Is there something about arguing that Scorpios love? I make concessions, tell him he's right, he calls immediately if I drop the conversation via text.
I wish it was a new argument. Even when we're talking about something random, BOOM there it goes again. If I say I don't want to go near a subject; it MUST be discussed even in a round about way. WTH? Worse yet, we're not even having sex. I just think he loves the tension

some people are like that, sometimes they like the tension to build up causw it makes the release feel a lot better and keeps the mystery alive, but it's still shouldn't be justified to interfere with your feelings toward each other

Does he not believe ur sorry? Like you might've said it but maybe the actions he feels are not being quite shown?
Whatever it was it triggered him deeply then

Looks like abandonment issues from his family history.
I understand his feelings not his actions. The grudge this is a new dynamic, I don't get. I usually leave people alone if I feel they are going to hurt me. Reliving pain over and over again is a miserable thing to do to oneself.
He replays these movies in his mind of injuries from people. I understand the pain part. I just try to replace the feelings of pain by moments of recovery. That's very short lived. He's a good person and I really like him, but it's like inviting someone to live in hell with you

Thats the infamous self stinging to the death scores are so famous for. Only because a deep pain was triggered
Did u break up once n came back?

Yup!
The roller coaster is hella annoying. If I threaten to leave, I better leave; if I stay, I'm bound to be punished

He doesn't trust u got what it takes to be there for the long haul. Unfortunately it's testing as self preservation what hear the sabatoge.
U need to be in a good place urself ( the heart space) n have a discussion about how u love him but his pushing u away is making it very difficult. That u want to be there for the long run n to please not self Sabatoge.
Since it's his trigger he will get emotional soy must remain calm firm n solid.
Don't threaten to leave if this continues
Instead just affirm that his behavior is a detriment to what both want

Thank you for the advice. I jokingly said last night, how are we going to be married if he doesn't let this go. He relaxed a bit. But I can see the ambivalence within himself. With me he is trying but the push/pull is more internal. My problem is I can feel it and he wants assurance that feels like infinity. My intentions are pure. He knows how I feel, I express it all of the time. His doubt is contagious

Aaawwww... I love the way you think Livictori

Thank you for the encouraging words. I hope he sees it that way. I think the fact we share the same moon and rising sign makes you understand me more.
