Aquarius Men and Jealousy
If you’re in a relationship with an Aquarius man or are interested in starting one, you may want to know how he handles jealousy.
An Aquarius man can become quite jealous, but he’s not likely to express these feelings in an overt way. He may act defensively if you bring up the topic of jealousy or he may become possessive of you. Either way, he will struggle with talking about the situation, which could make it much worse.
Aquarius men don’t like to talk about jealousy because they are always trying to put a positive spin on things.
Jealousy is seen as a negative emotion, and your Aquarius man doesn’t want to be seen as someone who has negative feelings. So he’ll try to bury them deep down inside where you can’t see them.
He doesn’t like having a partner that is controlling or jealous, so it’s likely that the Aquarius man feels shameful about his own feelings. This can lead to him becoming emotionally distant and withdrawing from the relationship.
Luckily, controlling Aquarius men are nearly non-existent. Since your Aquarius man values freedom, he isn’t likely to try to hold you back or on a short leash. He will likely even try to give you the benefit of the doubt if he notices suspect behavior.
Since he is one of the most tranquil signs in the zodiac, he’s more likely to rationalize any situation and not let emotions take over. You can frame a conversation with your Aquarius man about jealousy in a positive light. He will be more willing to have a conversation about the matter.
10 Signs of Aquarius Male Being Jealous
Here are the main signs that your Aquarius man is feeling jealous in your relationship:
1. He Gets Defensive When You Mention Jealousness
Your Aquarius man won’t like to be confronted about his jealous nature. He may become defensive and try to change the subject. If you persist, he may become angry or act like it’s not a big deal.
2. He Acts Possessive
If your Aquarius man starts to act possessive, it’s a sign that he’s feeling insecure in the relationship. He may start to question where you are and what you’re doing when you’re not with him.
He may also want to know who you’re talking to on the phone or spending time with.
3. He Makes Critical Comments About You
A negative sign of jealousy in your Aquarius man is that he may start to make critical comments about you. He may find fault with the way you dress or the things you say.
This is probably because he can’t be honest with himself about his jealous feelings, so he may look for other areas of the relationship to pick apart.

4. He Doesn’t Want You to Spend Time With Other Guys
“You know, I don’t really think it’s safe to hang out with him.” Have you ever heard your Aquarius man say something like this?
This zodiac sign will have reservations and worries about you hanging out with other guys, even if there is nothing romantic going on. He may act possessive or just complain about the other guy.
5. He Plays the Victim
Since an Aquarius man isn’t very likely to get hot-headed, he will likely feel sorry for himself if he’s feeling jealous.
He may act like the victim and try to make you feel bad for him. This is his way of trying to get you on his side and elicit your sympathy instead of directly dealing with the issue.
6. He Acts Emotionally Distant
An Aquarius man is by nature an emotionally distant sign. If he’s feeling jealous, he may start to act even more emotionally distant than usual. He may stop talking to you as much or withdraw from physical contact.
An Aquarius man shows his feelings through silence and inaction, so this will be a clear sign that he’s not happy about something.
7. He Wants More Attention
If your Aquarius man acts clingy, it may be a sign that he is jealous.
He may ask to hang out longer, spend the night more often, and send you more text messages. He may also ask for praise and support more than usual.

Aquarius men tend to make up elaborate stories and fantasies in their heads.

9. He Acts Hot & Cold
An Aquarius can act hot and cold very easily. If he’s feeling jealous, he may start to act loving one minute and distant the next.
This is because he doesn’t know how to deal with his feelings and is trying to figure out what’s going on.
10. He Flirts With Other Girls
Aquarius men are notorious flirts. If he’s feeling jealous, he may start to flirt with other girls in an attempt to avoid the feelings of jealousy.
This can help him to take his mind off his thoughts about you while also making you feel jealous.
How to Make an Aquarius Man Jealous?
It can be a bit tricky to make an Aquarius man jealous since he is naturally quite free-spirited and doesn’t like to feel constrained. However, by using some positive and playful tools, you may be able to get him to show some of those jealous feelings.
One way to make your Aquarius man jealous is to spend time with your friends, family, or other guys. Your Aquarius man will feel like he’s missing out on the party and will probably ask you to invite him along.

What to Do When an Aquarius Man Shows Signs of Jealousy
Many of the Aquarius man jealous-possessive behaviors are quite avoidant, and he may even be in denial. This can make it harder to deal with the situation than it would be with other signs.
The best thing to do is to talk to your Aquarius love about his feelings. It’s very important that you approach the conversation in a non-judgmental way.
Let him know that you understand how he’s feeling and be supportive. Help him to see the brighter side of the situation. Let him know that by working things out, you two can have a better relationship.
He’ll likely appreciate the acknowledgment and will feel more comfortable opening up to you in the future.
Let him know if he has been acting in a way that is putting a strain on your dating life. Ask him to refrain from any possessive or jealous behavior in the future. If he can’t commit to this, then it may be a sign that the relationship isn’t right for you.
