I guess I don't understand why some (most?) Scorps seem to enter a relationship with one foot already out the door.. Almost like they're setting themselves up for a loss and yet not realizing (or maybe they do?) that they orchestrated the whole thing; they created a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts..
I understand the need for trust in a relationship. But shouldn't every new relationship - even a new relationship with an old lover - start from square one? Take the lessons you learned with you, but leave the issues in the past. No "testing", no "games".. either you are okay with the other person and deal with issues as they come up, or you aren't okay with the person / aren't over the issues and therefore probably should not be in a relationship. Otherwise, what's the point?
I was just asked something similar to this. To be succinct I think it's a self esteem issue.click to expand

Well, you've got him now! He could be testing you to see what you do with a little indifference. Do you stay, or do you leave? Do you become overly clingy, do you become distant and aloof, or do you do something of a happy medium? For the very-long-term, he'll want someone who can stand on her own two feet but who still wants him by her side. You can't tell him these things. You have to show him. Through time. And he won't ask you, because that would influence your response to be on-the-spot and potentially not as honest.
He may be testing you subconsciously. It'll do no good to point this out. Just keep being 'you' and he'll get over his fears, bit by bit. 🙂
Btw any time he tells you one of his fears, this is a GOOD sign of long-term potential. Friends don't get full disclosure. There is always the chance that a man is playing a woman. A man of ANY sign. But telling secrets, for those of us prowling this forum, tends to be a very intimate thing.

Lets begin to analyze your situation from the beginning.
When he committed to you, he relinquished a certain amount of control that helps him keep his heart safe in case you take off. Relinquishing that control made him feel vulnerable and he in turn tested you by saying —Move on,be happy?? etc. hoping you would now leave, he would be able to get the control back and things will be —safe?? for him again while actually wanting you to stay by his side.(This is difficult to understand so ask for clarification if you don't).
" .Using the words —FWB?? as against —relationship?? grants him a fake sense of emotional security because he still fears that things will go wrong and you will leave. "
If you do stay, follow what draumstafir has recommended,it shall sure work.

Fixed signs- we are masochistic and if already a little emotionally damaged can/ will/ do self sabotage a relationship but cannot let you go.
totally agree !

how does he not feel safe having me by his side...because he lost his sense of control ...because his heart is taking over his head?...click to expand

I would say a Scorpio with one foot out the door, using 'tests' and projecting insecurities is doing so because they haven't quite gotten their full of masochism and drama yet. They might still equate drama with passion and passion with happiness.

syndrome which is related to his...illness...I was suppose to give him the whole weekend to properly think about it but I got all defensive because i realised the first week he was dying for his best friend's support who not only pushed him away but refused to even see his face because of how sick he is and she's refusing to be there for him.

Is his sickness a medically defined physical or mental condition or do you refer to him as sick because he plays games?click to expand

So after an intense 4 nights of being together . What he called FWB showed otherwise .. We had an amazing time n Lots of *fireworks* he told me yesterday he wanted to have a bit of a break because we are entering relationship territory. He needs some space so he could start fixing himself properly ! He claims he's not worth my support and love and he will hurt me if we continue ( the usual) I am not hurt but more happy this week. I had no expectations in him or us so this spacing thing does not bother me . .. Yet ... Have I really got him now? He picked me up from work cause he don't want me to catch a train. Sweetest thing so far.. Obviously apart from all the pleasing in the bedroom .. Should I touch base with him once a day or leave him alone completely...he's been having horrible days at work n his mindset at the moment is no where near safe/healthy ..😢
This is what Scorp does. You should be happy he's thinking like this. Retreat like this is often the first step in a series of small steps to the next level. Just give him space but let him know from time to time you are thinking of him. He told you exactly what he's thinking. Try to trust that.click to expand

Also, please be aware that this is probably one of those unconscious tests. He wants to see how you are going to respond to this "break" as well. Now, think closely about this: do you think he is more likely to want you to show you "get" that he's going to need time away--a BIG HUGE thing that most Scorps NEED over long term--OR do you think he may be feeling slightly insecure and wants to see if you are in this for the long haul?
What do you think? Could it be a combo of both?

More insider info: A scorp man especially could pretty much live in a cave away from everything for their whole lives. Scorps love being on their own in their own weird world. However, yeah we get that doesn't work, so we share the love with the people we care for. My point, Scorp men need an independent woman who has their own life and doesn't make a huge fuss over every little retreat. At the same time Scorp men love to be adored. Seriously, it doesn't look like it from their placid exterior, but they dig having someone tell them how wonderful they are. Keep this in mind, my friend.

He has always been honest with me and told me things that he NEVER told anyone before.

OMG this is an easy fix. Find a moment when you can claim this Scorp in a very direct way in front of your ex or so that it gets back to your ex. This sounds like loyalty testing. No biggie. Not saying this Scorp dude is in forever love mode with you--I don't know because I am not him--but if you feel like your ex is old news and you want to be with this Scorp, make it obvious. We love that shiite. 🙂
Don't badger on the dating other people scenario unless he starts dating others then you truly do have just an FWB.

Now that i realised, me and my virgo ex were together for 2.5 years. His best friend ( my friend) told him ..how me and my ex were still talking heaps etc.
I told my Scorpio that i did not even get hurt ending things with my ex etc and that he hurt me more braking up with me. He asked how we broke up etc...i have shown him with actions and words that my ex doesn't mean anything to me anymore and i can't be bother hearing from him etc. I definitely been making it obvious !!! if he doesn't see that ..i don't know how else to pass his test !..as off dating.. to me that is a test too... he pushes me away by saying...be with other men..you deserve better etc...to me that means ( i want to prove whether you can be loyal to me and will only love and support me in life forever) ..am i right ? haha
Try not to over think. Not worth it. Just do what comes naturally. Also actions speak louder than words so just telling Scorp dude could actually mean exactly zero to him with regards to how you are feeling about ex.
Remember you told Scorp that you it hurt you that Virgo broke up with you--kind of a red flag. That may mean your are not completely over as for the typical Scorp of someone breaks up with us, it takes awhile before we are ready for another relationship. Just things to keep in mind. Try not to over think things. Go with the flow until or if until the flow seems to stop.click to expand

I finally gave him a chance as I was 100 percent sure he was the last person i would be with so i gave my all to him within days !!
He pushed me away after committing to him for a week. .... I was extremely hurt because i gave him the commitment and loyalty like no others.
The last few weeks i have proven to him that i would always BE THERE when he needs me. I was and am the only person who's offering him the support that he needs.
At first he was reluctant to take my support but as days went by he gave me the trust he never thought he could or would. He has told me things he never told anyone before...even his best friends of over 10 years...I'm the only person that know more about him than ANY one else..


Posted by saweetz1988
..... I insisted on offering my support and being there for him because i know he was going through a lot. It was then he realised that my support and love is genuine I did not LEAVE just because he pushed me away.
I wrote him a long list of things we should do if he really does want me and want us to work out ...I was suppose to give him the whole weekend to properly think about it but I got all defensive because i realised the first week he was dying for his best friend's support who not only pushed him away but refused to even see his face because of how sick he is and she's refusing to be there for him. I got hurt because i felt that my support and love meant NOTHING...so i wrote him another MEAN letter the next day telling him he should disregard the letter as i have chosen to move on with my life etc. He was confused wondering why did i turn around etc. I ignored him for a day then wrote another apologise letter saying i want us in good terms etc.


Posted by IrresistableScorp
Hmm...
Never a good idea to think you know what a Scorp is thinking especially when it comes to proving you will always be there for him. :/
Also, no one can give commitment for a week. Commitment takes time over years so yeah giving commitment and loyalty for a week is like putting a drop in a barrel. Its foolish to think that means anything.
P she's a taurus. They are the kings and queens of tunnel-vision when it comes to something they want. 😄
Its part of their charm. lol

why would you need that translated or interpretated? it's clear as sunshine. ^^. sex is sex. and love is love.
some things are what they are and not what we wish they were.

Posted by Nemesis
YOU think you shared something very special; and by all means it might have been for you. for him it was not the same experience ......
FWB work for a while - i??ll admit that. but long term never fucking ever. both go into these with different expectations and for varying reasons.


Posted by MellyMel909Posted by saweetz1988
I am not forcing anything from him but sometimes scorpios have their own weird ways of thinking that is why i am here hunting for answers.
Maybe you are right, the truth is standing right in front of me and I refuse to see or listen... however as i said on my previous comments, the actions spoke otherwise.. How can i believe it is just FWB in such circumstances. I guess I will cut the sex out and see what happens.
Do NOT play games with Scorpios!! It would be like playing "Battleship" or "Connect Four" against Milton Bradley. Even if you *think* you've "won", They invented the damn game so you still end up losing!! Especially you being a Taurus - game playing is not your forte.click to expand

This applies for ANY man (regardless of his astrological sign) if a man TELLS YOU he only wants to be FWB, either accept his offer knowing that is what it is goingto be and not expecting any more, or walk away if you can't do it.
I for one cannot. I am Scorpio and the whole FWB does not sit well with me for multiple reasons. Scorpio men can get very possessive over those who they feel are theirs. The fact that he is willing to risk you going off with another man, is a HUGE indication (I feel) that he does not see you in that way.
Men can be fickle. Especially, if something is given to them too easily. You have to make men invest in you. People are more inclined to work towards an investment and then protect it once they get it. All this business of giving yourself in a matter of day/weeks... Might not have been the wisest choice. If you have given ALL of yourself already without him really knowing YOU, what's left for him?
If you cant handle being FWB, which I understand, walk away. If he comes back, please do not make the same mistake.


Posted by natural25
Well let us not forget the MAIN fact. He does not want to be in a relationship.
If you feel like you made the right decision, thats perfectly fine. I was merely sharing my perspective based on what I know about men in general, Scorpio men, myself as a Scorpio, and dating. Just because you gave him a chance does not mean you jump in head first, without getting to know him romantically. The point I am trying to make is that you should think of yourself as the prize also. He isnt just choosing you, you are also choosing him. He chased you for three years. You never really thought of him like that. You decided to give him a chance, GREAT! Clap, clap, bravo. Now, DATE him. Get to know him romantically so you can make a proper assessment if HE is WORTHY of YOU. Its not about WINNING, its about demonstrating to him your self worth.
Now, you have given of yourself and he has left the building. My best advice for you would be to walk away. Tell him that you care about him and can no longer do the FWB thing and wish him the best of luck. Otherwise, you might just continue to invest yourself physically and emotionally into a man who is not only not reciprocating but will not change.

^^ one of the 100 oldest tricks in the book......sheeshhh saweetz, are you so desperate for THIS GUY? why? ohhh yes, cause you had sex - and you got attached. as i said, FWB are always complicated.
smh.

Posted by twinklebluetoesPosted by Nemesis
actually just a mad random thought - if people treated themeselves like they treated their objects of desire - hellllllll this would be on big love fest.
^^ respect yourself. love yourself. have some pride.
Exactly.
People will always wander from relationship to relationship with trust issues and intimacy issues when they don't love themselves.
They search out people to prove that they are lovable but they will constantly be paranoid and question why the person is with them because they don't believe themselves to lovable. It's just the same cycle over and over. Or they find people who will mistreat them because they feel that's all they can get or it's all they deserve.click to expand
