I am confused as hell about dealing with my ex, who is a Scorpio. We dated for 14 months and it was intense and for the most part, long distance. We have been broken up for 13 months and we’ve remained friends. Even though he lives across the country, we’ve seen each other twice since we broke up. He says he doesn’t love me “like that” but he is holding on for dear life. We don’t sleep together anymore, so it’s not about that. But if I don’t answer his calls or texts for more than a day, he loses his mind. He’s seeing someone, but he’s holding onto me for some reason. We’re very good friends, but it feels like more than that.

I suspect that the reason we broke up isn’t that he doesn’t love me. I think the distance was a huge factor and I also think that some things he’s dealing with in his life had him overwhelmed. And I think he got too close to me and it scared him. He even said once “You might as well go ahead and leave me. Everyone always does.”
I feel it in my gut that he loves me. I want him back, but I don’t know how to deal with him. I’m not the kind of girl who is desperate for a man, so it’s not that I’m hanging on because of that. I really do feel so strongly that we are supposed to be together. I have since I met him. I'm Pisces if that matters.

Advice?

Most of the Scorpios on this board in the short time that Ive been reading have all echoed how unfullfilling or undesireable an LDR is. Even the Scorpio I'm seeing has said that LDRs suck and he couldnt exist in them.

IF you can't cut down the distance, cut him loose.

My ex Scorpio told me the "distance" was getting to him as well. I don't know if he is so possessive he can't stand being away, or he gets bored. Maybe both. It's the strangest thing... Pisces and Scorp are good match. I'm on a Pisces cusp and most of our tiffs were due to my Aries side I'm sure ‚‚‚ I do miss him. He pops up every now and again. I have to just let him be and decide whether I want to wait for his indecisiveness or not. Sucks

I'd ice him. If he's that's scared, he's a coward, and if he can't deal with the long distance, he's a coward (if love is really what it's about), and if he already has another gf but is clinging to you and treating you like you're still together, he's a coward.

I think there are a good portion of private Scorpio cuddlers. So distance is a thing when you cannot cuddle the one you love. Even when in reaching distance:

Will I ever let on? No, it doesn't bother me, it just amazes me that there are people in the world who like that much physical contact, or maybe it's just because I am a generically cold bitch. (Screw you Taurus).

I'm a Scorp and I don't have an issue with LDR. I've had a couple. I don't want or need to be near the person all the time. If they're worth it then I'll make the effort and see if it's workable or worth it.
