How does one share their feelings with a Leo male, or possibly criticize him without being “roared” at?
Question by Lee K: How does one share their feelings with a Leo male, or possibly criticize him without being “roared” at?
Kinda long but bare with me here. Anyone dating a Leo who has some tips or any Leo men who could give me a look at things from my bf’s perspective are appreciated!
My boyfriend is a Leo. Not to generalize but he is exactly like the description of your typical Leo. he even looks like a Lion.Golden mane and all 
He is very sweet and affectionate and being a Scorpio woman I really adore him for this because he has shown me how to more openly express gestures of love. I also love his protective nature <3 The problem is that he handles criticism poorly. Even when I'm not looking to criticize him he becomes defensive and it really hinders our communication. It's very frustrating. It almost seems like he feels attacked if I offer anything less than praise. He isn't the most emotionally astute when it comes to other people's feelings, so he does things without thinking about the consequences it will have on others. I don't think he has a mean bone in his body or ever means to hurt or offend others, in fact all he really wants is appreciation of his ideas and unique qualities, but when it does happen I would like to feel more comfortable coming to him and expressing that something he did hurt my feelings or upset me or someone else. It's hard to explain others feelings to him.
His venus is in cancer btw.
&&& I know Scorpio and Leo are not considered the best match but I love him and believe that's worth the work. Plus I have a Pisces Decan and my venus in Libra so I'm less interested in being "the man" in the relationship.
Would praising him for his positive qualities and achievements often make it easier for him to cope with occasional criticism?
To MS*RDHD: He actually says all the time that it's all about my approach but I tell him that I have listened to him and tried to change my delivery and the result is always the same. Somehow my approach is always wrong no matter how I go about it and it winds up always being MY fault HE reacts the way he does.
& He never actually tells me how I should go about approaching the subject.
To Been There: True, I can admit that like many Scorpios I can play the victim and assume if he hurt me it was intentional, but as I said it is never intentional he is pretty innocent and loving ^_^ It is something I am trying to work on, because Scorpio suspicion is pretty useless when you're dealing with a Leo! If anything it turns into him thinking "Well if she's convinced I'm a bastard I might as well be one!" I am also trying to harness my emotions and keep them from controlling me so I can ask questions first before blowing up or becoming very upset.

Answer by MS*RDHD
You both have strong personalities and are proud. Deep down though you both are very sensitive! This believe it or not is NOT the worst match up with zodiac signs. Leo and Taurus are actually even more at odds. What I would do is to soften the blow of the criticism I would add something very complimentary in there like ” Babe, you KNOW I love you but or I think you are such a Sweehart but…… and then just very nicely….after all displeasure can be stated with out being mean and just be honest Leos will appreciate you really opening up your true feelings…..Like it really makes me feel ***** when you do this or that and I just really wanted to tell you how ***** made me feel. I am a Leo and a Cancer Venus so I can sometimes get offended easily BUT it really depends on how the problem is addressed to me and whether I feel disrespected or attacked.

Why do men “obligate” their buddies requests, yet put hardly any effort in their relationships needs?
Question by SoConfused: Why do men “obligate” their buddies requests, yet put hardly any effort in their relationships needs?
I’m tired of coming second to my mans friends. We have 3 children and 7 years of being togeather.
I could ask him to spend some “Us Time”, maybe have a drink at Ruby Tuesday’s just the two of us.
He gives me every reason why we need to save money. His buddies call him 10 minutes later with the same request.
Next thing I know, I’m calling his cell phone and he’s at Ruby Tuesdays while I’m chasing down our 3 sons.
I’m sick of being told “We Can’t Right Now”, just to find out he really just couldn’t or didn’t want to do it with me.
To make things worse, If I go by myself; I’d never hear the end of it! WTF?
I’m not the one to sit home while he’s out having a great time.
Why after all the arguing about it, can’t he realize our relationship is suffering from it?
He puts all his effort in his friends, and acts like our relationship can wait til later.

Sounds like he’s being a jerk. Have you tried just talking to him about it as calmly as you can? You two could probably really use some time with just the two of you to re-connect.

Q&A: Have you ever gone from the “submissive” to “dominant” partner?
Question by Dude24: Have you ever gone from the “submissive” to “dominant” partner?
From what I’ve gathered, my current boyfriend was the submissive/passive partner in his previous relationships. In our relationship, however, he has become more of the dominant partner. (I like this btw)
He has even said that if our relationship get serious enough, which we both see happening, he wants to “take care” of me. As in he’d be the “bread winner” while I would have the domestic responsibilities, which I don’t mean to brag but I am an excellent cook!
He is about 4 years older than me, I’m 20.
I don’t want to say I refuse to be more of the “man” of the relationship, but I’d be no good at it. I have more of a feminine personality, in which I am a care-giver/nurturer, thoroughly enjoy cooking/baking, and domestic related work.
Is it because he is getting older that he’s beginning to prefer that role or is it he likes me enough to take on that role?
Best answer:
Answer by Thomas L
How bizarre. The relationship I have with my partner is entirely mutual and I think that’s an ideal situation.
I have no idea why you’d even structure your relationship like this, it doesn’t make sense… As for his motivations, why don’t you just talk to him about it? Or is that not submissive enough?

Q&A: Has anyone heard of a BTA (Basic Travel Allowance) needed for an American “stranded” in Nigeria to fly to US?
Question by Irma M: Has anyone heard of a BTA (Basic Travel Allowance) needed for an American “stranded” in Nigeria to fly to US?
Contacted by messenger friend saying he wants to come back to US because he and his daughter are stranded in Nigeria. Went to work there from Iowa. We have a telephone relationship. This man “sobs” literally sobs — no faking. Although I have never met him, I care very much for him. I spoke to a travel agent from KLM Travel. She said this does happen and that US Embassy will not help because I have not “seen” him. ARE they all scammers or are there really people in need of help?
Best answer:
Answer by gen patton
don’t throw your money away, there are a million scams coming out of that country. if you go to work for a company overseas, it is generally in your contract that, if you work 9 months they pay your return trip. what has he done with the money he made. we don’t have the only ACTORS in the world. if he really were an american, he’d know where the embassy is. DON’T GET SUCKED IN.

being the “man” in the relationship / how to deal with “possible but not proven” cheating( teen relationship )?
Question by : being the “man” in the relationship / how to deal with “possible but not proven” cheating( teen relationship )?
Alright,
I am 17 and my Girlfriend is 16, im 2 grades higher than her so you can definitely see the age difference. ( not that bad though i guess ). Okay this might be a difficult question but i keep hearing “i need to be the man in the relationship, dont let her run the relationship” from my friends, as well as my coach ( yeah i know weird ). Myself being very nice i dont really understand it, i guess i should start from the beginning…
I do everything for my girlfriend, take her out, treat her right all the regular concepts of being a good boyfriend you know. But i have been hearing things from “other people” that she is playing around with other boys, and “oh she is cheating on you” , “shes a player” etc. ( keep in mind im hearing this things with people i joke around with, and have fun with, so hard to take them seriously). My two best friends asure me tell me shes not cheating on me, and i don’t need to listen to all that stuff. I have not been in many relationship’s but i its weird because people tend to come to me when they have relationship issues, so im very insightful and informed, and usualy know the answer on how they should handle these issues. Although i cant seem to figure this out or how to handle it. I do everything for my girl, and try to be the best i can for her, because her last boyfriend only was with her to have sex. I want our relationship to be more, but this issue seems to make me want to hold back now. I am in love with her, and she tells me that poeple are just hating,and joking, and im trippin over lies etc:. i belive her,and trust her but i still have that thought in the back of my mind. I try to go by the philosophy that “it should only be true when you see it” but its getting hard. I have already confronted her about it and as i said she tells me the aligations are false. So now i am stuck, i feel as if i am to good, and can be to good to be played/cheated on. And i would never ever cheat on someone im in a relationship. Me and her are on different halls in my school, so i only see her in the morning ( for 10 minutes ) in the middle of the day ( 15 minutes ) and maybe after school if im lucky to get out there before she gets on the bus. ( 3 minutes ) but i do try to go out with her as much as possible. I figure if i show her i care, and want to take her out, and be there as much as possible, that willl prevent the cheating etc: Just dont know, ” is being the man in the relationship,” “running it” going to help if she even is cheating? because i definitely try to be the man…. someone help, need good answers please. thank you for taking the time out to read ( sorry if its hard to understand, tried to avoid talking how i speak as much as possible )
i have never seen her flirt with another guy in front of me, and she is not the flirty type..just been having these thoughts because of what i have been hearing from others, i know im not supposed to belive what anyone else says but yea…
