We got together 5 months ago, him - Aries/Virgo/Pisces rising, me - Scorpio/Pisces/Taurus rising.

It was bliss in the beginning. After a long period of emotional withdrawal (I have been with an emotionally unavailable Virgo/Aquarius for 6 years, and I numbed myself eventually to escape from the emptiness), meeting him was such a welcome relief. I felt as if I'd found LIFE itself in him - all that love and affection. He's so protective over me, possessive even, traits that I completely welcome and embrace (my Scorpio descendant perhaps?). Traits that just make me feel...alive again. Like I'd been rescued from some cold place and taken somewhere warm and magical.

But now I'm finding myself performing some sort of bizarre balancing act with my own emotions, and him. My negative emotions are so overwhelming that they scare me to pieces, and I hate that, hate feeling like some psycho bitch. But when I attempt to reel them in, I set off all sorts of chain reactions - I get moody and bitter, Aries picks up on it, and accuses me of being 'uncaring' and 'stubborn'. And then we go through a period of coldness towards each other that just breaks my heart, and I'm certain breaks his as well.

It certainly doesn't help that our honeymoon period is coming to an end, and our quarrels are escalating. When before he would rush over as soon as he can whenever we fight, now he just...leaves it as it is. The 'I love you's' are dwindling, and I feel like he isn't wanting me as urgently as before. Even the sex is dying down somewhat, haha. I'm just so afraid that he's turning into Virgo all over again - cold and distant and detached...it's like a sort of deep fear that eats at me and doesn't rest...

I think I need so much help...I feel like I'm drowning in a cycle of negativity and I can't seem to get out...Any sort of advice is very welcome. How I should be dealing with Aries, with my emotions, anything at all! Thank you so much for reading this.

Have faith valkyriea, I am an Aries dating a Scorpio who is so put together as you all seem to be, and I understand that emotions run deep with you Scorpios.

Aries have emotions, and we can deny them well to survive, but everything in a relationship is felt somewhat equally just in different ways. I feel like such a wreck next to my Scorpio when it comes to controlling my emotions, and wish it was easier in relationships to feel secure in everyday stuff and new things that arise.

Don't be afraid to talk it out, or say at least I miss you, I want us to try harder, or whatever can be said that will let you remain so balanced.

We are rather honest creatures and usually mindful of the feelings of those we care for, so don't be afraid to talk it out or ask the Aries questions to get the answers you need to feel better about any topic.

It just might be the step toward counteracting your feelings and the way you feel you present yourself to others.

If you have any tips on how to keep in tune with a Scorpio, I am all ears, you guys are amazing people.

Hi, thanks so much for the replies, heroic_guy and OvSp. But, I'm afraid, I've broken up with him. Feel terrible now, but I had to let him go, because I was causing just so much heartache for him, I couldn't help myself at all...the last few days, he just turned cold...and stopped caring. It broke my heart to little pieces but I knew it was time to let go. At least, that was what my mind told me...Will be posting over at the Aries board for advice so if any of you can help, it will be very welcome...

heroic_guy, just remain the sweetheart that you are 🙂 I love my Aries for his strength, his radiant smile, and all that light that he brought into my life. It shone so brightly and radiantly just for me...No matter what you do, don't stop loving her, and don't stop showing that to her in every possible way you can, no matter how long you've been together or how comfortable you may have gotten. As long as she feels your strong love for her, and she reciprocates it, she WILL embrace and appreciate the emotions that you are showing. I wish I could help more but...I'm unable to help even myself, so please accept my well wishes for now =)
