Hey guys,
My first post here. Also, I don't know much about sun signs and astrology. Only have two Scorpio friends in my life, so very inexperienced, please bear with me ...

Not a while ago, I was struggling with my marriage and I was completely broke, when I approached my male Scorpio friend from college for help. He offered me a job under him, at his company; he had to pull a few strings to place me where I am right now and I couldn't thank him enough for that.

About a month ago, he shared with me that he had cheated on his wife on a few occasions. I was surprised he cheated because he loves his wife. A few weeks roll by, and to my horror, he started making moves on me like smelling my hair and lingering his touch on my skin. I told him, very gently that it makes me feel uncomfortable. Then last week after work, he grabbed me by my waist and if I hadn't stopped him, he would have pulled my top off. I sternly told him to "wake up, snap out of it, this is not happening!", to which he replied, "I can't stop because it's you cobra ... we only got one life to live".

Now never in my living life I know either of us has had any intentions to get together, let alone be sexually attracted to one another. So what is different now? My "vulnerability" because I approached him for help (to him, I am an unforgiving, ruthless goddess planning world domination), or his own marriage troubles? He was always that guy who wanted what he cannot have. Could it be that? But more importantly, if he tries this with me again, how do I tell him off for good without ruining our friendship? Or is it already headed down the drain? Any insights?

Thanks so much.

What you two have is not a friendship, but a "business" deal.

He got you a job and now you are supposed to give him your... hmmm... well, you know.

lol @ the "one life to live" bit. what an ass.

make it clear to him that nothing is going to happen. that you value his friendship, but not if he's going to disrespect you, him, and his wife. how he reacts will tell you if you should drop him or not.




Thank you exoskeleton, I initially felt I should do something along those lines. We've been good friends since we were teens and growing up, we grew to respect each other. Like I said this has never happened before. If he is battling demons right now, I want to help him, but not at the cost of our friendship. But if he has outgrown our friendship and is simply being opportunistic I should know to quit.

So how do I know why is he doing this? He can go cheat with other women all he wants, but why does he want to disrespect me? I'm nowhere in the picture ...

Hmm guess you're right about that "business deal" BluesSandCacoon, maybe in our subconscious minds we have turned into business partners rather than remain friends.

if some guy described me as "an unforgiving, ruthless goddess planning world domination", I imagined he'd be scared shitless of the consequence of tugging at my top.

something is missing from this story.



That was from a long time back when I used to be a vengeful, stubborn, unruly teenage girl. Yes I was scary and people would always think twice before crossing my path. World domination comes from my ambitions; like at 15 I wanted to leave town, move to the city and start my own business.

What is missing from the story is how did we drift apart, when did we stop being friends and become lustful adults with personal agendas. What am I missing here...

Maybe she feels like shes indebted to hin



No, I don't feel like I owe him. But that is not to say that I am ungrateful.

Right now I am confused and upset that it has come to this. I don't have many friends and the few that I have are very dear to me. Then again, I'm not a playtoy for anyone and if someone I trust and respect pulls something like this on me, I wouldn't hesitate to, like you put it, "kick him in the sac!"

It is she who has cast the net...



Because what she got two jugs and a fannie?? But the poor guy has got no brains, falling prey, because all blood from his head has been drained into his pants, and so the net theory justifies itself!!

Then kick him in the nutsac! After he touched you the friendship is long gone!!

Wow, I'm sorry this happened to you, but yeah the minute he started making moves on you and crossed boundaries he shouldn't have crossed, the friendship was down the drain and more than likely so is his marriage.

I agree with DMV and TaurusBelle. You better start looking for new employment.



Thank you Marrakesha and all you guys too. Seeking new employment is a sound advice. My Virgo friend however thinks I should stand ground and fight! Guess I am dealing with two things here - the situation itself and this change in him. Right now, I am trying so hard to keep my head above water, keep faith in humanity, that kind of stuff. Guess this will be another important lesson to learn.

Yes that is how I feel right now, angry and upset. But I cannot find my wrath just yet; part of me wants to slap him in the face and ask him "what is wrong with you, jerk?" I don't care about the job, I've been in dumps before, I can look after myself. But I want to know why. This wasn't something he could throw to the wolves.

unless, of course...you actually like this attention and are hoping for something more than friendship.



:o) that can't be true, because I know me and I'm not the cheating type. A man's loyalty is tested when he has everything. A woman's loyalty is tested when her man has nothing - this precisely is my story.

you guys share way too much personal information with each other about your partners.

you allowed these boundaries to be moved.....now it's up to you to put them back in place.

I agree, I will have to put those boundaries back in place, even if not for saving the friend or his friendship, but for my sanity and self-respect. Thank you!
