TCapricorns are natural bosses and carry a noticeable air of authority, even in their loving relationships. This could be anything from a little domineering to an all-out control freak, but either way, they may have a tendency to treat you as their support team rather than their equal partner. Capricorns can also be very opportunistic, which may end up with you feeling like you're being used.If there's anyone who can find the bad in a situation, it's a Capricorn. Their tendency to look at the gloomy side of life could wear on you quickly if you carry a more upbeat, positive outlook on things.

They know their hearts well, and don’t hesitate to lock things down when they know that the relationship is right. And their instincts are on point—loyal Capricorns stay in relationships for the long haul. They aren’t afraid of therapy if their relationship needs help, and approach problems as a bump in the road, capable of fixing with honesty, trust, and hard work from both partners.


Capricorn's demeanor is classy and respectful -- while they may not be the life of the party, they won't ever embarrass you with loud, rude, or obnoxious behavior either. When you show them off to your friends or family, you can relax knowing your Capricorn lover will make a good impression.
