He’s Rarely Jealous

Do Capricorn men get jealous? They do, but it’s rare. While it’s not impossible for a Capricorn man to get jealous, he’s also not usually the jealous type.

He Does Get Envious

If you’re in a relationship with a Capricorn man, you might notice that he gets envious far more often than he gets jealous. This is incredibly common for Capricorn men!

Jealousy stems from being worried about someone else taking something from you. If a Capricorn man is jealous of your male friend, that would mean he worries that you may leave him for that friend.

Envy stems from desiring something that someone else has. If a Capricorn man is envious of you or someone else in his life, it’s because that person has something that your Capricorn wants but doesn’t have.

A Capricorn man might envy your male friends who are more successful than him. He may envy a coworker who gets a raise before him. This is very different from being jealous of these people, so keep that in mind.

He Can Be Possessive

Are Capricorn men possessive? They can be! All earth signs can get possessive to some extent, as they are concerned with security and stability.

A Capricorn man might feel possessive or territorial now and then, but that doesn’t mean he’ll act on those feelings. He wants you to be an independent person, not a possession of his.

How do you know your Capricorn man is possessive? He might be overly obsessed with where you are and who you’re with. He may constantly ask what you’re doing and who you’re out with.

Possessive behavior is also a sign that there is a lack of trust. If your Capricorn man genuinely trusts you, he’ll control his possessive behavior. He’ll let you go off and do your own thing, and he won’t demand that you keep him updated constantly.

He Needs Control

Are Capricorn men controlling? They can be. Capricorn men typically want to feel like they have control over themselves and their lives, but that can sometimes extend to those around them.

A Capricorn man might become possessive if he feels like he’s losing control of things. If he feels like his partner is unpredictable, and his relationship is unstable, he’ll react by trying to get things under control.

If your Capricorn man is controlling, talk to him. He likely doesn’t want to control you. He wants to control his life. You just happen to be an integral part of his life!

A Capricorn man’s possessive behavior typically isn’t a sign that he wants to take away your freedom or independence. He wants to know what is happening around him. Reassure him and help him to feel more stable, and he’ll stop acting possessive.

He Gets Insecure

If a Capricorn man is insecure, he’s more likely to act possessive. If he doubts your relationship or feels unsure about your love for him, he may act more jealous or possessive than usual.

Sometimes, a Capricorn man’s insecurity is unfounded and irrational, and he knows that. If you haven’t done anything wrong, he’ll try to work through his insecurities without acting possessive or jealous.

If you have done something to make a Capricorn man feel insecure, he might become more possessive. If you openly flirt with a male friend or compare him to your ex, he might get jealous and not want you interacting with those people.

If your Capricorn man says he feels insecure, listen to him. Don’t brush things aside. Even if his insecurities don’t make sense, reassure him and work through things.

He Expects Loyalty

A Capricorn man in a relationship will expect loyalty from his partner. If you think he’s acting jealous or possessive, sometimes the true explanation is that you two have different expectations or ideas of what loyalty means.

If your Capricorn man trusts you and knows you are entirely loyal to him, he is less likely to get jealous or act possessively. When you two are on the same page about what loyalty means, he’ll have no reason to act out.

If your Capricorn man ever accuses you of being disloyal, or he’s worried that you might be, talk to him. He might be irrationally jealous, but there may also be a legitimate disconnect or misunderstanding.

As long as you are loyal to your Capricorn man, you’ll be fine. Avoid flirting with others, even if it’s just for fun, and always make it clear that you’re not single if someone else does show interest in you.

He Wants an Equal Relationship

If you’re dating a Capricorn man, he will want an equal relationship. He doesn’t want to control his partner. He doesn’t want to have a relationship where he completely dominates, and his partner has no say in anything.

If a Capricorn man is acting controlling, there’s a reason for it. This is usually not because he wishes to control you and call all the shots. There’s likely a deeper reason behind his behavior.

Remind your Capricorn man that you need your independence if he acts possessive or controlling. Tell him you also want an equal relationship and don’t like it when he tries to control you, regardless of his reasons.

Possessive or controlling behavior can throw your relationship off balance. If this happens, talk to your Capricorn man. He will try to work through things if he cares about you.
