You should just sit him down, and in a loving tone say "hun, I feel your demanding too much of my attention. You know I love you to bits but I am also a human being and I need to be allowed to grow outside of our love nest. This doesn't mean I am leaving you, on the contrary, you allowing me freedom will make me love you even more than I do now. However you stopping me from doing this just entrap me...and as you know entrapment never really helped anyone...I hope you understand and I am here to listen to your concerns whatever they are"

Ok golf aside, have you ever felt he hasn't given you enough attention or hinted at him to do so? Its not fair of him to demand this...however I feel he wouldn't be unless he had a good reason to. Also there may be a chance of him not having an addiction like you say and he needs to fill this void but turning his attention to you.

It can also be about control..I'll give you an example of my own...when I was with the Leo..(long term( he used to DJ every friday night..now for a scorpio girl this is a living nightmare as every living girl throws themselves at dj's...on top of that he was a good looking guy..so I really did wear him out by saying he gives his music too much attention and not me and if he loved me he wouldn't feel the need to have the ego boosted by chicks throwing themselves at him etc....in the end..he gave it up..whether it was for me or not I don't know but he did...and you know what, I preferred it when he did his own thing rather than spend all hours stuck to me. Hmmm..we can be a selfish bunch..

yes you are correct when you said, " Also there may be a chance of him not having an addiction like you say and he needs to fill this void but turning his attention to you".

But is this fair to me.... I never, "felt he hasn't given you enough attention or hinted at him to do so?" Every friend i have it always somthing he see in them he doesn't like ... I know they say the scorpio can read people very well however not everone is perfect.. He must trust me..
Thank you, by talking with you i can understand better he will notand doesn't have the abilty to change that part about him, it would taking away a lung for him

"We owned a small bussiness he was playing golf instead of going to clients.. the result of that lead to fincial problem.. I never told him to stop !! Just not as much..."


And so when the business suffered because of him, and you not saying anything to him about his neglect .. it is now you who will have to suffer his guilt for him.

You're his whipping post now ...

You say he should trust you .. why didn't you tell him that his addiction to golf was making the business suffer? Were you the one responsible for tracking the financials?

Trust sometimes, also involves tough love .. we trust our partners to tell us the truth, even if it hurts.

Why didn't you tell him that his neglect was hurting the business?

This is all just guilt .. he doesn't know where to aim it, and he certainly isn't going to fault himself .. you're it.

I hope you work things out..18 years of marriage is a long time and worth holding onto...but by that time, trust should've been established long before now.

However I do have one more suggestion..Scorpios can become bored of routine and everyday mundane things...if something is going too well, we need to cause some kind of havoc to mess things up just for our sick pleasure..When I am bored and frustrated I am guilty of making people suffer..Its not nice at all and I hate it..but I do it..this evil just possesses and can't be helped..when I see a danger of that happening I need to disappear.. to avoid irrevokable damage (is that a word? lol)...

It may seem really bizarre..but I think he needs the space too..more than he's letting on..however he seems to be taking his own frustrations out on you...

He is a true scorpio male that belives a wife should be at home at all times unless he is with her...

OOOOH 😢

Had a boyfriend like. I understand, they can make you feel so warm and wonderful and you kinda like that aspect about them, until you want a life of your own 🙂

See, that's what I mean. Telling your husband to trust you will only enforce his possessiveness. You need to literally create things in you life that you have to do without him in order to do things by yourself.

You are a gemini, will I'm part Saggie so I undertand the whole "I need space thing". Being joined at the hip with someone that you love can be rough ...

"He wants me to go out with him tonight ,, and im too depressed to go out.. i told hime to go by hiself... I have'nt shaved my legs , did my hair for days.. He knows im depressed, but he doesn't care.. He keeps on sayiing , Imgoing to make you feel sexy again.. He can't do it he is part of the problem and he does not understand that.."



You've got to be kidding? You say he doesn't care, yet, he wants you to go out and have a fun sexy night .. instead, you'd rather wallow in depression and say it's his fault. I'm beginning to see this from another angle ..

It just sounds like you are focusing on being depressed because you believe it isn't fair to you to be uplifted unless he puts forth the effort into providing what is fair to you, when in reality .. it's up to you to have the control in your life as to how you are to be treated by him or anybody else. It's not another persons responsibility to make the decision of how you are to be treated. And if you give them that power .. then you set yourself up to suffer the consequences of being a victim.

"Just tell P angel, im sorry for making her upset with me and running out"


Don't worry about that .. I'm not effected by other people emotionally, unless I choose it to be so.

My leaving had nothing to do with feelings, rather, futility ..


You're a new member here, and came here to address your issues, and probably haven't gotten the reception you expected .. apologies for that. It would probably be more beneficial to you to address this on the Gemini board to find out how other Gem females would handle your situation since they are likely to have similiar emotions. There are several Gem women in here with Scorpio men .. they would probably be able to relate with what you're feeling.

Good Luck.
