Leo hurt by a Scorpio, need advice !

So I've been with a Scorpio , today it would have been 10months. He recently just broke up with my last Tuesday. Around the 21st he started telling me he was sad and wanted to see me more often than usual. He almost metioned he felt really stressed and could feel himself getting depressed. He would always tell me that he didn't wanna feel like that and I always tried to assure him things will be okay and reminded him I was here for him . The weekend of the 26th comes around and he starts getting short and distant with me . I didn't pay much a attention to it or let it get to me cause I usually notice this happens when he gets stressed so I just continued to be there for him when ever he felt like talking . Monday night comes around and he starts being really cruel , even tells me to stop being so boring and make conversation with him.. next day (Tuesday) he asks when can he see me again. I tell him Wednesday and asks him if he'd like to go with me to church after I get off of work. He replies " no I don't like being told how to live my life" I replied "okay that's fine" BOOM! That was it , he blew up from that one reply and said we needed to end things around , that this relationship was too much . For the rest of the day it was like a volcano erupted , said the most fucked up shit I've ever heard come out of his mouth.. including he wanted nothing to do with this and insisted he needed to move on with his life . I begged and after a while just didn't even reply anymore the next day . He texted saying sorry that he has been super stressed and irritated with everything . And says if I wanna talk we can do this the right way. I didn't reply . I haven't heard anything since Wednesday and it is now Monday .. I'm freaking out . I feel like I lost him and I'm serious going insane. He's been trying to make me jealous on social media acting like he's over me . I'm so hurt where did all this come from? Please someone give me advice . I love this man . We never cheated or ruined our trust . So what's going on? I'm so confused and hurt and can't stop thinking about him! Will he come back!?

Something's wrong here. Having been close with Scorpios and dated one myself, this type of behavior only spells trouble. He's either creating problems that shouldn't exist to test you OR he's trying to actively push you away for some reason.

Either way, I suggest that you back off from this guy. Never chase someone who actively pushes you away and refuses to communicate with you like an adult. The person must know that you have enough self respect to leave if they mistreat you. Therefore don't reward his behavior with more of your time and energy. There are a number of reasons why he could be acting this way:

1) It's possible that he's creating problems because your relationship was too "tame". Scorpio energy thrives on intsense passion and deep emotions. As a result less evolved Scorpios have a tendency to stir up arguments and drama to feed on that negative intensity. Nothing may wrong with the relationship, but he could be creating intensity out of boredom and lashing out. This of course is hurtful to you and a terrible approach.

2) Some Scorpios can be paranoid and obsessive at times. For some of them if they think a relationship is too good to be true, an insecure Scorpio will start poking holes to find the "truth". This is because Scorpios deep down are afraid of being hurt and would rather end things on their own terms if a relationship appears to be going south (even if that's all in their heads).

A relationship that is too pleasant may seem fake to them, which scares them. Scorpios are always seeking the underlying truth, that dark secret that no one else knows. If they think their partner is putting on a facade, they will obsessively attempt to uncover it

3) Insecure Scorpios will also create issues in the relationship to see how willing you are to hold on to them. This is their way of "testing" your loyalty. The problem with this logic is that it all stems from insecurity and should not be rewarded with any valdiation. By validating this behavior, you risk having him repeat it.

4) Astrology aside a person may acts this way when trust/fidelity has been broken (on either side). If you weren't unfaithful to him, it's possible he's not telling you the entire truth. He could be pushing you away because of something did. It's possible that HE went outside of the relationship and is too much of a coward to be honest. As a result in his mind it would be easier to push you away and make you seem at fault instead.

Bottom line is if you think your Scorpio is doing any of this, the best thing to do is to walk away from him. Let him deal with the consequences of creating problems out of thin air. You can't have healthy relationship with someone who can't act in a healthy manner.

Also if he's actively trying to make you jealous, it shows what type of person he is. A person's true character is often revealed during a time of hardship and pain. He's clearly passive aggressive, so don't feed into it. The most powerful response you could have is absolute silence. Take your focus off of him completely and build youself back up. He should be the one worried about losing you, not the other way around.

I assure you, if he found out that you were moving on with your life and opening yourself to new possibilities, he wouldn't be happy. He'd probably retalitate by either trying to make you more jealous or by confronting you directly. Just do your own thing. If he comes back, then you can call the shot. If not, then you didn't need a guy like this in the first place.

People with depression will have moments where they lash out, they'll up-heave their own lives and ending relationships is one of the more common things they do. If the scorp wants help he should try seeing his doctor about what things he can do and give anti-depressants a shot.

Right now, for you, the question is do you want to still be with this guy? Dating someone struggling with depression is a huge undertaking that requires an insane amount of self-sacrifice. You'll have to have the patience of a saint and the empathy to match. I honestly don't recommend pursuing him until he's gotten the medical help he needs.
