Any Taurus Women out there ever date a Capricorn man?

Are there any Taurus women out there who have dated a Capricorn man? I would be interested in hearing your take on a recent break up I had with my Cap man. Does this sound like a story you have lived yourself? We had been in a relationship for over a year. He is very needy and got used to me sending text messages throughout the day each day. He is a very moody person and this past month, he had accused me many times of talking to other men and would get upset if I was busy and didn't respond to one of his messages quickly. (I am actually very loyal and never even looked at another guy) He would check for my messages and get infuriated when I hadn't sent a message or respond within an hour. Last week I had the busiest and crappiest week at work. I tried to explain that to him but he insisted that I was giving my attention to someone else. He is currently unemployed, but I am much busier at work than usual. I went hours without responding and then when he got shitty with me, I ignored him because I couldn't deal with the immaturity at the moment. The fighting about the messages went on and on so on Tuesday and Wednesday, I made sure he received messages from me almost hourly. (It was an annoying pain in the ass to be honest.) On Wednesday, I wrote that I didn't want to fight anymore. That the fighting was getting out of control and I just want our time together to be peaceful. We had plans to get together Thursday night but just before, he sent me a message telling me that I am too good for him, that he loves me more than any other woman, that he never thought he would date a woman as beautiful as I am and then the message spun out of control. He started ranting that I was obviously talking to someone else and that he was done and that he wanted nothing to do with me. I tried to call him, message him and plead with him to let me explain and that he was making assumptions that weren't true. He eventually responded with a message 3 days later that he did not want to go back and forth about it and that he is not going to change his mind. Ok then. I tried, right? The whole relationship was like trying to steady a ship in the storm. He was so insecure with no reason to be - I loved every minute with him and the sex was always over the top good. The problems would arise when we weren't together and he would get moody. He would do these passive aggressive things, like not get me a Christmas gift after I gave him his, to hurt me. Not wear what I bought him and didn't even say thank you. I would ignore it but when I would eventually start pulling away out of frustration with some of his antics, or when I would be on the brink of walking away, suddenly his softer more romantic side would appear and he would be doing thoughtful things and giving small gifts. When it was good, it was really good. When it wasn't, it was beyond frustrating. I am really sad that it ended this way. I would have preferred something more amicable, as we really shared some special moments and got close. Anyone have anything to share?

tell him to find a job
Please.


I was without a job when I dealt with a Taurus and talk about insecure on my end. It gives us opportunity to think TOO much, then on top of overanalyzing everything we are down about not working which is really the reason we are overanalyzing everything.


He needs a job. I wouldn't worry about him UNTIL he gets one. Allow him to get himself together and he may reappear a bit friendlier in the future.





Do you think he is cheating???


Sounds unstable
I recently dealt with a Capricorn for the very first time. We dated for a little while and this Sunday he called the whole thing off. From my point of view it came out of nowhere.


From what I learned about the Capricorn guy I dealt with is:


(mind you this one was younger than me with 3 years - this December he'll be 30 years old)


- extremely controlling - and this is the first time I intersected with such an issue in guys. I didn't like it ONE BIT as I'm an Taurus cusper (April 22) and I'm a pretty much independent free spirited individual

- slight tendencies of manipulation/emotional intimidation

- needy

- too protective

- constantly projecting all sorts of fears he only experienced and were in his head - and man, I hate ppl who have fear issues. I mean I'm not a Superman, but all my life I had to unlearn all the RIDICULOUS fears my Sagittarius mom projected on me and don't need some crazy dude to baby him out of his fear city

- insecure

- always wanting to lead and be "the man" in a relationship - whereas I have equal rights visions and I have a problem with guys that get sensitive if I'm not a weak personality...

- emotionally immature

- playing mind games - which I told him even from the very beginning that I don't play mind games - we Taurus ppl are VERY boring. what you see/hear is what you get and what it is; or at least that's how i am

- and I bet he hated I wasn't very communicative (I have Capricorn moon which is something I struggled all my life with because we're not very emotionally expressive people)


The other night I checked different moons for Capricorn men (https://www.dxpnet.com/opinion/capricorn/gentlemen-capricorn-sun-moon-combos-3799267/) to be able to intercept what made him such a hard to deal with type of guy. Personally I suspect a Scorpio moon or a Libra moon for him, but I'm not an expert.


Ah. And he had an army of fangirls and needed constant stroking on fb. He LOVED the attention. When we started dating I was actually convinced that the only reason he was pursuing me was in order for him stroke his own ego. Lame.

You can find out his moon by putting it in the astrotheme calculator. Just put in his birthday plus city & state

You need the year, but you can find that via age smile

He had a Pisces moon apparently. That was actually my very first personal thought but when I read https://www.dxpnet.com/opinion/capricorn/gentlemen-capricorn-sun-moon-combos-3799267/ I couldn't recognize much of his traits he has shown me there. I was most definitely sure he had to have something Water because compared to me I felt him from the very beginning that he was much more emotional than me so it was blatantly for me that he had to be something water.


Thanks again for the tip, Shadowcat! Winking
Thank you Meredith. I just thought it would make me feel better to know other people have had a similar experience, and reading your post helped. smile

LOL! I love it! So the Cap I was seeing was the exact same with me,,,,or attempted to be. Little Taurus came along and I was only happy to see someone else take the brink of his disturbed attitude and ways, IMO I learned that with this type you are better off getting only what you want/need from them and not expect anything relationship wise-stability, communication etc etc. Sounds EXACTLY like the one I was dealing with. And yes obv, he was cheating, with me/her/others. This character is typical of a cheater smile May I ask how old you are?
Caps enjoy work. The fact that he's not working means he's feeling off-kilter. When he starts working again, it will get better.
as a CAP.. he probably feels depressed because of the whole job thing... we feel like we need a goal in our lives... it is a good thing you let him go though.. i can be controlling also... it is very hard to change something like that.. trust me
May I ask how old you are?


I am in my mid forties. He is 33.

He may get better, but I am moving on. He was just too much work. There were so many times that things were really good but I got sick of being accused of cheating when he was having a mood swing. Constant insecurity is a turn off. I think he assumed I was like him (untrustworthy) and I assumed he was like me (content and not looking for a side dish). In any event, he pretty much refused to meet to talk after he accused me of giving all my attention to someone else (some mystery person I guess) and said that he wasn't going to to the back and forth thing, it was over. For the last 6 months we were so serious that we would tell each other that we loved each other. And then it's like that? I think I'll jump off this roller coaster now...


I just wanted to know if this was typical Cap behavior.
