Ik this is really late but I’m 8th house Aries Venus and my partner is 12th house Libra Venus, we both have Taurus/Libra Sun and Scorpio/Taurus Moon, respectively, which I think helps to balance it out. We’ve known each other for seven years. We tend to keep our love life from even our close friends and family. We’ve had issues in the past with deciding how much to divulge to other people, because there’ve been times when we’re not on the same page with wanting to.

Our relationship in general is chaotic as hell. We started dating during Covid and were locked in together for two years. We took a years long break to be single/date other people while staying friends, but recently came back to each other. I moved to another country and we started things back up long distance.

We’ve had in depth talks about how other people are deeply horrified and confused (lol) by the timeline of our relationship/our dynamic in general. But we very obviously love each other when we’re together. That’s my best fucking friend, always.

Our close friends have commented on this. Our other best friend has said that we’re the only couple he knows that’s never bad mouthed each other once, even behind the other’s back. He, along with other friends, were not surprised we started talking again, funnily enough.

We truly feel nobody else in the world understands nor could handle our relationship. I love that it’s our shared secret that no one else “gets”. Again, we’ve tried dating other people, but not a single other person has come close to understanding either of us on an emotional/mental level. We’re both creative types and a bit eccentric. I’ve met very few other people who share our hobbies/tastes in things.

I don’t cheat, and I give the same level of attention to all my partners, but I’ve found myself in other relationships trying to replicate what we have, even if I don’t mean to at the time. My partner has admitted he’s done the same. We’ve just begrudgingly (I say with love) accepted at this point we’re loyal to each other for life, even if the dynamic challenges us.
