How to Avoid Making a Capricorn Man Break Up with You

How do you avoid making a Capricorn man break up with you?

You can’t 100% of the time, of course, but if you can show him that you are willing to put in as much work as he is into the relationship, that will go a long way in making sure the relationship lasts.

These are men who don’t want to invest in something they don’t think will work long-term. If a Capricorn man wants you, however, he’ll do anything to make things work.

Fully Commit

Capricorn men often don’t have time for casual relationships. They are busy people. They have places to be and goals to work on.

If you don’t think you’re ready to settle down and commit, it is probably better to let the relationship end before you both get too invested. He doesn’t want to place all his trust into a summer fling, after all.

This is a man who isn’t going to put effort into a person with whom he doesn’t see a future. If your Capricorn man is distancing himself, that might be why.

If you show him that you are ready for a long-term relationship and that you’re willing to put in all the work, effort, and compromise required, he’ll feel more secure.

Keep in mind that when they’re committed to you, they’re all in. Similarly, when a Capricorn man is done with you, he’s really done with you.

Be Supportive

One thing a Capricorn man hates the most is when his achievements go unnoticed. If he feels like you don’t care about his goals, he’s going to think ultimately you don’t care about him.

Listen to his problems and his successes, his frustrations, and his passions. Show him that you are there for him through thick and thin.

Building toward the future is essential to a Capricorn man. He has plans and goals, and he has a good idea about how he will get to where he wants to be.

Discuss these goals with him and show him that you are willing to support him in making them a reality. If you do this, you’re more likely to be a part of that future as well.

Have Ambition

Capricorn men tend to be attracted to ambitious people. He is a hard worker, and he appreciates people who are as well.

Essentially, he wants somebody who can keep up with him and is willing to stand next to him while he seeks success.

This doesn’t mean that you need to be a workaholic who is always at the office. Ambition simply means that you have a desire to achieve something, and you’re willing to put in the work to do so.

When a Capricorn man respects you and feels like you are matching his energy, he is more likely to stick around for the long term.

If you are ever having problems, showing him you have a plan and are willing to work is how you fix things with a Capricorn man.

Give Him Space

If you find that a Capricorn man is distancing himself, sometimes the best thing to do isn’t to push him or chase after him; it’s better to give him some space.

This isn’t to say you should always ignore him if something seems wrong. Asking if something is up or if he needs anything is fine. But if he says no or straight up tells you he needs space? Give it to him.

He doesn’t want to feel smothered, and if he thinks you’re too “clingy,” that is precisely how he’s going to feel. So if a Capricorn man stops talking to you for a bit, just let him be alone.

You also need to understand that sometimes, he will need to stay late at work or focus on his career for a while. Let him.

If you allow him to get his work done, he’ll come to you after to let you know all about what he achieved while he was spending a little less time with you.

Be Honest

Capricorn men can be brutally honest, and even if they don’t expect you to also be brutal about it, they expect honesty from you at all times. This is one of the most important things when it comes to gaining and keeping his trust.

This is a man who doesn’t have time for games. So if he thinks you’re deceptive, he’s not going to stick around.

Even “white lies” can feel like a betrayal to Capricorn. You might think they are necessary sometimes but try to keep them to a minimum.

He would rather hear the truth from you, even if it isn’t pretty, than hear a lie from you and find out the truth from someone else.

Being yourself around him is part of being honest. Don’t pretend to like things you don’t like just because he does. He doesn’t want to fall in love and place his trust in somebody who isn’t actually who they are pretending to be.

Ask About Work

Capricorns are known for being very invested in their work. So when a Capricorn man ignores you for work, it’s not meant as a slight. He just loves his job, and he’s busy.

You don’t need to know every single detail about his job or keep tabs 24/7 on what he’s doing, but asking how his workday was and listening when he’s excited about a project or an achievement will let him know that you care.

Sharing his goals and his successes with you is one of the ways he lets you in and shows he cares. Appreciate this for what it is: a sign of affection.

If work is nothing more than a chore to you, that’s fine, but it’s not to him. Talking about work for him might be just as important as talking about your family or friends or your art (whatever you are passionate about).

Be Patient

Even when in a relationship, Capricorn men can take a while to trust somebody and fully open up. If you give him the time and space he needs, he’ll be less likely to want to ditch the relationship.

You might be all in right away but if he’s not, give him time. Sometimes this is just a sign that the relationship isn’t meant to be, but other times, all he needs is some patience.

Showing that you are willing to take things at his pace will show that you are somebody he can trust with his heart. It might take a while for him to open up and be emotionally vulnerable, but it will be worth it in the end.

Be patient in other ways as well. For example, try not to be too irritated if he doesn’t respond to a message right away: he’s probably working or caught up with something else and will respond when he can.

Offer Security

Capricorn is an earth sign. They crave stability and security in all aspects of their life. He wants to know that if he needs you, you’re going to be there.

Financial security has a lot to do with this as well.

So while a Capricorn man is fine working and being the breadwinner, if you are somebody with a lot of debt or someone who spends beyond their means, that will be a red flag for him.

One of the signs a Capricorn man wants to break up is when he starts making many critical comments about your finances. Watch out for that.

Capricorn men are loyal, devoted partners. He wants you to feel secure in the relationship, and in return, do what you can to make him feel secure as well.

Respect His Goals

One of the quickest ways to make a Capricorn break up with you is to disrespect or belittle his goals in life. He has a plan for his life, and it is vital to him.

He is willing to adjust the plan as needed, but if you expect him to scrap something entirely because it doesn’t fit in with your plans or because you don’t think it’s worthwhile, he will most likely choose his goals over you.

You don’t always need to see eye to eye but letting him know that you support his goals will go a long way in terms of strengthening your relationship.

Keep Plans

It may seem like a small thing to some people, but sticking to the plan you’ve made with him and being on time is a big deal for a Capricorn man.

Things happen sometimes, and he understands that. But if you are constantly backing out of plans at the last minute or showing up late, he will feel like you don’t care.

If he says he’s picking you up or that you’re both leaving at a specific time, be ready. 7:00 PM means 7:00 PM to him, not 7:15 or 7:30.

If a Capricorn man is suddenly distant following a date, it might be because you were late or didn’t stick to the plan.

Make an effort to be where you say you’re going to be when you say you’re going to be there.

However, if something unavoidable does come up, let him know as soon as you can. Show him that you respect his time, and he is going to feel like you care.
