They're controlling in their ways.
By Ruby Miranda — Written on Feb 10, 2020
Why bother doing something when you can get your partner to do it for you? Many feel this way, though it doesn't always pan out for them. The truth is, whether it's due to some kind of insane laziness or some lofty version of being spoiled rotten, many folks pass the buck on to someone else when it comes to getting the essential things of their lives done.
It's almost some kind of talent, this ability to have others do your bidding. Imagine being so spoiled that you're used to ordering others around to do your bidding? Imagine being so lazy that you need someone else to do the simplest of chores for you?
It's these selfish zodiac signs in astrology who take advantage of people, especially in their relationships.
If your partner is there and they can do the task for you, why do it yourself? If this feels right to you, then you are one of the selfish people who make their partners work extra hard while you kick back and watch Netflix.
These are the selfish zodiac signs who make their partner do everything for them.
1. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Aquarius was born bored of the world, above it all, and certainly not cut out for menial labor. Anything that requires actual work is beneath them, which makes it easy for them to know how to choose a partner; just look for submissive, moronic qualities in a mate — someone who believes you truly are superior and thus does what you tell them to do.
Aquarius is a huge snob, and mean too, and they spare no mercy to the partner who doesn't do what they're told. They make their partner do everything, and rarely, if ever, do they return the favor.
2. Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Well, of course Gemini makes their partner do everything... if they can hold on to a partner for more than a week, that is. Gemini, known for their constant and reliable inability to make up their mind, defaults all decisions to their partner. They cannot choose or commit to an action, so if anything at all is going to be done in the household, it's going to be the other party who initiates it.
Gemini is a selfish romantic partner who rarely considers the needs of anyone else. With this in mind, they leave it to the other person to figure out what to eat, where to go, how to dress, when to leave. If you know the expression "Honeydew," it means, "Honey, do this for me..." That's Gemini all the way.
3. Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Hard-working Virgo likes to come home and relax, and despite that fact that their hard-working partner wants the same, Virgo has none of that in mind. As soon as work is over, it's time to shout out the orders. The remote may be mere inches away from their hand, but for Virgo, that's exactly what they have a partner for: to fetch things.
Virgo is loud and abrasive, and they like to shout orders to their spouse. Virgo expects their partners to cow tow and fetch, and their partners always comply because, if not, they'd have to hear that nonstop nagging mouth of theirs.
4. Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Cancer is of the spoiled rotten crew, and when your entire life is all about what others can do for you, it's quite easy to get into the routine of bossing your partner around. Cancer doesn't want to sully their person by getting involved in all that housework, and they won't.
That's why they marry: to get themselves a built in slave who will pay the bills, clean the clothes, make the food, and live their life constantly on call for the next Cancer command.
5. Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
The laziest sign of the zodiac remains true to their lazy, slovenly way in partnerships. If there's a chore to be done, Taurus won't lift a finger. The dishes, the housework, the bills — all of it is tended to by their partner, never Taurus themselves. If it were up to Taurus, they'd live in their beds, shoveling food into their faces while their partners slave to keep the place in order.
Here's the kicker: Taurus also doesn't care to change. If their nasty habits end up having them living in a refrigerator box under a highway, then so be it. Taurus won't even notice. As long as they don't have to clean up, all is well in their world.
6. Pisces (February 19 - March 10)
If there was a Wimp card to be played, Pisces plays it every single day of their lives. For this reason alone (they're wimps), they need a strong partner who is willing to be to person who does it all. Some partnerships are about sharing, but not with Pisces.
They partner up with people who like to be abused, mostly folks who hate themselves and require round the clock punishment from a wimpy Pisces master. If you are the lover of a Pisces, you've probably fed them and changed their diaper. How romantic.
