Narrow-minded vs the TreeHugger

Ok, look at the way air changes- in an instant it can move in a completely different direction, and it flows around obstacles effortlessly. Look at the way water moves- it always looks the same on the surface, but things are moving below. It stays on its prescribed course (except for when it rages out of control), but slowly widens and deepens that course. Scorpios DO change, it just takes an eternity by our standards.
If you are communicating your needs to him, it IS registering somewhere. Scorps have their world, and need to be shown the reason to expand it to incorporate your wants. Otherwise, you'll forever feel like you're a guest in his world instead of being the cocreator of your world together.
I'm not surprised he turned out the light. In his world, he was done in that room, so everyone must be done in that room! It's the same reason my husband used to turn off the tv when he was ready to go up to bed- never mind if I was still watching it! Your Scorp needs to understand that just because he does things a certain way, or thinks a certain way, doesn't mean that you do. If you keep trying to meet him halfway, you'll be standing halfway all alone; if you keep trying to accommodate him (expecting that he'll do the same for you), he'll be sure to let you. The thing to do is to put your foot down (firmly, but kindly) and let it be known exactly what you need to feel that you are an equal partner, and not just a guest in his life.
I have been married to my Scorp for 6 years, and by the third year the reality of our differences had set in full-force. There were times when I really believed I was going to leave. But I didn't. We put in the hard work of understanding each other, instead, and it has paid off! Our relationship is better than ever.
