Okay, I have a question... How do you get through to a STUBBORN SCORPIO MALE?

I've had one Scorpio that I posted about on here that was VERY STUBBORN, but I let him go. I have another male friend that I just came back into contact with after many years. We dated for a while when we were younger and recently hooked back up as friends.

We had a disagreement the other day and he is sooo stubborn!! How do you get through to a Stubborn Scorp? How do you get them to listen to what you have to say without getting them more upset than what they already are?

Is there anyway to get through that shell—

It depends on what the disagreement was about. They won't listen to you until they are ready to, no amount of pushing will achieve that. Just leave him alone and he will come back in his own time. Scorpios are extreeeeeeeeeemely stubborn.

I think hell has more chance of freezing over then for you to get your Scorpio to talk when he's being like that.

I have to agree with what all has been said. I had a pisces boyfriend, and found that he wanted to resolve things in the heat of the moment. It doesn't work like that with us scorpio's, we have to cool off, and think about the situation a bit before we can work with our 'other' on the subject. It's a weird thing but though you might think you're trying to resolve something, when you're in the heat of things, if you back us into a corner we'll lash out even more. But if you give it time to compute so to speak, we're more apt to see your point of view. It's all in the presentation as well. If you go about the subject ready for confrontation, us scorp's just don't back down from a fight. But if you are able to show your side of the coin without accusing, or backing into a corner, we'll be more receptive to working with you. At least I would anyway... 🙂

"Hells already been frozen over quite a few times.Its in michigan"
HAHA! true, literally and figuratively!
oooh, that makes me giggle, but as a michigander i can only giggle from May through October. lol it's no laughing matter when you have to drive yourself to school/work with one hand on the wheel and one arm pulling the driverside door closed because the latch froze OPEN!

grrr. or do i mean 'brrrrr'?

that was off topic, but i agree with everyone else. ive seen scorps react quickly, viciously and defensively when challenged the wrong way or interrogated. cooperate with their need to understand what it is that you are blathering about, what you want, feel, why, etc. time in these cases will calm and settle things, allowing reason to set in.

I am having this same exact problem with my scorp! We are both stubborn. He is more though. I dont mind giving alot but he has to give some too. I'm debating should I address him or wait for him to comr. I dont wanna appear weak and I want to stand my ground. Though its silly to me to carry negative energy if it can be resolved. I dont know what to do!!! help!

Wait it out..thats all I can suggest. He will be back trust me. I know I need space when I am like that otherwise I will destroy you with being absolutely evil. When I've had time to really get over the issue, I make an effort to try and communicate.
