How to break up with a Capricorn
Open PowerPoint.- Clearly type out the reasons why this arrangement does not suit your mutual interests.
- A graph would help. X axis = months from past to present. Y axis = the amount of satisfaction you have derived from the partnership.
- Define "satisfaction" as Return on Investment (ROI) of emotional resources.
- Quantify it, using a scale from 1 to 5, with 1 being " extremely dissatisfied" and 5 being "extremely satifisfied."
- Visually, there should be a clear decrease in satisfaction over time.
- Save presentation. Shut down laptop.
- Bring laptop and projector to Capricorn's office. Although you do not have an appointment, do not let Cap's secretary prevent you from interrupting Cap's quarterly meeting with the Board.
- In a calm and collected manner, run through your slides, clearly explicating the rational reasons for your need to dissolve the partnership.
- Open discussion for questions and answers.
- Closing words.
- Goodbye.

A reader emailed the following to me regarding this post:
"lmao. this is some sarcasm, im a cap, i would never expect a PowerPoint presentation in my life for something of worth. All Cap's want is to know, not because they need a reason to let you go, but to know of their own shortcomings. We thrive on reason, afterall reason is what keeps all things in the universe together, from the reason to get up in the morning, to the reason why we're here. if we lack enough of it in our lives, we deteriorate, and we wither away. at least we'll never be seen as completely mad..even the crazy ones can stay out of the ward. we're that good."
I'm an Aries woman, whose spirit was drained by my 8 1/2 year off & on relationship with my Cap ex. We have 2 children, we had an argument the day before we broke in where I told him anyone woman that wanted this could have it, he didn't come home until 5 am, after i called him repeated about taking my daughter to the urgent care center, because she had strep throat, so when he came home I told hm too go back where he came from packed up his things for him, and he's spiteful, vendictive, jealous, somewhat crazy every since that was 5 1/2 months ago, I begged him repeatly to go to counseling for all his anger, because it's all been directed me and our children. I wish we would have all got counseling before breaking it off, we we're supposed to get married this year so he constantly ask me why didn't we, why didn't it work out, but yet he'll turn around and do spiteful things to me and our children, so I guess I wish I handled it better, because he's been sending us through hell every since and now I have too move away because he refuses to get counseling.
I'm a Capricorn woman that was dating a Capricorn man. I broke up with him via email after I had seen in his email that he was also involved with 3 other women. I was very direct in telling him that I wanted nothing to do with him and his lies. I also emailed the other ladies and introduced myself to them and informed them of the others. Should be interesting for him to be dealing with the fallout.
^^you're my idol=]...I am starting to believe that taking the high road is over rated. But every time I have these thoughts [somebody whispers TAKE THE HIGH ROAD in my ear] so I do what's right.
*ignore what I just said [except the idol part]you should of changed his password*
And the way to break up w/a Cap tell the truth, as a reader already said give a reason-hopefully that is all that is needed.
