BREAKUPS AND CAPRICORN

WHY MIGHT YOU WANT TO BREAK UP WITH A CAPRICORN?

Capricorn’s workaholic nature may well be the main reason why you want to break up with them. Although their strong work ethic makes them great providers, this Star Sign’s relentless pursuit of success and status leaves them little time for togetherness. In fact a Capricorn's career often comes before love in their order of priorities. If this is a problem for you (as it might be for many people), you could end up feeling very short-changed.

A Capricorn’s inborn frugality – both emotional and material – often spells death for their romantic relationships and may be the root cause of you deciding to break up with them. Many people born under Capricorn find it painfully hard to express their feelings. They’re also notoriously reluctant ever to spend more money than they absolutely have to. So despite their sterling qualities of patience and dependability, you may eventually tire of Capricorn's tightwad ways. 


HOW SHOULD YOU GO ABOUT BREAKING UP WITH A CAPRICORN?

You’ll find your breakup with a Capricorn goes much more smoothly if you approach it in a pragmatic and structured way. To make the breakup easier for a Capricorn to cope with, you need to help them to understand how it will affect their life in practical terms and what’s likely to happen at every step along the way. Try to agree on a timetable of events, and stick to it. Also be prepared to enter into extended discussions about the financial implications of the breakup, which will be particularly important to them. 

A slow and gradual approach is best when breaking up with a Capricorn. Although some Star Signs hate protracted breakups, they can work much better for Capricorns than a sudden split. The more time you give a slow moving Goat to adjust little by little to the imminent ending of a relationship, the better for them and for you.

WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT IF YOU BREAK UP WITH A CAPRICORN?

The good news is that if you break up with a Capricorn, they’re less likely to have an emotional meltdown or to suffer from an irreparably broken heart than more emotionally vulnerable Star Signs. It won’t take long before they start to take a realistic view of the situation and their hard headed instincts kick in. 

The bad news about breaking up with a Capricorn is that they’ll expect a substantial settlement (financial or otherwise) for having been dumped by you. Don’t imagine you can just walk away from a Capricorn without paying them their just dues. Bear in mind too that the more nastily you’ve broken up with them, the less respect you’ve shown them, and the more damage you’ve done to their reputation, the higher their demands will be.


REASONS FOR A CAPRICORN BREAKING UP WITH YOU

Where relationships are concerned this Star Sign is no quitter, and if a Capricorn breaks up with you it can only be for one reason: you’re getting in the way of their ambitions or holding them back somehow. 

Because a Capricorn’s key agenda is worldly advancement, they look to their relationships to further their material and social aspirations and help them to get on in life. So if you’re failing to fulfill this function by dragging them down, trashing their good name, or inadequately supporting them in their career goals, you may soon be an unwanted liability. 

HOW A CAPRICORN IS LIKELY TO BREAK UP WITH YOU

It takes a lot for a Capricorn to decide to break up with you. Because their loyalty is legendary and their patience seemingly endless, they’ll usually work long and hard to try to save a troubled relationship before finally throwing in the towel.   

When a Capricorn breaks up with you, as far as possible they will try to do so in an honorable way. Because Capricorns take their relationship responsibilities very seriously, even when a love affair is ending they’ll do their best to carry on fulfilling all their outstanding obligations to you. Very few people born under this Star Sign will just disappear and leave you in the lurch.

Don’t, however, expect a Capricorn to feel any kind of responsibility for your hurt feelings or to engage in any sort of emotional discussion about what went wrong. When a Capricorn breaks up with you, they’ll be quite happy to analyze the practical problems that led to the ending of the relationship. But they probably won’t understand, or be at all interested in, the emotional side of things.


HOW TO WIN BACK A CAPRICORN

Your best tactic for winning back a Capricorn is to make a strong case for the concrete benefits for them in getting back together with you. Keep in mind that you’re dealing with a very down to earth and largely unsentimental Star Sign. So don’t waste your time trying to win back their heart; instead appeal to their practical side. 

To win back your Capricorn ex you need to find a way of convincing them that despite everything, you can still be a good business team, and that both financially and socially, you’ll be much better off together than apart.
