Carl,

Best thing is to just let go and find out.

Relax and let things happen the way they are supposed to... right now you need to focus on your health, bud! You need to be doing things, too, that make you feel good!

Take care of yourself...

Let her do what she needs to do...

Carl - I clicked on this because I also have an Aries Sun - But I can't say I relate to her behaviour. I was very emotionally touched by this thread and by you. My only comment is:

I don't feel that she deserves you or that she has the emotional depth and maturity to understand what you are going through.

I hope and pray you always love yourself and that you attract people in your life who are as understanding and as genuine as you are.

Hi Carl,

My brother (Pisces/Aries cusp, I'm Aries/Taurus cusp) had 4th stage cancer. It was a long haul but it's been 14 years since & he's doing fine. Of course your situation is different but I do know the stress of dealing with a loved one who is ill and how I reacted to it.

She is pulling way back. For what reason, I do not know. If it's over for her she wouldn't tell you now because she obviously cares deeply about your welfare and wouldn't want to hurt you but it is because you sense it. OR she may be struggling with the lack of control over the situation. A major illness affecting a loved one makes us feel utterly powerless and we hate that! It brings up all kinds of fears that we never allow ourselves to think about. There's somewhat of a superhero fantasy mentality in an Aries.

I would go from crying all the time to being distant just for self-preservation. You have to understand how hard it is to see someone you love suffer. Still, I'd be on you like white on rice. I can't control what happened to you but I can do __ , whatever I can to help.

Did she request space after you got sick?
Some things she said does raise red flags like how she's fine if you find a job in another city. Sounds like not so subtle hints.
I'm also not sure of the time limit and her finding herself thing. Did she put a time on it?

I don't know exactly but I will not mince words or give false hope. This isn't feeling right to me.
All the Aries I've known love hard. There is rarely any fence sitting with us.
Also, I've never asked for distance or breaks...just never felt that need.
We're all up in your face whether you like it or not!

Please don't let this stress you out too much. I know it's hard but you need to think of your health & recovery.
If it's really driving you crazy, let her know it's ok if she wants to break up. You can handle the truth, it's better than wondering & worrying. One thing I learned through counseling at the Wellness Center is that underlying stresses are the worst kind.
If she loves you,it wouldn't push her away.

You'll find cancer changes you and the people around you in very profound ways. A lot of it is actually positive. My brother feels like he lives a much more authentic life after his experience. He met a wonderful woman (Aries) soon after and they are very happy together.

Please keep us posted.

Let me know if I can help in any way.

The living/job thing is just a practical statement not meant to push away. She has been focusing ultra hard on being "miss. practical" these days. It is indeed well known the economy and job prospects are bad here, and I think it is easy for outsiders to take that to the extreme and her mindset it more of the "find work where you can" and "don't pass on an opportunity somewhere just so you can be closer." Can always look for work closer later. I kind of get that sentiment, since jobs aren't at a premium.

She has had chances to break it off, I have given them, and stated I needed a break.

So I do remain clueless. Ugh. She does tell me to just calm my heart and says she misses me.

Time needed for space = she does not know how long she will need. She needs to find herself cause she realizes she really did fall very deeply for me and she needs to just get control of herself again, foucs oon herself. No time limit and I do not want to push her in regards to that either.

Just wanted to thank everyone for their input. I know I have not responded to everything but be sure I appreciate it all. While this has been the most difficult time of my 26 years, with health, love, money/career and by extension even family due to those aforementioned four stresses, I have a small nondescript flicker of hope (source: Not sure) that occasionally flickers and am just trying to find a place for it to spark into something larger. A guiding hand if you will (mentor), perhaps.

Carl, i usually just stick with the main astrology forum and never check here, but i just did and found your thread here.

i don't have anything useful to say, and our situations are very different, but i can feel so well of this, "going through a relationship worries during a very difficult time in life, when one needs support".

my heart is with you, stay strong.

carl,

I am a scorpio sun, female. I understand where you are coming from. Your situation is hard because more often than not, if I and others were in your position, we would want support and care from our significant other instead of he/she pulling away.
Be strong.

I agree with Betty Boop, she does not deserve you and she lacks the maturity and understanding of what you are going through.
If she is an unevolved aries, it is all about her ego and her.
But you, as a scorpio, may have a hard time letting go and will cling to her. Best thing to do is to take care of yourself and go with the flow.

I also agree with Pluto squared, try to find yourself a Virgo next time around. They are wonders for scorps.

Hello Carl,
It does sound to me like she is trying to avoid you in a rather subtle way.
Yes you are right You dont have to be pushy about her..just let her go if she wants to.
I dont think she wants to continue either..She is just tryin to be wishy washy if you can percieve it.
I know it hurts now is the right time to make the right choice for you as well as for her and the way she responded was the least expected of her..atleast right now when you need her the most.
Whatever happens dont take it to your heart..everything happens for our own good.
Just be yourself and God will take care of the rest.
Sending you love,light and blessings.

We,all, are needy,Carl. It is worse when you are ill.
If she does not have what it takes to stand by you,let her go.
Sooner or later,she would,anyway

Thanks for the input. Obviously this post has been one sided in that only I have say and I don't want to undermine how sweet she has been, since she is not here. But recent struggles make her seem cold perhaps, I admit.

I remember at one point she was saying "wanna be like glue to you" and so many other deep beautiful things so current affairs seem like a stunning decline to me. At a loss for words, and too complicated to even summarize here. Thanks however!

Carl, I haven't read through the whole thread, but I want to say that you sound like a great and brave person and a very loving boyfriend...I'm sorry you're struggling with health issues, and I wish you healing and better days.

I also want to say, about Aries--they REALLY want to be the hero, and gallop in wearing shining armor on a white horse and rescue their lover from all that's wrong in the world. (The girls, too!) So when an Aries is faced with a problem you have that he or she can't heroically fix, that's when s/he might pull away. It can make them feel helpless, and they really hate that feeling.

I'll tell her she has been a hero enough, as much as humanly possible, and there are some things beyond a persons control.

I don't get it, I have mentioned I needed a break and "break up" myself and I remember recently she saying she did not want to lose me. She knows I am a good guy. I dunno...
