Why does a Capricorn fall out of love?
August 6, 2007 by Jeffrey Kishner
People fall in love, they fall out of love. The clouds of fantasy eventually fade away, leaving nothing but the reality of your lover’s best and worst traits. If you don’t like the “what is” of your partner, were you ever in love in the first place, or were you just in love with the image you created?
A Capricorn man seems the least likely of any other Sun sign member to delude himself. After all, he is ruled by Saturn, the reality principle. If Cap doesn’t fall in love until he’s made a measured assessment of his partner-to-be, then he’s unlikely to have acted impulsively on the basis of unconscious projections.
So, if not disillusionment, what is the source of Capricorn’s heart-retreat? This man may not be as cold and calculating as he is reputed to be, but he nonetheless has his own pragmatic way of making life decisions. We often fall out of love when either we or our lover have changed (or not). A Capricorn man prefers slow and steady growth, so he may be turned off by a partner’s radical deviation from what he’s come to rely upon. Could it be that the withdrawal of his partner’s support — so that he or she can climb their own mountaintop — results in the passing of a cold wind through Cap’s chest?
To a Capricorn, is love more than feeling that your one-and-only helps you rise to partner in the firm?

Capricorns love firstly with there mind, it is very hard to connect emotionally, as your head will always pul you in a different direction. We seek men who are powerful with some kind or aire around them, one who can break through the walls we put up (coldness as its percieved) and raise the heat, without being mushy. These are the only people we will love!
Capricorns rarely fall out of love, we are loyal and committed, and if we are truly in love, those feelings dont dissapear, we may decide that the relationship isnt right or wont take us where we need to go and will remove ourselves from it.
If you have a hurt a capricorn, you will be disregarded as if you didnt even exist.
Capricorns appear cold and unattached emotionally, but this is the surface, anyone who truly knows a capricorn will know they are exactly the opposite of this, it just takes someone who is successful, confident, patient and loyal to get through this.
OMGosh! Jane…I agree with you wholeheartedly!! I am sooo that way. Alot of men find it extremely hard to fathom me and my “way of doing things”. I only see black or white. There is no gray area for me. Alot of people consider me to be stubborn and close-minded, but I only wish that people would broaden their perspectives and see things in my only realistic way. The world would run smoother if people saw things through a Capricorn woman’s mind. You Go Girl!! You are definitely not alone
I thought my Capricorn husband of 15yrs was extremely stable and faithful until I learned last month that he has been having an e-mail affair with someone and has been contemplating other affairs… says his feelings are no more…. I have not hurt him or EVER cheated on him (or come close) and this is all out of the blue as far as I’m concerned…. so all your analysis of how people work according to their signs is mostly a load of BS, I would say! Get over it and dela with people as individuals instead of shoving them into preconceived holes.
I hear that joya.
I’m a Capricorn woman. I would never date a Capricorn. We are weird. If you have a crush on a Cap, best bet is to tease them. Don’t give a Cap too much because we lose interest in people quick.
If you keep it sexy and mysterious, we will follow or fall for you. If you talk too much, don’t have great convo (great being mutual interests, not inferior or superior conversation) and have a life (friends you can annoy instead of us, a kid to occupy your time, or a hell of a hobby), then you will be straight.
It also boils down to mood, chemistry and the time of day. That is exactly why I wouldn’t date a Capricorn.
yeah you on point dominored, as a cap man myself mysterious,dark and sexy really does it for me
I can see whay a scorpio and a cap would be natraual but maybe theyve got it wrong. Maybe its only good on paper
As a cappy, I’m extremely oppose to the typical opinion of cappies being downright stick-in-the-mud, wet blanket boring kind of people. I’m fun – and joyfully funny. I’ve been told so many times. But as to when and how much I speak or do fun and interesting things, I always look at the situation at hand. Cappies are natural devote. We’re freaks of “things must be done in the correct & proper ways”…but we’re generally not a pushover. We prefer the subtle ways to get what we want. And yes, we’re just human – not somekind of Demi God. We fall in and out of love just like other mortals.. It’s just that if we’re already tied down with some form of commitment (like engagement or marriage), we put 200% effort in it. Sure, we do get into a period of contemplating separation (or divorce) when we go through hard times after we fell out of love, but usually that’s the last choice we would take. We love strong and establish relationships a lot.
Cappies are humans..and like the imperfect human, we flirt. However, more often than not we’re the advocate of “What’s mine stays mine” slogan. It’s hard for us to commint ourselves, so it’s just as hard for us to let go of anything (grudge includes). We’re not in the habit of dropping whatever we have in order to catch what’s falling half a sky away… Though the guys would probably try to hold what they have and catch that falling bit at the same time if he can.. (No offense guys!)… ;-D
I’m a Scorpio woman that just got out of a relationship with a Capricorn and I must say that I am very disappointed. I didn’t experience any of the so called positive traits of a Capricorn. We started off great and could have been fantastic together, but after three months of being patient with him I got pushed aside for no reason at all. All I got out of all this was a broken heart and social embarrassment (I’m being isolated by the friends we share).
Nicky, I had the same exact experience with a Capricorn guy. I am also extremely disappointed!
