is making it easier for you to walk away isn't he?

At some point you're going to have to choose between the cap or your ego. You insulted his mother and now you're upset that he's not accepting your apology. An apology is not a genuine apology after all when you are expecting a reaction from it. Either you are sincerely sorry or you're not. His silent treatment is not anymore ridiculous than you telling him to lose your number. Be careful what you ask for with a Capricorn because you just might get it. So before you say something like that, make sure you mean it.
I'm a Scorpio too, so I understand the Scorpio pride and the opinionated, outspoken nature. I've had to learn the hard way that we were given two ears to listen and only one mouth to talk because we need to listen more than we speak. He needs you to be his sounding board.. He can vent about how terrible his mother is all day, but that's not your place to pass judgment on her, just be there for him. At one point early on when I first met my cap, I had to learn tht the hard way after making a comment about his brother who stole from him. Don't remember how he reacted but he had a subtle way of letting me know I had overstepped a boundary and I never forgot that. Caps are as fiercely protective of their family as we are, so jus try to respect and understand that in the future.
I think he will be back but I hope you will not continue to let your pride and ego get in the way and let your apologies be heartfelt. Apologies are to be given without the need to control how they'll be received. All you can do is give him space and time to process his feelings. That IS his right.
I struggled with the same power trips in the beginning with my cap, I did a lot of pushing and pulling but it was not until I allowed myself to be vulnerable to the man tht I love, that I was able to experience the most fulfilling love of my life. A Scorp and a cap both have their defenses up.. He will let his down only and not before you let yours down.
You say you don't have a problem with ego but a few posts later say something about "not wanting to appear desperate". That's ego. Love and ego cannot coexist, you'll have to sacrifice one for the ego. And if you DO make a fool of yourself and appear desperate, that's a gamble you can take, because you'll bounce back and get over it like u have in the past.

I know I was wrong in how I said it, but I also know that I should be able to have my own opinion....
The only way I can fix it is by giving him space, I THINK??? :/
Thats pretty much what I have been doing, but I feel hopeless so i'm sure it will be a long time before I hear from him again.
You can have your own opinion without voicing it. My mom was an addict who did some not so great things and I've vented to my friends many times, but would probably lose my mind if any of them said something negative about her, especially if I didn't ask for their opinion.click to expand

This thread reminds me of another time I put my foot in my mouth with my cap in our first year. LMAO I will never forget ellesque had to talk me down. I was watching Oprah and it was about men on the down low and this woman on there was given aids by her husband and he was pumpin men on the side. My random ass mars in Sagittarius can be messy, let me tell you.. Because I sent my cap a text basically saying something about if he was on the downlow or attracted to men to let me know. I don't remember exactly what I said because this was years ago, ad I said it jokingly, but then he didn't respond! So my paranoid ass start texting ellesque, flipping out because I thought for sure since he wasn't responding to my text, he MUST be gay. LMFAO Elle talked me off the cliff that day. Good times!! My poor cap, god bless his heart.
As scorpios we really can't stand to be ignored lol but once we get out of our own way is when we can have healthy, normal relationships. But it starts with us. And maybe a few mistakes lol
Posted by QUlETstorm
Deegee you don't know too many capricorns do you? Lol
Slow & steady is the name of the game with a Capricorn. And this cap has made it clear from the beginning (showing up at her job to apologize, the declarations of his feelings for her) that he's into her. But even the cap who is most into a girl can still have periods of doubt within the first year or so of dating.
There's a HUGE difference between a cap who has withdrawn to take time to recharge and a cap who was never vested to begin with. Huge.

I'm not sugar coating anything, in fact I was pretty honest with her in calling her out on her flaws. I'm not here to talk her OUT of wanting the cap back though, nor am I telling her to wait. It is her who said she misses him like crazy. It's not like she's saying "I'm done, I'm over it" and then here i come like "no honey, just WAIT for him". Not exactly how it went down, but nice spin on it.
I don't give a shit less whether she waits or doesn't wait. If she wants to leave him alone I wouldn't talk her out of it but for her to expect him to open up immediately to her after she insulted his mother is selfish. That's all I was really saying, in addition to giving her some advice on how to maintain a healthy relationship in the future with him IF she wants that.

In my opinion Quietstorm kinda sugar coated the whole situation for u. Its like she told u what you really wanna hear just because u want this guy. It is always easier to tell someone "yeah don't worry, he likes u a lot but he is just a bit busy now, and that's why he is ignoring you, but he will come back, just wait FOREVER". U gotta think what is best for u! Even if you like this guy, think with your head a little bit... try to imagine how this guy will be in the future. What does you gut tell u when you think about that? Do u feel his attitude and behavior is odd and could u deal with this on the long run? I did this in the past and it helped me a lot when I had to make a hard decision. Our judgment is often clouded by infatuation and the unknown chemistry we share with someone and it is very heard to let go of that adrenaline, but reason is what puts us above it all!

I just wanted to add something here that's been sort of glossed over. His mother is DYING. He is starting to grieve and preparing for her death. Realize, that this might not even be about you at all. The death of a parent is DEVASTATING and throw in the abuse factor, well.. it makes it even more difficult to come to terms with. There is a long road ahead for him.
He's got a lot to think about.

really QS? you still mad? keep hanging on to that...
OP... I am not the only one who has pointed out that you are being selfish... Even QS said that but she also "doesn't like the way I talk to her" so she's going to try a weak ass sting and rally a fan at the same time.
I think you should try to be a bit more empathic toward your bfs situation and realize that him ignoring you may be him needing to sort his life out. I've seen a lot of people face death and impending death and each case is heart wrenching. Everyone handles it different but there is so much guilt and confusion involved... lots of suffering that is very hard to express.
You have left him phone messages and texts and have mentioned that you will "move on" if he doesn't get back to you soon. Maybe try to put yourself in his shoes.
No matter how you want to justify it... your actions come off as selfish. I just call it like I see it.
