~LEO + SCORPIO: DRAMA

To all Scorpios and Leos (an everyone in between)

I would love to hear your insights and advice on this dynamic relationship.
I am a true Scorpio female and Ive been in a relationship with a proud Leo male for about three months. (his venus is Cancer and is apparently romantically compatible with my venus which is Scorpio).
This man fell very fast in love with me and I have never been in such an emotionally intense relationship in such a short amount of time. Me being a typical introspective Scorpio, my intuition has told me many things about this man's character: his "must be the leader" attitude, his (sometimes false)pride, and his overly dramatic emotions. I consider myself to be an emotionally stong person personality wise and I am surprised how I sometimes find myself with my mouth shut and him doing all the talking when he 'takes over' conversations in his leading attitude.
I learned that he and I are powerful but my power is VERY different than his. He is "what you see is what you get", displaying his authority openly to others, and my power is more hidden and I reveal it when necessary (If pushed, I push back).I have learned A LOT about Leo men from this guy, including the good as well as the bad.
Arguments are.....how do I put this....Explosive?...We both have very strong tempers and tenatious minds. His temper is on the defensive side and once he puts that wall up it is much harder for me to get my idea through. He matches my personal strenth in character and we are both damn stubborn and hard headed when it comes to our opinions! Misunderstandings between us quickly led to loss of respect and trust on my side. I have calculated the overall situation and decided that I would rather end things for the better than be in a relationship that struggles for mutual understanding. I have tried to tell him time and time again that we do not understand each other---my perspective does not get through to his understanding and he thinks I am always hurting him--and yet when I am just asking to separate with peace he lashes out dramatically blaming his hurt on me then his pride starts talking.
I know this man really truly loves me deeply. However, with all the misunderstanding between us I think love is not enough. I cannot have someone say they love me and treat me with disrespect. Anyway I enjoyed reading previous scorp/leo posts and would love to hear feedback. Thanks for reading 😉

Hey Moon Eyes,

Thanks for your insight...your right thats the problem lol...it was an interesting relationship. When things dont go his way he complains and blames the world for everything bad and totally victimizes himself. Because of his determined attitude, He's not a happy cat when he realizes he wont finally get what he wants.

It's a power struggle taking place, instead of any work on finding the common/middle ground .. without that consideration from both parties, there will be no respect for each other because they're isn't any for the selves involved.

First a person has to respect theirself, by realizing they have limitations and not just strengths .. before they can even begin to respect another. Without respect, there can be no trust.

Without being able to trust another .. what's the point?


It appears to me that only point sought in this post is to attempt to make claims who is right and who is wrong = power struggle.
