Is Scorpio Man Jealous and Possessive in a Relationship?

Scorpio men hate to feel like they’ve lost control of a situation. Some are less likely to act on jealousy because of this.

They don’t want to lose control of their emotions. Others are likely to react by trying to control their partner.

Scorpio men have a hard time trusting people. Even if you’re not doing anything to make him jealous, he might become paranoid and imagine you’re doing something anyway.

All Scorpio men feel their emotions intensely. Even if he can control himself, there is often a storm brewing inside when he’s jealous.

Needs Control

Are Scorpio men controlling? Most of them are to some degree.

Some are just concerned with controlling themselves. In this case, he will try to keep any extreme emotions under control. He won’t want to show you when he’s jealous, especially if the jealousy is irrational.

Other Scorpio men will try to control the people around them. The degree to which they do this varies. Some Scorpio men are too controlling to handle. Others can easily be talked down if they start acting too possessive.

If he’s getting too controlling or possessive, most of the time what he needs is reassurance. If you can convince him that there’s nothing to worry about, he’ll stop trying to keep you from talking to certain people.

He’s Distrustful

A Scorpio man’s personality is not a trusting one. He has a hard time trusting people, even when he loves them.

The source of his jealousy is often this lack of trust.

If he’s been cheated on in the past, he’ll have a hard time believing that his current partner isn’t also going to cheat on him.

He’ll take a long time to fully trust a new partner. He might love you and want to commit to you but it will take him some time to trust you.

When he gets jealous, it might mean that he doesn’t trust you quite yet. He might not trust you to go out to a club without doing anything to betray him.

A Scorpio man’s jealousy problems will often resolve themselves when he can completely trust his partner. That takes time and a lot of patience from his partner.

He’s Paranoid

What makes a Scorpio man jealous? He’ll be jealous if you flirt with someone else in front of him. He may become jealous if you are spending a lot of time with another man.

Sometimes, he gets jealous over nothing. Some Scorpio men are so afraid of getting hurt that they become paranoid.

He might get jealous of a coworker of yours even though you have a strictly professional relationship.

He may get jealous if you say hello to an ex when you run into him on the street. Even if you have zero lingering feelings for your ex, your Scorpio man might overthink things.

Scorpio men are good at convincing themselves something is going on even when nothing is.

Some Scorpios are good at ignoring their irrational paranoia. Many of them know when they’re making mountains out of molehills.

Others might accuse you of cheating just because your phone died and they couldn’t contact you for a couple of hours.

Is your Scorpio man not communicating with you? Here's the trick to reel your Scorpio back in.

Highly Jealous

A Scorpio man’s jealousy is some of the most impassioned jealousy you will ever come across.

Jealousy is one of the most common negative traits associated with Scorpio. It’s not uncommon to find a Scorpio who gets easily jealous.

Even if he is good at hiding it, he won’t be able to stop himself from feeling his emotions strongly. As a water sign, he’s in touch with his feelings whether he wants to be or not.

He may get jealous if you suddenly stop spending as much time with him as you usually do.

He might get jealous if he sees that you’re always out with your friends after telling him you’re too busy to hang out with him.

If your Scorpio man starts acting moody out of the blue, it might be because he’s jealous about something. He won’t always react by getting angry or accusing you of anything. Sometimes he’ll just sulk until he gets over it.

Mind Games

Should you make a Scorpio man jealous? You should never do that on purpose. He’ll feel more hurt than he would if you accidentally made him jealous.

Some Scorpio men use jealousy as a way of playing mind games. He might purposely try to make a partner jealous as payback for something they’ve done to hurt him.

If you make your Scorpio man jealous, expect him to retaliate with some mind games of his own.

He might also play mind games with other people if he doesn’t want them around you.

He’ll try to intimidate other men if he thinks they’re flirting with you. He might be rude to a male friend of yours if he thinks he’s too close to you.

He may do things that are more subtle as well. You might not notice he’s being possessive over you because he isn’t always obvious about it.

Vengeful

If he starts acting vindictively, that’s a sign a Scorpio man is jealous and he’s trying to get back at you for making him feel that way.

If you flirt with another man in front of him, he’ll make sure you’re looking as he flirts with another woman.

He’ll ignore you in favor of hanging out with other people if you haven’t been spending enough time with him.

If you cheat on him, he’ll see nothing wrong with having sex with somebody else to get even.

He knows that his jealousy isn’t always rational. If he ever feels like you’ve done something to make him jealous on purpose, though, he will get his revenge.

Highly Emotional

Being emotional is just part of a Scorpio man’s nature. Scorpio is a water sign and like Cancer or Pisces, they feel everything strongly.

Your Scorpio man doesn’t want to be a jealous, possessive partner. He doesn’t want his emotions to get the best of him and make him do anything he might regret.

The best way to deal with his feelings of jealousy is to get him to open up to you about them. If he can just talk to you and get some reassurance if needed, he’ll be less likely to explode when he can no longer handle his emotions.

His emotions make him a great partner in other respects. When a Scorpio man loves, he loves you with all that he has.

This magic will make your Scorpio man want a relationship with you.

Intense

Intensity is one of a Scorpio man’s main traits. He’s passionate. He’s magnetic. When something is important to him, he dives headfirst into whatever it is.

His relationship is very important to him. He doesn’t commit to people or trust them easily. He will do anything he can to keep his relationship. If he loves you, he won’t want to lose you.

This intensity is great sometimes. It’s nice to know without a doubt that your partner loves you. It’s fun when your partner is passionate in bed.

His jealousy and other negative emotions will be intense too, though. Even if he’s good at handling them or hiding them from you, they will affect him deeply.

Hates Betrayal

Some Scorpio men are possessive over their partners because of their deep fear of betrayal.

A Scorpio man who has been betrayed in the past will have a hard time believing that you won’t also betray him.

A more mature Scorpio man will be able to work through his feelings of jealousy. He’ll be able to trust his partner fully.

Other Scorpio men will let their fear of betrayal consume them. This ruins some of their relationships.

A Scorpio man might accuse his partner of cheating when she’s not. He might try to limit who she interacts with just because he’s jealous or worried that she’ll betray him.

Overprotective

Are Scorpio men possessive of their partner? Many are protective of their relationships and this can seem possessive at times.

If he thinks somebody else is trying to take you away from him, he will likely react by being possessive. Even if he is normally pretty relaxed, that side of him will come out if he feels threatened.

If another man is bothering you at a bar, your Scorpio man will happily make him go away. It’s great to have a Scorpio man around if you ever need help getting rid of an unwanted person.

You might not appreciate it if you’re just chatting with a male friend, though. It might take some time to convince him that certain people in your life aren’t a problem or a threat to him.
