Trust & Emotion

How long does it take to graduate to this level? Do Scorpios trust and at the same time keep their emotions hidden?

Just venting here. Involved with a Scorpio (III) for the past six months. Most everything I've wanted in a relationship and I shouldn't complain, however, I don't think we are compatible on an emotional level. I've opened up to him on several occasions, but it's such a slow process on the return that I'm starting to feel like an idiot and why bother. I'm frustrated and wonder if I can continue. I've done/said everything I know to assure him but something's just not right. The snippets I receive from him are usually alcohol produced. He's assured but I'm not and it makes me uncomfortable. He has a difficult time with emotion and we've touched on the subject, but damn! I'm losing faith here. Whatever...

Hope everyone else is having a good Monday.

BEEN BURNED HERE, SO TAKE IT FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH. I'm involved with a very "unforthcoming" Scorpio male. I've found out the reason why is because he has had A LOT to hide. Don't know how experienced you are with relationships, but you might venture to do a little investigating on your own or rely on your keen intuition. It may be he's not telling you things for more reasons than just a trust issue.

Thanks for the attention to my post. I don't believe he has anything to hide (other than his well guarded emotions)and I trust him thoroughly. I've been to his place many times and have met some of his friends, etc. Perhaps he's been hurt deeply in the past. I just had to vent yesterday and like I said in my post, I haven't a substantial reason to complain only that I was feeling a bit insecure. Unfortunately, patience is not one of my better qualities.

Thanks again.

if patience is not one of your quality then forget it, from what i feel, this guy really needs a lot of time with you before he can open up to u..make him learn how to trust you, show signs that ur ther to listen and s***...beleive it or not guys are harder to open up to us issues or let down their "egos" but when they do you'l be surprised how much turmoil is running beneath...

I think that the basic difference between man and woman is not that men feel less; it's that they express less, so we rarely know what is going on beneath the surface unless we have the time and patience to form a close bond with that man...which will eventually lead to him opening up. So I see what Myztikal is saying there. You just have to decide how worthy this exploration is of your time. He might be, but he might not be--only you can decide that.

Again, I'd like to thank everyone for your responses and guidance. Unfortunately at times the big picture becomes somewhat out of focus.

My Scorpio phoned last night and had quite a lengthy conversation, based primarily on his workday. However, mentioned was that he sensed my frustration regarding said topic and apologized, very thoughtful. Both are aware of our differences when it comes to expression and his efforts do not go unnoticed. However, I refuse to watch him struggle for my reassurance, which causes the insecurity. I believe our relationship consists primarily of positive energy so to base too much on this one deficiency, is silly. We're both learning about each other and both look forward to new experiences together. Like said in my original post, I was venting. Every now and again the challenge of patience will emerge and on that particular day, I lost.

The different opinions from everyone are very helpful as always, and work their magic to knock things back into perspective. Thanks 204.167, Myztikal & Heather. The sky is again clear. Perhaps the next time I'll remember your words and won't lose the challenge.
