Venus/mars in composite synastry and progressed charts

I have a guy that I have amazing energy with. In our synastry and composite we have Venus trine mars at an orb of 3 the composite and under 1 on synastry. On progressed to natal we have a Venus square mars that will not change throughout our lifetime. That means that outside forces will keep us apart? Am I assuming correctly? It’s incredibly frustrating. We are so comfortable together and the energy between us is amazing but he never makes a move. And to top it off when things get intense between us I don’t see him for months. Yet I can’t stop thinking about him.
