Do you Scorpio females have a double standard when it comes to sexual fidelity (that's it's all right for you to be unfaithful, but NOT for your partner)? If so, why?

I come across men in general having that sort of double standard. Women do regarding other things in life but not usually fidelity.

Scorpio women are one-partner kind of creatures ....

I find it odd that a male asks this question .... especially one who calls himself dog

I ask this because I have sometimes read this about Scorpio females so I wanted to ask some about this. I call myself virgodog58 because I am a Virgo, Dog (Chinese astrology), born 28 August 1958.

i feel its not right for either me nor my partner to be unfaithful. i believe in true 50/50 relationships. i will break up with a person instead of cheating on them.

I second this....... if a person feels the need to cheat is obvious they are not happy in their current relationship ( beyond repairing); so, instead, do your current partner a favor and break-up with them so that they can be free to find someone thats will appreciate them better.

I agree. By the way the reason I asked this question originally is NOT because of any bitter personal experience but because I have heard this accusation made and wanted to hear what people had to say. Because I admire Scorpios in general except for this alleged trait.

i'm not proud of this at all but i have to say that yes, scorp females CAN be complete hypocrits when it comes to fidelity but it IS something that a good relationship can prevent.

the 'why' i can only cite in my case. firstly, i was very young when i got into a relationship that went on to last almost 20 years..10 of which we were married for. i want to emphasise that i didn't cheat when we had kids and subsequently got married. the reason i had before, and he has no idea to this day, is because it was a toxic relationship. like extreme. we both worked in financial markets and it was an agressive environment. we also met cos we're both musicians and that's a passionate environment. our home life had both agression and passion going on and it was a rollercoaster ride of extremes. from his part there was alcohol abuse. drug abuse. physical and mental abuse.

i kinda worshipped him rather than loved him in retrospect. i knew i would never leave him but it was so hard to live with him and to be honest, it was like i didn't exist in his world unless it was as a target for his abuse..and so i got validation elsewhere. i didn't have affairs cos that implies feelings were involved. anyway. enough said.

karma got revenge when i found out he had an affair 6 years before i finally couldn't live with what he'd done any longer. when i found out about him, i was totally floored. it wasn't the sex, it was the intimacy he shared with someone else, while he was treating me and the kids like shit. i forgave that and lived with it for 6 years....letting it eat away at me. he's now with her after i finally told him to go.

yes we can have double standards. we have to learn the hard way that this only serves to sting us in the end.
