Jealousy, etc.

Just how bad is a Scorpio's jealousy, possessiveness, etc.? Do they fear it? Is it possible they can keep it at bay? Can a Scorpio love you and not have or show these traits?

Most excellent question. I think that everyone is different and unique, bit having said that, I also believe that Scorpios tend to engage in relationships after a lot of push and pull, testing, re-testing, and will tend to assert their dominance in the relationship. Their way or the highway. I have noticed in the Scorps I know, that their jealously is real, but so is there confidence. So, in other words, once in a relationship, after having some reassurance of complete and total loyalty from the other, they are somewhat secure that their mate will rmeain faithful. However, should there be cause for jealousy... beware.
Being a cap and madly fallen over a Scorp, I have not even made it past the testing, and I'm being worn down. Although being a cap, I play the power game probably just as well, as also suffer from bouts of jealousy. But mine are based in insecurity, the scorp on domination. Just thoughts, not really answers I guess...

Thanks for the response. I guess what I really want to know is if a Scorpio thoroughly trusts his mate would there still be signs of jealousy?

I am a Scorpio and went out with a Cap guy for 2 1/2 years. I loved him dearly and trusted him implicitly. However, when he would go to his fraternity parties where there would be alot of sorority girls I would still get jealous. We worked on this issue for many years. I have insecurity issues, and although I had complete faith in my boyfriend, I couldn't help but feel jealous at times. Hope this helps answer your question.

But how can you trust a person implicitely and be jealous at the same time? I think I understand what you mean, but then maybe it is not jealously, maybe it is possesiveness. Maybe the fear is not that scorp fears their mate will have sex with someone else, but that they be with someone else, find someone else interesting, have fun with someone else? Just a thought.

It is a combination of all of the above, and also, yes, it is very possible for us to be in love with someone and still show signs of jealousy, in fact I think that's when we show it most, because the mount of our jealousy often is in direct correlation with how much we care for the other person and don't want to lose them. We are also possessive. We run hot and cold, icy then hot. Just my 2 cents... : )
