Posted by busyeyes88I entered our birth stats into a chart generator and I got:
Blimey!! 3.5 years and you are still at the beginning stages. Don't move in. It will kill your relationship faster than the Titanic!! You sincerely need to work on your different energies first. I have mercury in Aries and it's pretty forceful, dominant and aggressive. Scorpio is a water sign and they intuitively feel things and express themselves without words. What are your charts like?




Posted by RabbitExactly; it sounds like you bend over backwards to try and change who you are while he barely moves an inch. I'm sorry this is such a difficult situation for you and I'm sure you love him. But this isn't real, honest love. He won't bend for you and he makes you feel badly about yourself. You deserve a relationship where you can be yourself.Posted by LunarMaidenThis.
Why do you try so hard?
Romantic relationships are supposed to enhance your existing happiness, not cause grief and force you to change who you are.click to expand



Posted by aerysWell he's just explained what it means. Gifts and other material things really don't communicate "love" to some Scorps. It's an emotionally driven sign. Awareness, responding to one's need and demonstrating it through action tends to tell them more. The problem however is he does not seem to be appreciating or willing to fully accept how you communicate affection. He also seems to be having difficulty accepting you for who you are.
...He said he does like it when I am affectionate with him because it makes him feel wanted but he believes I can get too much for him sometimes. It gets even worse when he's stressed out.
So he's mostly turned off by my careless and inconsideration when it comes to demanding sex and affection. He wants me to be more emotionally invested in the relationship, that he wants more than just my presence. I don't really know what that means. One of my languages of love is that I'll give gifts to those I love. I'll buy him a lot of things randomly. He says that doesn't show him I love him. His said his way of showing love is doing things for me, like opening doors or carrying my purse, making me breakfast.

Posted by aerysWell if this is how you feel it may not get any better unless you get some support outside of the relationship (e.g. counselling ----not advice from relatives or friends) to help you both learn how to accept and appreciate the differences in each other. If the two are willing (fire and water) they could actually learn from each other.
... I feel stifled and sad sometimes when we're together. Like I can't be myself around him and I'm afraid he won't be able to accept me for who I am and just be annoyed with me most of the time. I wonder if there are other guys who wouldn't mind how I am and actually love those things about me--who would want to watch out for me without lamenting about it because I'm careless. I do love and care about him. However, I've toned myself down quite a bit and I've been pretty unhappy thinking about how life would be like together in the long run.

No one should feel like they can't be themselves. Sure all relationships are about some degree of compromise to make the relationship flow smoothly, but it can not be about completely changing who you are. Especially if theses are the things you like about yourself.
At some point you may come to the conclusion that you can love someone and that doesn't mean you should be in a relationship with them.
Good luck.click to expand

Posted by busyeyes88I thought she was Taurean like you? Previous username was ScorchedEarth, as in earth and fire I assume, rightly or wrongly, I dunno!Posted by facerollAre you scorpio? You don't control the threads. I do have water in my chart and the intuitive feeling is similar. Not that I have to explain myself to you!
i didn't see busyeyes had responded until i posted. doni't really need a bunch of taureans telling an aries how to love a scorpio. *taurus out*click to expand

Posted by ReincarnationYes she would do way better with a fire sign. NO she should NOT act like a Cancer or Pisces!! She will only be more and more miserable having to pretend she's someone she isn't. She needs someone who appreciates her personality as she is, not someone who doesn't understand her (and he doesn't need someone who doesn't understand him).
You would be much happier with a Leo or a Sagittarius.
If you want to make it work, try to act more like a Pisces or a Cancer.

Posted by ReincarnationThe pull toward friction and sexual tension is just too great to settle for a more compatible partner.

Posted by 88akkaYou are such a sweet person. Just a fyi
OP,
I am a Pisces with Scorpio moon.
I dated an Aries and it was hell for me. Then I was with a Leo w/aqua moon and i felt the same way you feel with the Scorpio. I could never find the balance love and affection I was looking for, and sex with him just felt like sex, never love making and it would be frustrating for me. I walked away, and I wished I had the chance to come here during those years, I would have had more knowledge of a water and fire sign match.
The Leo was a sweet as he can be and he also felt like he never did enough to keep me happy, and I felt the same way back. now that I know more, I look back and I think a Libra, Saggittarius, or Gemini girl was more for him. I never was. The love was there but the connection and comfort never was. I hope he found a Fire or Air girl and is happy.

Posted by MoonArtistI can drive my aries female friend nuts she is totally opposite of me she can't understand why I do things the way I do and I can't understand why she does things the way she does, the worst thing she does things without really thinking them out fully.Posted by ReincarnationYes she would do way better with a fire sign.

Posted by Stihl46My childhood crush is Aries, and he still has a thing for me. We actually get along great, but it wouldn't work so well with the emotions, as he's more physical without the emotional. I have an Aries friend who I just adore: she's fearless, vivacious, thoughtful. Her and I would make great roomies. I do like the mature Aries people. They're so much fun!Posted by MoonArtistI can drive my aries female friend nuts she is totally opposite of me she can't understand why I do things the way I do and I can't understand why she does things the way she does, the worst thing she does things without really thinking them out fully.Posted by ReincarnationYes she would do way better with a fire sign.

Posted by 88akkaHe might be joking but she might not know that. She's an Aries, and his humor is pretty dry and stone faced. ~makes impromptu crosseyed dork face at Rein~Posted by MoonArtistlol, I think he is joking on that response for her to act like a pisces or cancer. I saw his reponse as telling her that where she stands right now, it will be difficult to be herself and has to act like someone compatible to him and it does not look any good.Posted by ReincarnationYes she would do way better with a fire sign.

Posted by aerysHe would always come back.... Hmmm..... It can be toxic, but addictive.... I love Aries personality. I love Aries hates negativity. The Scorpio guy won't leave you alone because he's in love with you. You have to tell him that it won't work out. Bring out the Aries in you and be blunt. He'll get it. The Aries and our relationship ended horribly. It was sort of over a misunderstanding that could've been avoided. Basically, he wanted to do what he wanted to, regardless of what I told him or how I felt. He felt like I was trying to control him, but I never told him what he could or cou
Thank you normallynow, phoenixrising, and 88akka, you were the most helpful and kind.
I've tried talking to him about it before, how different we are, but he would always laugh and be loving with me so then the subject would be dropped. He would never take me seriously. When life gets stressful, we don't know how to work with each other. We've broken up several times before when things got too hard and we would agree it was for the best. I would always hope he would stay away, but he always comes back and I never have the heart to say no. I know he is weak and he admitted it too. I heard Scorpios will stay in an unhappy relationship longer than most other signs. And he told me that I am the first girl he has ever been in love with and felt those crazy new love feelings for. So I can see why it would be hard for him to let me go. When things are good, they're amazing. We get along so well and the intimacy is the best.
But when life gets rough, I think that's when we're both feeling the most unfulfilled. And he's been pretty stressed out lately, so it affects me quite a bit. Sometimes I think if you really love someone, you will stick it out and support them. I know he would do the same for me, I guess. But then I think about the lack of affection and sex because he's either too tired or too stressed, which makes me feel unwanted and unloved, and I wonder if that's normal. If I'm compromising/settling because right now, it's hard to think about the good when there are more days where I'm wondering if he still loves me and feels the same. Then my jealousies come up and I get resentful for example when he can watch porn but doesn't have it in him to have sex with me. I need lots of sex and affection and I feel guilty/gross for wanting it so much.

The biggest things that annoy him about me: (1) I can be careless and unaware of my surroundings. For example, he gets really annoyed if I don't watch where I'm going. He always opens the car door for me and once, I accidentally closed the door too fast and hit him--that really annoyed him. And it hurt me when he brought it up like half an hour later. I felt clumsy and I was upset that it bothered him. I guess I can be too sensitive when people tell me I did something wrong. (2) When I'm too demanding about sex or physical affection. He told me that he likes it to be more subtle--but I'll argue that that's just who I am. I'm forceful and forward, typical dominant Aries. He said he does like it when I am affectionate with him because it makes him feel wanted but he believes I can get too much for him sometimes. It gets even worse when he's stressed out.
