I don’t know if it’s settling, I think it’s a matter of realizing that you need the right partner beside you. Coming from a guy that’s 34 and has had very little success dating, it’s not that we don’t…

I like him a lot and I’m enjoying this sort of traditional dating structure. I really like how he will invite me over, I’ll decline and he doesn’t ask for an explanation or try to convince me of anyth…

you're asking the right question, and it's the one most Jupiter in Aquarius write-ups skip. the traditional framework helps here: Jupiter in Aquarius is in its detriment (opposite Leo). not because i…

If you're leaning toward traditional astrology, it's worth knowing that the classical tradition focused much more on synastry than on composite charts. Composite charts are a fairly modern technique t…

Seems like he wants a marriage with traditional roles.. all I’m saying is, if he has already told you what he wants and you take him back, don’t be surprised when he brings it up again.

Traditional roles plus a paycheck deposited into the family account, lol.

I am from India, and understand the cultural context. He wants a 'traditional' marriage with the 'modern' perks. Don't go back and get stuck in a abusive marriage.

He told you what life with him will look like. He only regrets that he didn't have you reeled in enough to just say okay. Good for you by the way! It can be hard to stand our ground. Do not get back…
