The Scorpio man in a relationship-
A Scorpio man gets strongly attached to his partner once he falls in love. When he falls, he falls hard and comes too close to his lover. He knows who is right for him and never settles for anyone less perfect than the one he has in his mind. His emotions run deep and it’s very difficult to change them. So one should steer clear from him if they are not looking for anything serious with their Scorpio man. Moreover if anyone plays with his feelings the chances of his love turning into hatred are more than the chances of it fading away or disappearing. He will pull up the walls around him and be really fierce in his approach. Other than this a Scorpio man is extremely passionate and can understand his partner very well. He is also extremely loyal, compassionate and supportive. However at the same time he can be vindictive and possessive about his partner.
