I did have a very similar experience with a control freak Aries/Gemini rising. He tried to tell me what to wear, and was insanely jealous. Kept acting as though I wasn't 'good enough' for him. I had been nothing but sweet and compliant to him - how I tend to be in relationships when I feel a person 'deserves it'. But he didn't. Sooo...I was heartbroken for a good 10 minutes before I kicked him to the curb so hard, he bounced. He seemed startled that I would dare break up with HIM. And proceeded to stalk me. I'm telling you, it's a test...a power game. I didn't want any part of it and I'm glad I ended it when I did. But it infuriates me still when I think of it - so I completely understand where you're coming from. I remain friends with my exes 99% of the time - but not this one. It was a brief involvement thankfully also, so I am grateful that I was able to bounce back pretty well.

Good for you for letting him know that you couldn't be with a man without a heart. He sounds like an elitist jerk and a control freak and insanely selfish. Why would you want your own daughter around such a creep who can't appreciate her mother, or a woman?
Bad male model. I feel sorry for his daughter.

I can relate though... I dated a guy with a Cancer Sun and an Aries Mars and he ended the dating relationship we had in a similar fashion. My Gemini Sun/Aries Moon friend called him a douche (which was not my opinion) and he got mad at her first and then when I started to apologize for her rude comment, he directed his anger at me saying: "The company you keep! You are defending her! Go run after her! She needs you more than me!" Instead I got mad and just went back to my car and went home, and both of them assumed that I had chosen the other one over them. I was just mad because they had both put me in the middle, indicating how selfish the two of them really were because neither one of them thought how what they were saying was ripping me apart. Furthermore, it was STUPID. The only reason I was fighting with him was because I had really liked him initially, but honestly, I knew better.

My Gemini sun friend has a boss who gave her this little nugget of advice when she was fighting with her sister, and I think it holds true in this case: "When you're fighting with an idiot, it's hard to tell who is the bigger idiot." That's really the way I felt when I was fighting with him: an idiot. I should have just said: "Bye." instead of letting myself be dragged into it. Of course, my own Leo Mars pride would not let it just drop.

The only thing I really like about Aries men is their 'take action' quality. I find that very attractive ... but it gets spoiled by eveyrthing else, lol!

So true !

Btw I have aries moon, and although I'm a girl, I know how selfish aries sun and aries moon can be My mom has aries sun/gem rising, as someone else stated above, and my sister has aries moon too..

All I can say is, self-sacrifice and being a parent must be very tricky for aries. Or being a husband or a father. They will only love it as long as they feel like they are the most important , most self-sacrificing and respectable member of the family, and they might compare their family and kids to others to feel superior, and since there will always be parents, kids and families superior to theirs, they might start complaining, which is probably the worst thing a parent could do
