truecap, I doubt that I can. I'm a good friend to him, but it's obvious for me that even this stays a friendship, and doesn't go back to how it was, it'll be over at some point. Especially if he keeps behaving the way he does, cos now he isn't even really friendly most of the time. I just think after he gets help and starts trying to make his life better, he might be open for a relationship as well.. I hope, which is why I wondered if Aquarius man can do that, "leave" and come back.. But until then, I'll be his friend and help him, or at least try.
Hi everyone,
I need assistance with an Aquarius man. We've been talking for months and he was always flirty with me, chasing me. We got close, as friends, and eventually started some sort of relationship, with intimacy, long chats, we just got closer I guess but it was sexual too, it was great. He used to be quite a player and he completely stopped with that since he knew it hurt me (even though we never talked about being exclusive). Sometimes however, he got a bit moody, distant. It's probably because he's bipolar. And while at times he'd talk about it, sometimes he'd just go quiet. So out of frustration, I said I'm not sure I can continue doing this because I really love him, and he said to me he loves me too and has been wanting to say it for a long time, but it is best that we just stay friends.
I was hurt by that, and avoided him for a few days, he contacted me saying he misses me, and why can't we be just friends... eventually I gave in, and we stayed in touch, 'as friends'. Yet we continued telling each other almost daily that we love each other (and back then he assured me his love for me was romantic). We even continued getting sexual and intimate.
At some point though, 2-3 weeks later, he began being extremely distant. Like, he'd still talk to me (we talk almost daily, he initiates 90% of the time) but wouldn't cooperate. Wouldn't ask questions, and gives one word answers... I felt how he changed with me, and one night during a discussion that got heated up a little he pretty much said (after I asked, he didn't randomly say it), that he doesn't think about me romantically at all anymore. And all the recent sexual things were because 'I wanted them' (not him). I took some distance from him again but eventually, we got back to chatting. Yet he's still distant, however if I say I love him, when he knows that's how I feel so there's nothing shocking about it, he still tells me he loves me too, I guess these are just words to him now but I'm unsure why he keeps saying it if he doesn't feel it anymore...
I do wonder, I do still love him. I care about him deeply even though he's not as close with me now. I know the reasons why he wanted to be friends and not romantically involved anymore, according to him, because he's lost right now in life and only focuses on the now rather than his future. He's also very lonely and I know for a fact I'm the closest person he has. But I know I made him happier when we were a couple, and he made me happier.
