I'm an aries and my boyfriend is a scorpio and we are about to take our final exams. He doesn't feel confident with them at all, and he is too lazy to study. He says it's too late for him to start, he already feels like he lost his chance because he didn't start early enough. There are 2 months left, what is a plenty of time and I can help him with studying, but he just doesn't want to. I'm totally stressed about it, bc I want to help him so much but I don't want to force him to anything, I'm afraid to loose him that way. Maybe some of You can help me how can I motivate him? Thanks in advance

Hire/befriend/find a ridiculously hot tutor for him that is the complete opposite of you. That should do it. Or find him a study partner with the social skills to speak to his mind rather than bookread to him.

If you actually help him engage with what he's doing, he may just show interest. You can't just help a Scorpio, you have to find the person that they will listen to to help themselves, even if that person is a complete stranger.

ummmm... don't guilt him in to it..

don't use sarcasm and say " fine don't study!"

That will anger them, and push them away.

Usually we like to wait till the last minuet to study.

Or we start something then we don't finish it.

My suggestion is kind of sick

but if you trick someone in to thinking the dead line is earlier then it actually is...

then maybe they will do it...?

but the will probably find out and this will back fire. Scorpios want you to stand up for your self!

Tell them the truth. that this bothers you and it will make them admire you for it. But do so in a assertive but loving manner and don't judge or criticize them.
