Posted by LadyNeptuneI love him doe his soul for starters. But also bc he pushes me to limits in a good way. I do stuff I was always afraid of doing. He makes me feel safe. And bc with him I have a feeling of what love really should feel like
He sounds exhausting. Why do you love him again? Like what are his good traits, what's he bringing to the table...?

Posted by LadyNeptuneI think this hits home really close as I had that same thought a week ago. I got a chance to know him, but not the other way around.
Your censoring your words and reactions around him, walking on eggshells. If you can't speak your mind then how can he claim to love you. He doesn't even know you...

Posted by PootyButtPosted by 13thIt's interesting that you associate love with dependency. Do you mean that you become dependent on that person as in they can leave and break your heart?
Who wouldnt be afraid of love....Who in their right mind would want to be dependent on another human being? If I fall in love it'll be by mistake lol Oh, sorry OP, I dont have an answer for youclick to expand

Posted by AliensusedourbogrollWhy would you ask that? ?
Has he hit you yet? Or been physically intimidating?


Posted by AliensusedourbogrollThis could be true. I know he could panic if we were to leave 5 minutes later then planned. One time his gps lost signal and he became a bit moody bc he wasnt sure he was driving right, even after his best Friend assured him we werr. His silence in the car spoke volumes.
He's not afraid of love. He's afraid of not being in control.

a) she is not the people who have hurt him in the past,
b) it's not fair for her to be punished for past hurts of his, and
c) pointed out that she has been trustworthy thus far.
Instead she reaffirmed his bad behavior and paranoia by choosing to not address it. At this point why would he magically change?click to expand

Posted by PootyButtTrust me, it's not that great to be rationale sometimes. It would be simpler for me to be able to empathize more from an emotional stand point, but logic overrules all most of the time for me. I have been called "cold" far too many times cause of it, and relationships have not worked out for me cause they believe I don't care enough. It's a definitely a double edged sword.
Well, yeah, but one does also learn from experience, and we're not always rational about love. I'm jealous that you can be so rational.


Posted by IridessariesEveryone's been hurt before. To be betrayed and betray is human. He's letting these negative experiences be his crutch, and you allowed it by playing into that behavior.
He told me about his insecurities and how people had severly hurt him in the past, that It's hard for him to trust anyone.

Posted by IridessariesThen at a certain point you need to value yourself enough to walk away and give him the space to realize his insecurity is fucking things up so he can start valuing you.Posted by LadyNeptunePosted by nikkistarInstead of staying silent or fueling his behavior by constantly reasuring him each time he got insecure, the op should have reminded him firmly that...Posted by PootyButtNot really, for me.Posted by nikkistarIt's a great motto.

The second mistake is the her boyfriend being a royal bitch, and assuming she is going to do the crap his ex did.
So each were too passive.click to expand

Posted by LadyNeptunePosted by IridessariesHow should I have done this? This is a sincere question. I told him and showed him daily. Not just words, also actions. The wrong actions? I work from home as a writer, so I was either there or he was here. I never hid anything from him. He could come over at all hours...
He told me about his insecurities and how people had severly hurt him in the past, that It's hard for him to trust anyone.
Each time he showed his insecurity was a chance for you to change a negative reaction into something positive. He was looking for reinforcement. You gave him passivity instead.click to expand
I did my own thing as well, so he could see I'd always come back. He was just so scared I'd meet someone else.

Posted by IridessariesAs long as you learn from this it isn't a waste of time. In the future you will see men who act this way as major red flags.

I guess you're right on that. He asked me many times to not give up on him. I never did and stayed. I promised him to not give up, so I stayed patient. That prob was a mistake. Bc now he left and I will never know if me leaving would've helpt. There's no saying he will back either.

But just by the context of how you write and communicate, you come off as a passive person. That's not a bad thing at all. However, you may have verbalized all of these things, but you told him in a passive connotation and probably with minimal force behind the words. You probably did so in a manner to soothe him, while reassuring him of whom you are.
That's what I see you doing with your Scorpio. I don't see you going full blow rage-fest for his illogical paranoia when it comes to you.click to expand

Posted by IridessariesYea, I think you having to censor yourself in front of him is a form of passivity.Posted by nikkistarNot offended ?Posted by IridessariesOP, please don't take offense to how I am writing this to you.

There were few times time I went into an Aries fit, true. But when I did, I DID ?
He was just always about not wanting drama, so I controlled my emotions in front of him. If I was home, I'd go full Aries but he never heard it bc I would just vent to a friend or thin air.
The few times time I went into an Aries fit he'd disappear or he'd apologize for acting stupid.click to expand

You should be allowed to be whom you are, and not have to hide those parts of you.
Not to the OP: On a completely different tangent, I guess my hint was taken since the horrendous comment was hidden. To go on a verbal tirade condemning a woman about looks and appearance (calling someone fat, grey-haired, and old is juvenile behavior), who's only error is to have the "audacity" to be in a relationship with a man they are currently lusting after, is grotesque and speaks volumes of your actual nature. And you wonder why he chose someone who "looks like that" over you. That answer is self explanatory with your abhorrent behavior.click to expand

Posted by IridessariesTo me, I think people need to accept the other individual for who they are, flaws and all. Perfection doesn't exist. You are entitled to make occasional mistakes. It's okay to be upset, and to vent accordingly. It's not only an astrological trait, because I suffer from bottling up emotions and then exploding at times.
I was myself and I wasn' t. I really enjoyed every little thing I did for him, I would have done this for the rest of my days. So that part was me. But yeah, keeping feelings in so he wouldn't be upset was not always me. I wanted to explode so many times. But I know from in my past, I could/would hurt someone when I did. So I've worked on that the last couple of years. I vented in other ways. Writing, music,... just everything to be the bigger person. Sometimes it still gets the best of me. When I'm really upset or hurt.
Yesterday e.g. I was very emotional and before I knew it, I texted my scorpios friend in despair stating everything I've done for him and it still wasn' t good enough. Been regretting it ever since ?


Posted by blackphaseHe can't trust anyone he says, only his diving buddies. And that's just under water. Once they're on solid ground again, the trust goes out the door.
Wow.. this is how shitty I look from the other side 😢
Although, you are very open and reassuring it seems. If I had someone like you, it would probably put all my paranoid thoughts to rest. He seems to have some very big issues with trust and insecurity, I can relate. It generally only intensifies and gets to the stage his is at when we are with someone whom we do not trust.. But you don't seem like you gave him any reason to not trust you. From what you have described, I'm like, where is my male version of that? Lol.. So I am not sure why he is testing you this hard and can't seem to accept your honesty 😢


Posted by LadyNeptuneTo be honest, He was at one point very secretive of his phone. But I asked him about it and then he immediatly showed me everything (no time for deleting). He wasnt hiding girls or anything, just porn ? He thought I'd be upset cause his exes all were. I wasnt ? but other then that he was private yes, but not extreme. Going through his phone would be a No ofcourse. But he always said if I had questions he'd always show me. I asked him just that one time.Posted by IridessariesAs long as you learn from this it isn't a waste of time. In the future you will see men who act this way as major red flags.

In my experience men who were always questioning my whereabouts, not trusting me despite my actions always being loyal, were actually hiding or cheating on me themselves. They put the spot light on me so that I was too busy defending my actions and whereabouts to questions theirs. Not saying that he was cheating on you/hiding something...but it's a possibility.click to expand

Posted by scorpYoBecause he trusts me with everything else. His kids, staying in house when he's at work, his debetcard,... There are only questions when I'm not with him.
hes fucked up girl grab your things and go, I assure you he will never ever change he will be panaroid to the last day of his life so why on earth would you waste more time and feelings than you already did with someone that does not TRUST you?

Posted by EvoxxxscorpioI understand why you would think that. But actually he is very thoughtful and puts in as much an effort as I do. He comes whenever he can, spoils me, frees his time,...
He's gonna make you do a lot of work 70/30 like I said on the other post.


Posted by ImpulsvI know what gas lighting is. But that's done malignant and by not so Nice people.
It's called gas lighting


Posted by PootyButtI know ? today is better as I said it would be. Was just upset last night, and then I get a bit defensive. It's the Aries way ?Posted by IridessariesAlways take the advice here with a grain of salt. You just happened to post about Scorpios around the same time as several other people, and I think you got a reactionary response at least partly because of that.Posted by ImpulsvI know what gas lighting is.

He wasnt like that. His parents noticed a change in him the last years, just as his friends. He's an open, considerate, sensitive person. Always puts others first.
You don't just wake up one day and become a narcississt. Labels for people are granted so freely. Sigh
I was just confused an hour ago. Not once before did I blame myself nor did he. Just now he said this, never before. He would beat himself up for weeks for acting stupid. He fought it on lots of occassions as well. Narcississts wouldn't do that...ever. I have worked with malignant narcississts and studied them. I would know

Posted by EveryOunceI feel if I answer this I come across as making excuses for him. Which is not the intent, I know what he is doing now is unfair. But here we go anyway.
Why are you so accomodating to someone who could leave you for days on in and not give you one reason as to why he left? He is not short on love he is controlling.

I would always tell him where I was, what I was doing etc... He had access to my fb and Phone whenever he had questions, I had nothing to hide. Everyday I told and showed him I love him. We spent most of our days and nights together. But the minute I was on my own he would question things. Not only question, he was convinced of his own mind and wouldn't waver. Followed by disappearing for one or 2 days, only to come back apologizing. I would tell he can't treat people like that, that I understood his fears but reassured him I was devoted to him and that I wouldn't lie or hurt him. And I never did, I didnt even tell a white lie bc I knew how important honesty was to him.
As time went by he became more and more paranoid. He ignored me for 2 days bc I went to the store while he thought I was home. I went to the store...smdh. that's just one exempel, I could give 50. No matter his insecurities I never changed and kept doing what I do. Telling him I loved him, being there and supporting him in what he did, hobbies. I spent every free moment I had with him and his kids. But the questionning remained. The ignoring and disappearing acts went from one day up to a week. As an Aries I would panic the first day, but after that first day I'd just leave him be. He knew How I felt but always said I was the love of his life and that he wouldn't leave me ever.
Although we talked about his fears and falsely accusing, he said he believed me and trusted me, but I feel like he never really did. I do believe he wanted to, but he was always looking for that sign that said: you'll hurt me too. Exhausting to say the least. But I really love him to the core so I never gave up and kept showing him he was everything to me.
A month ago we were having a fun day, just the two of us, dancing and drinking at his house. I received a message from a Friend asking me if I still went on my daily nature walks and if he could come with sometime. Before answering I told my bf I got this message and boom, he freaked out. We were drunk yes but nothing mean was said. I tried talking, he wanted to be alone. Which would have been fine, but I was drunk and couldnt just leave and drive home. So I just stayed quiet on the couch playing with his dog and trying not to trigger him more.
He would be calm and then again said I needed to leave. I told him I would but I couldnt for now. He got mad and said he'd call the police if I didnt leave that seconde... wtf! So yeah, this Aries didnt take that threat lightly. I didnt throw a tantrum, just got my stuff and called a taxi. It cost me 80 $ to get home too.
Two days later he texted me to come over and talk. Every single thing he ever questionned came back and he still believed them to be true, I had no idea!! Then he said I always started drama and that he needed time. The Aries in me wanted to object but it would have backfired, so once again I told him I loved him and that I wasnt who he made me in his head.
We spoke on the phone almost daily and were supposed to meet this Sunday. On Friday we had a talk, a nice talk too, at one point I did mention that when he ignored me I asked myself who or what I was to him. He hung up and didnt show up Sunday. Just a text saying he wouldn't come and then he blocked me.
I lost my cool for 4 minutes I must admit. I left a voicemail saying he was a coward. That must of hurt, but c'mon.
So now, I'm just wondering where to go from here. Our connection is still so strong, I feel his presence almost throughout the entire say. He never shy'd away his love for me, but he kept pushing and pulling now blaming me for starting drama. Honest, I never did. IF I had something on my mind I would bring it up carefully, but it was maybe 4 times in a year. I just don't understand what is happening. How much more can you do for a scorpio before they believe you love them?
