Why is that?

Why do Scorpios often seem difficult in relationships

Scorpios can be intense and emotionally guarded, which may sometimes cause misunderstandings. Their loyalty is strong, but they often need reassurance and clear communication to feel secure. Understanding their need for depth and privacy can improve relationship dynamics and reduce conflicts.

Its like you could never do anything right with a scorp (at least this one). See, november scorp left last week wednesday for a business trip to durban, hours away. He calls every night to wish me a good night, so i decided to initiate things and surprize him... yesterday night i sent him a photo (me wearing some new nice sleepware) with a message that said- we (me and the twin set) will see you on tuesday (the day he is returning) and my red little friend is dying to meet you. I told her stories. He called within minutes just to ask who took the photo. What!? No its nice, thank you- nothing. That dampen my mood tbh.

Would you mind sharing that photo with us? We'll say thank you, in sincere hopes of making you feel better.

No!!! Lol. 1 pair of scorp eyes is enough. Its nothing sexy or special tbh, just me in my sleeping clothes (nothing lacy or sexy) sticking my tongue out at the camera being silly.

No wonder he was upset. I'm sorry he mistook your playfulness for something else.

Whoa! I JUST had a deja VU!!!
No kidding, really did.

R24, lmao, are you trying to kill me with laughter? Everybody is looking at me now laughing alone, lol. +we+ = me + sleeping clothes, +her+ = sleeping clothes, im not about to name them him. And i explained everything in brackets for him coz i know how he always turn things negative. But he still managed to be negative regardless. Lol again @ that explanation. Hahaha

Oh and little red friend is the set i was wearing, it is red and little, lol-thought it would be obvious to him who i was talking about. The other scorp is his friend, not mine. I only saw him (other scorp) while with him, never alone.

Elle, woo i can see now why these two signs are square, youve lost me completely. How am i being critical and cynical? All i did was sending the guy eye candy and tried to make him anticipate our meeting today. I didnt know that scorps hate surprizes, i cant live without them so thats gonna be a problem. The rest i kinda understand.

Elle, what mixed signals? This is a different chapter, not even the same book, library sections apart. There was nothing slutty about the photo, i was just playing around and decided to show him that i was thinking about him. He is into martial arts and ive seen him practising, so i decided to take a photo of myself posing one of his moves while sticking my tongue out. I dont see how that could be seen as slutty or sexual at all. Capgirl, this other girl i befriended at my flat took it.

And im still having sex with him (its not like i stopped after, we do sexual things, nothing too dirty, i dont act virginal-i just dont wanna be called names)and he doesnt seem confused then- the mixed messages (confusion) part is confusing me. I never heard him whispering +im confused+, he is very alert then.

Capgirl, i just dropped the phone on him, why should i explain anything? Whats more important, my gesture or the photographer? Seraph, i got 11th house aqua sun, 8th house scorpio moon, saturn, mars and pluto, 10th house cap mercury, sag venus, uranus, neptune in 9th house.

Melly, im listening but ill ask questions back in order to understand what they are saying. Is that a wrong thing? Im not a scorp so some of their actions are foreign to me, thats why i ask. And im not gonna say yeah a thing is true when its not, regarding myself that is.

R24, and they say aquas are crazy. I dont think so, lol. Scorps are the crazies of the zodiac hands down. If it was the other way around, i wouldnt even care if a monkey was behind the lens. We are sooo different. He is coming over later even thou i told him to get lost for now. He says he has something for me. See he has surprizes for me but i cant surprize him. Oh, the double standards of this sign! The difference is that i adore surprizes unlike him. I wonder what it is, maybe he bought himself a fun goofy side, who knows? I cant stand too much seriousness but hey im staggering (not yet fallenin love) for him ,so ill just swallow whatever. He is driving me crazy sometimes.

Seraph, its like ur in my head, thats exactly what i was thinking. Capgirl, if i need an attitude adjusment so does he. I need to be respected and trusted-i dont appreciate being doubted without a reason. And i really dont feel like i should explain everything to him. He knows i have friends, any of them could have taken the pic, (which?)i dont need to explain that. And i didnt like his tone, it was accusatory which is why i hung up. U have good argument thou, point taken. Lol @ your jealous leo ex, wtf? Haha

Melly, its not ONLY about him, i need understanding too from him. I like being spontanious and i dont like to explain every little thing, its too exhausting- he should understand that and not interview me. Im trying here, im really, really trying- i ignore a lot of things he does that annoy me.

Capgirl, lmao, no way! How observant of him, the gem. Cancer moon is like listening to a blues singer-whoohoohoowhoowhoo and u just wanna say, dont worry, be happy. My taurus bff with that moon is so emotionally draining that ive been avoiding her for 3mnts. Sad violin music plays when she enters a room. Arg

Elle, here is the thing, i love entertainment ur right, but it needs to be intertaining 1st before im intertained. Im my own number one intertainer, ever heard me laugh in an empty room just to hear echo-laughter? I entertain myself best, everyone else comes 2nd and 2nd place is 1st loser according to my aries ascendant.

Demeter, i dont do favours in relationships and i like ppl who are different than me, im happy with him and i dont expect him to change at all. We have different personalites and all we both need to do is adjust to our differences. He is a nice guy

Ohh darling.. Some guys are nice, but still we feel what we feel. And nice guys may not be the right person for YOU.
But anyway, people from outsie can only have an opinion based on their own experience and perceptions, but naturally your opinion is the most important one.

I am all in favor of good communication and working out differences. You feel like he is deserving of your affection, and that is enough for now.
So my advice would be to let him know that you are uncomfortable with his suspicious mind and that you just wanted to share something special and intimate with him and his response was hurtful because all you wanted was for him to know you were thinking of him?

Good luck honey 🙂

It hurts us to be away from our loves. You can never, NEVER understand if you aren't a scorpion. We will always be suspicious and angry when we're away. Our kind are very possessive. We obsess over our loves, its just our way. When we finally find monagamy, we want to keep it forever. I have rarely found it myself, but if I ever found someone that I could love forever... I can't even describe the feeling I would have. I would want to give them the world, BUT I WOULD DESTROY THE ONE WHO WOULD TAKE THEM FROM ME.

Heh! I am a scorpio and I love my freedom!
I just trust the other loves me! Now, fear of losing them (like they die..) now.... That is another issue! LOL

Lol, I would have had the same reaction.
Scorps are:
1. jealous and possessive (but you said "we" after reading "we," it would cause an instant blood rush-- the green eyed monster has been aroused from slumber and is wanting out of its cage to go on a rampage to do unspeakable things--this does not facilitate clear, rational thinking)
2. we are observant about your patterns of behavior (you upset his homeostasis by initiating/surprising/catching him off guard)
3. we are paranoid and suspicious with the glass is half empty out look when it come to relationships (being paranoid, it is unlikely that a scorp's first assumption that the "we" you mentioned is a personification of your bed sheets; we would want to know who the hell is drinking out of the glass, cuz now it is 3/4 empty-- its our damn glass! [even tho it isn't really but see #1]; you said "her" so being paranoid, wtf?, damn, she's bisexual and is playing lickety-split with chicks as soon as I leave town!; you mentioned another scorp in your life. maybe that one is just a friend, but did I emphasize paranoid and suspicious enough, lol
4. we are private (who the hell is your little red friend? not presuming another inanimate object that you tell stories to here)

So he wants you to clarify. Then he can soothe that green eyed monster into going back to sleep. Then you will possibly get an its nice/thank you

Let's try this again.....

Agree with this 99.9 percent with the exception of what would trigger my response. While I agree I can be very suspicious, the word "we" isn't what would bring this out. As soon as I saw that you're hands weren't hold the camera, I would want to know who the hell took the pic. Honest, I probably wouldn't have even read the word "we"....*see picture, big smile, tic, tic, ti--wait, who the f*ck took this, frown, ask: "who the hell took this?!"* after your answer then I would read what you wrote, JUST to see if there are any holes in your answer. *Who the hell is "we"?...why did she put "we" if ...etc.... I know, I know.....so little time, so many issues.

I think I get what Elle is saying now....*shrug* Why ask to understand a Scorp if you really don't care? You may, but this question you've asked comes off as though you don't.

If you would have sent the pic to a any other sign in the Zodiac there wouldn't have been a problem.

Now, I don't think that's true, I was in a relationship with a Leo last year and he would have roared me down if there was a question that I was not alone when I took a pic for him. lol. One time he got upset because he came over and thought that my blinds were broken in my bedroom and people might be able to see.

+1, but in my case I was seeing a Gemini and it was a drapery rod that fell down. And when I did send him a pic of me he most definitely asked. Tried to be a detective about it rather than just come out and ask me.

There are some people who make threads just to get as many replies as possible, im not like that. Im over this thread now because even thou i seemed to be not listening at 1st, i compiled everything i heard here and went over it in my mind to make some sense out of it and now i can say- i have a better understanding of scorps. Thanks to everyone who made an input and to all your comments.

The above goes up to Elle (u know i love u, lol), Elly for always being so kind, R24 humour gets to me best, THE LEO GUY (sorry i forgot your name, honey), but your astrological view on this shed me some light, Demeter- for being sweet and understanding. And to all the others too, thank you.

Capgirl too (thanks babes), we have the same mercury, so we basically speak the same language, lol- i understood. To scorps- if i make a thread here, it is not bcoz im making up stories or seeking attention like some other ppl, i genuinely need advice. Do u know how much it costs me just being in this site? I live in africa, money is an issue. I dont play games nor am i bored irl, i just come here to be with all of u guys and learn a few things, the people in my life i see them everyday, but i may never see any of u- you all are still part of my life regardless. I love all of you, even the haters, lol. Thread closed.
