What a Steady Captain is like in love

You’re clear-headed and decisive in love. You know what kind of person and relationship you want, and you say so. You want something long-term but don’t need to be joined at the hip; you’d rather both of you have your own careers and growth, and stand together on what matters. The people you choose are people you’ve carefully confirmed.

This is your biggest adjustment: one wants to be together every day, the other needs time alone. Agree on “us time” and “me time” up front and it gets much easier. One wants to lock in the future soon, the other wants to take it slow. This is where insecurity grows, so spell out what each of you expects.
