1st (leo)- was puppy love and lust. Became best friends forever after some time passed.

2nd (aquarius)- he thought i was going to cheat (which was never true)so he broke up with me. My pride never allowed me to fight for it. Became friends after years later. We could reignited but I was on & off with 1st Aries so it was too late. Aq man is married now so wish him the best.

3rd (Aries)- ended up being a lying/cheating PoS

4th (Aries)- best bf ever but got cold feet when moving to next phase of relationship. He changed after.

Needed too much attention from too many people. Huge friend circles will kill a relationship. Also they couldn't withstand my crazy on a bad day. I'm fine for months, but one day everything will fall apart and that day will be terrible. I've yet to meet a person besides friends and family who stick around after seeing my worst. I end every relationship myself though. I just break things then completely withdrawal, and they just disappear.

My first ex is my ex because he was very controlling and didn't respect my boundaries. He had a great sense of humour but it wasn't enough to make me laugh through it all. He was in advertising and very superficial and only wanted to hang out with friends who were rich and higher up in social status and I felt like the only reason he wanted me around was to make his life feel more complete and make him look good. I never got along with his friends because I wasn't "cultured" enough, it was a total "pretty woman" scenario....anyways I ended up breaking up with him because he cheated on me with the only friend I had and at that point I was happy to because I had enough.

so in other words you push people away and then when they leave wonder why they didn't come back?

Scorpio moon I presume?

Kind of. More or less I just have a tendency of taking something nice that I worked hard for then destroying it because I feel I'm undeserving, or it felt too easy to achieve.

Sometimes I do accidentally do sting people, then when I chill out I don't understand why they let me chase them away.

I'm beginning to understand Scorpio moons a bit more based on my observations, research, and people like you who I come across. I see an inherent pattern, self-destruct to 'reconstruct'. I don't judge you because it's in your nature and it's embedded in your subconscious.

That Phoenix quality of coming up from the ashes continuously (life cycle) is part of your nature. You see beauty and wish to turn it to ashes because Scorpios are responsible for bringing out the ugly out of beauty; to transform it into something else and this reflects in your relationships. It's also part of your insecurity that fuels this need to deconstruct or destroy a beautiful thing to save yourself from the pain. That darkness in you needs to be balanced with light, so finding a partner who can tolerate your darkness and cast you out of the shadows without judgement, is ideal for a Scorpio moons. I think this is why they tend to be attracted (even Sun signs) to Geminis, because Geminis are the everlasting Peter Pans, full of wonder, joy, and eternal youth. They have a quicker turn over rate if they're feeling depressed, something that Scorpios wished they had and crave. They feed off of that Gemini energy (as a lot of people do). You need to find someone like that with staying power, someone with heavy earth placements, preferably a Capricorn.

As far as the stinging, you might not realize the power you have to sting people. (What's your sun sign btw?) You have to understand that the Scorpio has a powerful and poisonous stinger. When you get stung, you will naturally run away, coil, or avoid a Scorpio if you ever come across one again. Your trauma on that stinger is what makes you feel repulsed by it. This is how people are when you sting them. Because Scorpios are emotions, they attack via emotions due to their innate ability to get into your core (depths) of your personality. Superficiality is not in your books especially if you have another concentrated (FIXED) sign as your sun sign. So you go in deep, you don't injure to hurt them, you injure to destroy them. Going into the depths of someone's heart should not be taken lightly and as a Scorpio moon it's your responsibility to be aware of that power you have.

You Scorpio moons are loving, loyal, and amazing people. But just as you guys have that ability to be amazing, you also have that ability to distance people you care for. People flock to you because of who you are (positive qualities) and love you deeply for it. But can't bare with the pain associated with your rejection (stinger). In other words, you can say really cruel things that can push people away because you destroyed part of their souls. (Hade's powers)

Damn that's all really spot on with the deeper parts of how I feel, and what I see myself doing from an outer perspective. My sun is Leo.

I do have one question though,

what do you mean by "I'm fine for months, but one day everything will fall apart and that day will be terrible."

Just when I start to express dark cynical times for myself or humanity as a whole, which is actually the opposit of how I truly am or feel. It probably scares people, but I have little to no outlet to filter things. That's likely why when writing things I have no filter.

I decided I didn't want to marry him. It was like the timing was just wrong for us, he had already been married and had a family and at first it wasn't a big deal. However I started really considering what if down the line I wanted to have kids of my own and do I really want to be a step mom and the fact that he had already been married would take away some of the allure to us getting married since it wouldn't be his first.

In the end I'm happy I walked away because now I'm with a man that I'm more compatible with.
