Ive been with my leo guy for a year and a half now. We recently went through a rough patch from August - December and almost broke up. Nothing major happened, just lots of little things that never got resolved properly etc and it was a huge build up of things. He saved the relationship though, he stepped up and payed for my return flights so that I could be with him and his family over Xmas on the other side of the country which was really nice of him. He has never done something like that before so it was proof to me that he really loved me. He made sure I felt very loved as well. We have been so amazing since, we spoke about everything from the past year and have let it all go.

Just last night though we have had our first fight JUST before he is about to go on a solo road trip to california for at least a month. It was over nothing.. he just got angry at me over bullshit and started fighting. I said sorry where I should and he continued to fight over texts. I stuck up for myself in the end and made it clear that NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO SPEAK TO ME DISRESPECTFULLY.

I am waiting to hear from him before he leaves because alot of his stuff is at my house which he needs but it's almost as if he's sabotaging the relationship. My intuition says that he knows he's in the wrong but also to stubborn to say sorry for me.

WHY DO LEO'S START STUPID DRAMA—?

WHY IS HE DOING THIS BEfORE HE LEAVES——— It's almost as if he is purposely trying to sabotage the relationship just before he leaves?? He is a free spirit little gypsy, I am the same in ways but more grounded but i give him so much freedom but also I absolutely shower him in love usually. He definetly loves me alot. When i stuck up for myself he somewhat stopped arguing with me.. I dont think he was expecting that response but he literally pushed me to it... before that I was trying to be calm and resolve the stupid issue which was fucking nothing.

What started the fight?
So the other night he said he will stay with me thursday night as it's the final night together. He had ALL DAY THURSDAY to have everything organized but instead his lazy lion ass did NOTHING all day and started doing it all last minute.. I was actually in a good mood but was texting him asking if hes still coming over etc.. he gets very overwhelmed when he's already stressed so my fucking simple little questions pissed him off and the rest is history...

I just be more clear.. he was doing everything last minute at like 9/10pm.. I still told him to come over etc which he told me he wanted to do before coming over but then he decided to text fight with me about everything and just started insulting me and being mean coz of his hot headed temper.

YAY FOR SCORPIO.

You said “all your simple little questions”. Sounded like you might have been nagging him. Wasn’t making an assumption, I read your words.

Yet another reason Leo/Scorp don’t work

My questions were minimal and they were fair enough in my opinion since I bend over backwards for him when he needs me. Some fucking respect would be nice.

sorry im just mainly venting im so mad, emotional and the moon isnt fucking helping.

Why fight over text? You probably took the text the wrong way. Also if a Leo says he's going to do something don't keep asking because it's nagging, insecure and demonstrates a lack of trust. Now if he doesn't show up then you get in his ass about it.

But it seems your looking for demonstrations of love and Leo's don't tick that way, least the males don't because they give love and attention naturally but around an insecure girl/woman that needs it they simply get exhausted and hardly try. Maybe evaluate if how he's loving you, giving you love is enough for you because if it's not enough then you're in a bad position where you'll be passively and covertly begging for more and you won't get it how you desire it.

There's a lot to unpack here, so bear with me. Also know that I'm not blaming you for any of this. I just think there's two sides here. Having been around many Scorpio women, I say this based on personal experience. However since I don't know the exact details of your relationship, I could be off.

Those Pisces Moon Leos can be a handful. Two of my closest friends are Leos with Pisces Moon and while they are completely opposite of the other, their emotions can make them do/say some silly things. While they are usually very calm, Pisces Moon people's emotions are easily influenced by their environment.. When they become irritable, they can become explosive (much like a Pisces person). This translated through a Leo Sun though can result in a person who is very explosive when angered

One thing I'll point out is a comment that you made. You said that you truly felt loved when the Leo bought your return flight. I'm not sure if/how you expressed this sentiment to him, but this can be a big red flag for a Leo. While Leos will use grand gestures as a way to show our affection, these superficial things should not be what proves our love to you (in our minds). In a Leo's mind we are constantly doing/saying things to show our affection. It can be disheartening if our partner only notices the one obvious grand gesture and not the other consistent actions.

That being said the issue isn't that you felt loved in that moment. It's that the Leo had to do it to save the relationship, as if the burden of saving the relationship was on him buying a plane ticket. While a Leo will save a situation in a pinch, we need to know that our efforts are fully appreciated and never forgotten. My question is, did you show him consistent affection/appreciation afterward? If so, how? If not, your Leo's resentment may have been silently growing once he felt his actions weren't reciprocated.

Think about it. If you two had a rocky relationship for several months only for things to turn around immediately after the Leo bought you a plane ticket, what type of precedent does that set in his mind? If he was the one who had to save the relationship, how does that make you appear to him? The Leo may now think that the entire weight of the relationship sits upon his shoulders alone. Whenever a problem arises again, will he need to be the one who makes a grand gesture to save it? Will you step up next time and take the reins?

I personally try to stay away from Scorpio energy (though it literally finds me at ever turn) because it's good at receiving but not necessarily at reciprocating. Scorpio energy is also notorious for holding back emotions out of fear of being hurt. Scorpio energy often needs the partner to "prove" their worth before any real effort is made from their end.

Leo's however don't like having to "prove" anything to anyone, though we will make considerable efforts for those we love. This dynamic can be a drain on a Leo if we feel that a Scorpio can only love us if we are constantly doing for/giving to them. The relationship will feel one sided and we will ultimately feel unloved. I think that the plane ticket was a bandage for a bigger underlying communication problem that has to be resolved.

The main issue here may be the Scorpio and Leo love languages. As fixed signs, Scorpio and Leos both value quality time with one another. We also value physical touch since we are both very sexual signs. However Leos (generally speaking) also value words of affirmation while Scorpios (generally speaking) value gift giving.

This means that as a Scorpio, if you show love to a Leo by giving him a gift, he may not appreciate it as much as he would words affirming your love (a lot of words). Constant adoration (especially verbal) goes a long way with Leos. Likewise even though you may know the Leo loves you, a grand gesture seems to go a long way with you. Understanding that the two of you have very different ways of feeling/showing love is very important to meet each other's emotional needs. That way neither of you will resent the other

It was a good thing that you stood up for yourself. A Leo can not respect a partner if we can walk all over them. However I think the Leo needs to see a bit of effort from your side. I could be wrong, but it seems that you may not have been verbal enough with the Leo regarding your appreciation of him. He needs to know that you value him deeply.

If I were you I would calmly express that you appreciate the fact that he made the effort to keep you together and that you noticed his intentions. You don't need to kiss his butt or anything, but definitely let him know that you adore him for who he is (not what he does).

Leo’s are going through a MAJOR CHANGE IF YOURE NOT HERE to be positive for him and if the fighting has been going on for months then i think he’s getting the balls to walk out. I’m sorry but right now we are shedding things that no longer serve us.
Yeah we are sucking up a lot of crap we've had to deal with and about to turn the tables on people for sure.

The thing is, I AM HERE TO BE POSITIVE! I would take a bullet for this guy.. I show him so much attention and love and he definitely appreciates it. but I cant be a punching bag every time he gets stressed out, gets ANGRY over nothing and then decides to be nasty and take it out on me for no reason or really stupid reasons.. it's mean and I wont put up with it.

When we fight over texts it IS because of misunderstanding and I EXPLAINED THAT TO HIM TOO but nope he decided to continue texting and being mean until I stuck up for myself he backed down coz he wasnt expecting that reaction for once.

I havent read the rest but I will after...

In response to the above ^ Him buying me the flights was him doing something nice. before that i was very ready to let go.. but it was no longer in a fighting eachother way.. i honestly got to the point where i was ready to let go. HE then expressed his love for me and told me finally how much he appreicates me etc. he doesnt use words much to express himself usually.. he usually just shows me with affection and tells me he loves me.

I made sure that this gesture was appreciated so much. In fact I even brought it up again 2 days ago because I had such a good time and wished we were still there with his family. I am so thankful and SHOW him even if he made me a fucking sandwhich.

This guy is loved trust me. I tell him and show him every single days with words, little gestures, everything. I treat him like a KING. With all this being said - I am quite strong, very independent, have my own friends and own things going on. but trust me when i say this guy is showered in love lol

But do yourself a big favor and pay attention to the earliest signs he's stressed because had you did that the Leo wouldn't need to explode on you. You knew he waited to the last second to pack so deep down you knew he probably wouldn't show up but instead of allowing the issue to unfold naturally and accept whatever happens happens you allow your anxiety to see him override the fact that you knew he was stressed before you asked.

I grew up in a house of Leo's, dated a few too and I've learned that at any sign of stress to leave them alone because they tend to quickly move on from any bad feelings if allowed the space to do it.

Next time you find yourself fighting over text just curtly tell him you're not fighting over text and politely tell him you love him and let's talk when we see each other but by them it's all but forgotten. You definitely can tell him he's being mean and abruptly end the conversation by telling him let's talk later or tonight or tomorrow to diffuse the situation.

Well then it could just be he was stressed in the moment and handled it poorly. Give him a moment to calm down and then talk to him rationally. Exploding randomly doesn't make sense for him to do unless that's his pattern. If he's not verbal he may be too accustomed to holding things in unnecessarily.

I agree.. but I ALWAYS let these things go.. this was the first time in a long time that I said something because i felt hurt that he didnt think ahead and plan accordingly to see me like planned. I get he's stressed and even when i messaged him I wasnt rude to him or angry i was simply asking. I even fucking said sorry for stressing him out and for him to come over but he was already mad at that point.

Okay. Maybe its stuff he has bottled up for a while? when hes talk to you listen to him or do you interrupt him and just push aside his feelings and what hes trying to say? He might be trying to communicate some worries in the relationship but maybe every time he tries it gets blown out of proportion? thats why he doesn't respond in the end, he just gives up because he doesn't think you're getting him.

Part of this is you've taught him he can explode on you by not correcting the behavior day one so now it's building up and building up inside of you and then you fight back but then apologize, this is confusing and frustrating.

In the future stand up for yourself immediately, don't allow days,weeks o months to go by before addressing the issue. The first time you allow any kind of bad treatment you've just set the standard as to how he's going to be with you going forward.

At this moment not much to do. Be patient. Don't chase and try not to nag him with questions once he omes back. Allow him space to correct himself.
