omg the emotional languages thing!! I'm a scorpio with a leo husband and this is so real. he'll have a big moment, express it, and then he's fine. meanwhile I'm still processing feelings from like 3 weeks ago lol

8 years with my scorpio and honestly the loyalty thing is what keeps us together through the hard times. we've had some ROUGH patches but neither of us ever considered leaving. it's like once you're in with these two signs you're really in

yes!! @desert_rose that's exactly it. I used to think he was holding grudges but he's just... still feeling things. once I understood that I stopped taking it personally

@CelestialKate the loyalty is unmatched honestly. glad you guys are making it work too

found this thread while searching for leo scorpio stuff and wow, the 'learning to pick your battles' thing hit me hard

I'm 5 years in with my scorpio and we still butt heads over the dumbest things lol. but the part about him seeing through my leo bravado? that's so real. like I can be all confident and dramatic on the outside but he KNOWS when I'm actually struggling

the control thing is still our biggest challenge tbh. we've started doing this thing where whoever cares more about an issue gets the final say... it's helped a lot

ok this is literally the thread i needed to find lol. i'm a leo, been with my scorpio husband for 8 years and EVERYTHING you said about the stubbornness... yes. yes. a thousand times yes.

the biggest thing that helped us was realizing we were both trying to "win" arguments instead of actually solving anything. once we named that pattern out loud it was kind of embarrassing but also so helpful??

and the emotional depth thing - my husband feels SO much but early on he'd go totally silent when something hurt him. I used to think it meant he didn't care. took me years to understand that silence is actually him processing, not shutting me out.

now when he goes quiet I give him space and he always comes back and actually talks. game changer honestly.

12 years is amazing, congrats to you both 💛

omg @FireAndWater_Val the "trying to win vs trying to solve" thing is SO real. we went through that exact same phase. my husband finally said to me one day "do you want to be right or do you want to be happy" and honestly... rude but also correct lol.

the silence thing too!! it genuinely scared me in the beginning. I thought he was done with me every time he went quiet. learning to just trust that he'll come back to you when he's ready is hard for a leo (we want the drama to resolve NOW) but it's so worth it.

happy to hear you guys are making it work too 🌻

6 years in with my scorpio and the control thing is SO real lol

what helped us was basically designating "domains" - like he handles finances and I handle social plans. sounds cheesy but when we stopped trying to co-captain everything it got so much better

also the thing you said about him seeing through your bravado... I feel that deeply. my scorpio knows when I'm performing confidence vs actually feeling it and honestly it's terrifying but also kind of amazing?? like being truly seen is uncomfortable until it's the best thing ever
