They have many attractive characteristics in love relationship, such as kind-heartedness, considerate and responsible that can provide enough sense of security to their partners. However, they easily get hurt by others’ words and behaviors sometimes because of their sensitive personality. Thus, it is better not try to cheat them as far as possible in daily life. This always reduces their trust. In addition, they are willing to seek a simple and comfortable love life. Giving them enough space and appropriate distance is an effective way to keep love fresh all the time.

Your love compatibility is very high and it is easy for you to maintain a great relationship as long as both of you can be honest with each other. However, moving to new places is risky thing and you have to make it clear. Just follow your heart. If you are still hesitated, don't do that.

Both zodiacs his dragon and mine dog
Are saying we are not compatible. We have been together 10 years and it is challenging every day. Should we believe regarding compatibility and just let the relationship end? All the trades match per our zodiacs.

You should believe your relationship and have more confidence. Sometimes, the prediction is just a reference for you. Don't worry.
