Saturn In Libra: Defining What You Can And Cannot Stand In Relationship

Ask the collective

Speaking of what you can and can’t stand in relationship, this is very personal.  Some people have not been able to stand the fact my voice carries when I talk. I can’t stand passive aggressive so as you can see I am marrying AGGRESSIVE.

Some people can’t stand an inflated ego, and/or preachiness while others are barely bothered by it. Some people like to spar in their relationships, others hate upset of any kind.

With Saturn in Libra it is key you decide for yourself what you can and can’t stand. Boundaries, see?

For the outsider looking in, just because you can’t stand him doesn’t mean your friend is having a problem. These type issues are front and center now and will be for the next few 3 years.

What is deal-breaker for you in relationship? Also, can you think of something about your partner that bothers other but that you enjoy?

Being bored is a dealbreaker. And I need emotional depth. So, yes, sparkles and depth. It’s a tall order :-)

My husband is what I guess you would call clasically uneducated. He dropped out of school when he was 15. This has bothered several of my friends, especially when I first got married.

It doesn’t really bother me, because he is one of the most motivated, passionate people I know. His area of knowledge is narrow and deep, so yes there are areas he has a lack in. But you don’t have to be in school to “learn.”

I’ve had several friends tell me that they prefer “a smart man,” or were bothered by his uncouth-ness (or perceived uncouth-ness). They were more airy types, so I guess I understand. But I’m a water fire type, and I respect heart wisdom and the passion of those who are self-taught. He’s much smarter than some of the people I was in grad school with…

Unfaithfulness is top of my list of deal breakers - lots of Scorpio.

One thing I learned the hard way is the importance of being very upfront with your deal breakers. That can save time and heartache.

Another thought is this: Make a list of all the deal breakers you can come up with. Then reduce it down to the absolute worst. Saturn is still in Virgo and nitpicking can get out of hand! Keep in mind nobody’s perfect including ourselves . . . :)

I should add, we also wind up winning most people’s respect.

As for deal breakers - low character and/or lack of self esteem send me straight out the door.

You’ve certainly won mine, Elsa.

My dealbreakers? Along those same lines: someone who doesn’t respect me. I’d rather be alone than be subjected to the behavior of someone who doesn’t respect me.

Also, they need to have an active mind, be curious about the world, and be unafraid of going DEEP.

What i came to want in relationships: honesty, emotional courage (very hard to find in men), an open mind (not necessarily intellectual, but interested) and an certain generosity of the heart. Men who are able to stand for themselves.

Can´t stand: Pretenders, cowards and liars, men depending on symbols of social status, “go with the crowd”-types, and those who are that needy for partnership they´d practically take anything offered.

Lately i´ve realized that for a 7th house gemini sun it´s relationshipS/friendshipS that count, not “finding the ONE”. Guess i´m too much of “the ONE” myself for me now. I am partnered and i like it, but it´s not the center of my life. For the better - he´s a sag with sun conjunct saturn in 6, so guess what always comes first as far as he is concerned… No chance in being clingy, but a whole lot of space and personal freedom and being cherished for the person i am. The stronger, the better.

Dealbreakers:

- Unfaithfulness. I have a strong Cancer Moon squared by Pluto. Someone with a wandering eye. This just doesn’t make me very comfortable.

- A man that still lives at home (I’ve been independent since I was 21. There are things that change when you are independent and on your own. I like to have my partner know what it’s like to pay bills, maintain a home, etc… Not rely on Mommy and Daddy for everything. You’d be surprised how many men in Canada still live at home).

- A man who CANNOT stand up for himself.

Dealbreaker: The daddy type–don’t even think about telling me how to live my life, cause it ain’t gonna happen.

Bothers others (but I enjoy): My partner’s ‘tude. He definitely unnerves new people at face value (depending on the other personality), but I find his little show quite amusing (and adorable). Scorpio can come off as harsh and stinging, I think.

I am one of those who really hates fighting (as in, angry verbal exchanges– there are other ways to fight, of course). I have done it in relationships and I find I’m way happier without it. But that doesn’t mean that I think people who fight in relationships are unhappy. Just me. If you are prone to raising your voice a lot, that’s a dealbreaker for me.

Liars and control freaks need not apply, thank-you-very-much.

My husband’s directness is sometimes off-putting to others, but I respect it tremendously. We used to work together, and I’ll never forget the expression on the company VPs face when he asked my husband about a work project expecting to hear a generic “Great” in response and instead got an honest answer. It still makes me chuckle.

My birthday is tamarra, and it’s looking like it might be a relationship year (more on that in a minute). Dealbreakers? God, if only I could figure it out. I’m thinking back, remembering. The part of the relationship that I struggle with is when the newness wears off and nitpicking gets going. It seems like little resentments build up over time and they’re tough to overcome. I have Uranus in the first, Mars in Sadge in the fourth, and an Aries moon. So I have this freedom issue as well. No easy subject for me, relationships. Friendships? I’m good on those. A loyal friend and an ally. I will back people up (Leo J?). At any rate, women are sort of descending upon me right now (last encounter was at the supermarket a couple hours ago), which is not the usual trend (I go in spurts–when it rains, it pours). As far as I can tell, I’m not doing anything different than when I get a polite smile and a “hello.” Who knows? I do know that Jupiter is either transiting my 7th already or about to cross into it. (Oh, one other thing: I was basically raised by my three older sisters, who rigorously trained me with table manners. Plus, I’m a Libra. So bad manners at the table are a dealbreaker.)

Dealbreaker - most definitely loyalty/fidelity. Would rather be alone than deal with that bullshit.

Dorothy, I totally agree with you.

Intelligence. I need to have a man that stimulates my brain. If I don’t feel like we communicate on the same intellectual level, we’re done before we started.

And I absolutely dislike a shy and reserved guy(especially sexually). I am none of the above.

Abuse of any kind, emotional,physical,of me or my children and drug abuse/addiction. This is my absolute.

Someone who gives me too much space: dealbreaker.

Too often I see this in venus-saturn types — they delay/avoid/are fearful (speaking of the square or the opp)

I like “some” space but if you leave me alone too much? I’ll be looking elsewhere

Disloyalty/indecisiveness. Don’t vacillate about whether we should be together, and don’t threaten to leave every time we fight. Commit or not, dammit.

My husband knows a lot and talks a lot. Some people think when he’s sharing info that he’s showing off or trying be better than them some how. He really isn’t. He just figures if you don’t know it’s better to tell you. And he remembers so much random stuff. I mean, he should go on a game show and win money because he knows a lot.

I usually love it because I love that he’s smart! Sometimes though it’s disappointing when I hear something or learn something and share with him only to find out, he already knew. Or worse, that I already knew but forgot. :-)

Dealbreakers: overly sensitive, possessive, controlling, domineering types. Lacking courage or initiative, low energy.

Clingy, obsessive, or smothering - big yuck. Aries Venus and Uranus in the 7th. I need way too much space for my own good. Is it too weird to want to live in separate households? :)

see luci’s answer and add “controlling” as a deal-breaker. i can deal w/possessive & jealous, but it’s when they try to control me with it that i balk…that’s when i start singing “You Don’t Own Me” as i walk out the door…

Reading this post and the one about Scorpio stellium people tendency to “fix” their partners psychologically I ,had a kind of a revelation: The one thing that I’d consider a dealbreaker in a relationship is the lack of emotional support. I can definitely do with imperfect people, with a whole lot of problems. I’ve been with someone with serious substance abuse problem who never considered the relationship exclusive. But these weren’t dealbreakers. It was when he left me completely alone in a time I would have needed him I said enough.

Also, this is what’s causing most problems in my current relationship. My partner just doesn’t seem to know how to react to people getting emotional. Not just me, I see it also with children - he has nephews he adores, but I can tell he is completely lost when they get emotional.

Hahaha Michele …no its not weird at all!!I think a lot of people would be happier living separate, but I also have venus in aries and uranus in 7th, so…:)

dealbreaker is not respecting the other persons path, I just could never be with someone who just viewed me as an assesorie to their life…and I hope I never treat anyone like it either..in a comitted relationship I think u have to think all the time that this other person is coming from a different angle than you , they grew up with differnt sourroundings , dreams , visions ect…
