Capricorn man Libra woman

I'm a Libra woman, married to a Capricorn man.

I have read your articles with interest, which say this match is a disaster waiting to happen.  We have been married for 8 years and I can say this much, it isn't easy going.  I love him more than anything, but we certainly are incompatible.

Our interests are rarely the same.  He is happy with electronics and television, while I am an arts and book kind of person.  Probably the only thing we really agree on is that we both love music, but even the variety of music often varies greatly.  

We did indeed struggle for the first few years, both of us were unhappy.  It took us probably 5 or 6 years to really fall into a pattern where we can both be happy pursuing our interests and we are no longer afraid we will grow apart.  

It has in fact made us grow closer by spending more time apart.  Arguments however are another matter entirely.  I am a woman with a temper, and he is a man with an ego.  He often times doesn't know when enough is enough and I have to get really ticked off and to the boiling point for him to finally get the point.

He almost always takes a few days to apologize simply because of the ego I guess.  I rarely tick him off, I am a pretty sensitive person and can't stand for people to be mad at me so in the past 8 years there may have literally been 3 times he was mad at me.  He has matured in the past few years and that makes things a little easier.  He tends to be a big kid and while that is okay in certain instances, there comes a time when you have to an adult and take care of your responsibilities.  

Sex is normal, nothing out of this world, but not terrible.  He is often more shy in the bedroom where as I am more take charge and like things a little rougher.  It took us a few years to adjust but we did.  I would overall have to agree that a relationship with these two signs is often exhausting and sometimes we wanted to give up, but if you are dedicated and determined to make it work, you can.  Each person just has to compromise enough to meet in the middle etc.

I'm mainly posting to say thank you for telling it like it is. I'm tired of people who say every relationship will be beautiful and easy. Accepting the challenges is the first step to making a marriage work. It doesnt just happen on its own and expecting everything to magically fall into place is what makes many couples give up too easily.

I am a Libra woman and date a Capricorn male.  It is a very roller coaster like relationship.  It is fun because he is always challenging what I do and why.  When we come together on an idea the goal is usually met and met better than we thought it would be.

We get along because both he and I are very quiet people. He likes to play video games and I like to read and we respect each others need and time for those things.  

Sex is great because it is always unexpected. It has happened in places I would not even do it in if I wasn’t riled up.  It’s always a lot of teasing before hand, which makes it more exciting and explosive.  

Overall he is a good guy.  Yes, there have been rough spots where he has done some things that were inappropriate, but I believe in giving people a second chance.  I’d recommend him because he always is willing to lend a hand to help out a person, whether he knows them or not.

Its nice to see a man help an old lady get something off a shelf because she can’t reach. It’s just too sweet. He’s a neat freak and I am not. I like my clutter and he just doesn’t understand that. But that is about as bad as he gets and he is one in a million.

I dated a two capricorn men. One was born in January and the other was born Dec. 22, on the cusp. My January capricorn was the one who I met in my early twenties. He was a musician and a very good one. He had a day job in the aerospace industry and ran a band in the evenings and weekends. We got along great and the sex was wonderful. He was social (contrary to the homebody reputation). I was invited to many of his gigs. We attended concerts together. Music and art was what we had in common. We also both loved football and basketball and attended season games. Our relationship probably would have turned to marriage, however, he developed a rare form of cancer and passed away. I was with him until he died. It was an easy and loving relationship.

I later on met and dated a December capricon. Started off great but the man turned cold on me. Lack of communication. Rude and mean. Obsessed with video games. A grown man playing video games for hours at a time. Insane. I was many times put on the back burner so he could finish a level in one of his video games. This was a 35 year old man which made it worse. Between his obsession with video game playing and his very dry personality, I ran for the hills. Not a good match for a libra girl. Too many differences in temperament.

I am a libra woman dating a capricorn man. This relationship is like no other. I am a fun person and he is too but i am more out going than he is so that kind of a problem. He goes o ut more than i do, always at the club with his friends. Matter of fact he is always this his friends and when he is not with his friends he is on the feild doing what he do best. He is so caught up in his soccer sometimes i think he forget about. Like if i dont call him he wont call until couple days after witht the i am so sorry and his list of what he had acomplished. For the first couple months we spend hours talking about soccer, i swear if iw as a soccer ball he would married me. I have to demand my time with him most of the time, but when i do get some us time its a beauty.

I feel like i am riding a roller coster dating this capri, but there is just something about him that keeps me wanting him. Our sex is not the greatest but it works. We both busy well mainly him so we dont have sex that much which is fine with me. The only thing i dont like about him is that he doesnt express his self to me, but i think that comes with time. I have my way of knowing how he's feeling baout something. Basically i have to test him to get what i want. I like the fact the he is very determine but sometimes he doesnt realize that i am human and a libra female too so i need that attention from him. Its hard not to linger but i am trying my hardest not to. And another thing, hes doesnt take the time out to know me more as a person, i wish he did cause if he did there would be not arugments most of the time and i wouldnt have to think hes cheating or even think about cheating myself. Its a challenge dating him but he is worth it. I am working us working as a team but a t the same time i support him in whatever hes doing and stay focus on my goals as well. This is the ruffest but most loving realtionship i ever been in, its crazy and nerve rocking.

i just started dating a capricorn man. iam a libra. yes they hard working and would work over time for fun. sometimes rather stay in doors than go out. And a little off in bed meaning they do things backwards. but we have possionate sex. i can work with him as long as he dont cheat. i wanna bulid a friend ship as well as a romantic one.

"a little off in bed meaning they do things backwards"

Okay, I gotta ask. What exactly does that mean? I've been pondering it for about 5 minutes and... lol

I'm wondering too. How do you have sex backwards? Orgasm first and then foreplay? If it's anything kinky, I'd rather not know.

Appreciate the posts. Some have me laughing because YES, backwards!!! Initiating sex with my cap is sooooooo slow but then WHOA! Huh? I am a 5'11" Libra. Divorced. Dated all Virgos, married a Gemini. My best friend is a Cap. So is my sister. I adore their wisdom and pragmatic approach to life. Lovers have always seen me as a challenge, a little detached and whatever...I have alot of male friends, whom I adore. I don't get any of it.

He wooed me out of a 4 yr celibacy and then.. I don't know...settled in? It's has become weird. He loves that I am (his words) "self aware, sincere, selfless, loyal, smart and steady". But something changed. He "loves me". Okay.....neither of us wants to marry again, we have responsibilities that preclude this, and it is a long distance relationship. He is just so odd sometimes. Even for me. And I write for a living and need alot of alone time for work.

Capricorn men are liars cheats and only have feeling for themselves and people love them coz there so wonderful until they get behind close doors and you see their other side which is very possessive, caps can be mind abusive to they are manipulative and once riled up can be very vindictive they can be quite boring preferring to sit in front of the tv for hours, where libs are up for spontaneity . on the other side very hard workers intelligent and most will move mountains for you and the family. caps and libs are not a good combo 2 very different people with different outlooks on life i know I've been married to one for 30 years, my mothers is a cap to

I am a Libra who was married to a Gemini man... BEWARE... they are not a good match.. Gemini's are twins (evil twin)... but it was more like JEKYLL & HYDE... multiple personality disorder... Libra's are about LOVE and are in it for the long haul, wanting a relationship to work...sticking it out until the "bitter end"... Gemini guys have no clue how to communicate, are all about themselves and will smile and say everything is ok while behind your back they're living another life, (lie, cheat and con). Every Gemini man I have ever known... they have all been the same way.

Stay away, no matter how good looking or charming they are!
