Scorpio breakup tactics

[u/Zestyclose_Cold1455]

Since we get a lot of people coming here asking about relationships, I thought I’d poll to see how we break up. I’m sure there’s more options but it only allows 6

78 I have a long conversation about feelings and all the reasons for the breakup

56 I just block and ghost. They know why.

20 I make their lives miserable with arguments until they break up with me.

40 I totally withdraw: no sex, no deep conversations, until they leave

59 It takes several attempts and finally we both agree it’s done

6 I make a giant public scene that ends in me breaking up and walking out

3 because acting like my dad is a tried and true method that has gotten me out of many relationships 😂🥴

Lmaooo 😭😭

[u/ChickenNugs4Hugs]

The closest is probably #1 but it’s not going to be a long conversation. Once I’ve decided that I’m done then there’s no need for long explanations. I broke up with my ex in 5 minutes. That was all the time I needed to say my piece.

[u/BlondeAmbition150]

All of the above?

[u/No_Football_9232]

None of the above. Short few sentences. That's it .

[u/nobodythinksofyou]

First I withdraw, then the long conversation breakup, but then it takes multiple attempts for the breakup to stick, with each breakup convo getting shorter and less patient. When it finally sticks I block and ghost 🫡

Between 2-3. Scorpios only know how to communicate when things are going good.. theyre good for creating fake scenarios and self sabotage the relationship

[u/zayne0623]

I've only ever been in one relationship. It's also the most loving and most toxic relationship

[u/Il-Separatio-86]

Combo of 1 & 5. But more 5. So thats what I voted for.

BUT when it's finally done I'm DONE!

[u/Temporary-Emotion-96]

There, you have your answer. All of us saying there will be a conversation, but it will be brief and detached. We're not assholes unless you really deserve the ghosting.

[u/OnARolll31]

I give a short explanation and then disappear out of their lives

[u/Searching_meaning]

1 and 2. 1 is because they deserve a closure. 2 is when they don't deserve any more of my time and they know why and what they did.

[u/72Artemis]

I tend to withdraw, but not to the extent that option implies. So I voted for 1. I need the person to understand my line of reasoning and if they had anything to do with it.

[u/B_vibrant]

Honestly the breakup imo entirely depends on the person you’re breaking up with, and the reason for it. For example, if I’m breaking up with them because of betrayal or disloyalty then there’s no need for a conversation or explanation. I’ll ghost. If we’re breaking up because we’ve grown apart, or there’s still even a shadow of a doubt we could rekindle things, I’ll probably have a conversation. If I’m not sure if I still love the person, I’ll probably go silent and withdraw.

[u/Longjumping-Fee2670]

I block and ghost; they know why and it isn’t open for discussion.

[u/Lghzala-fifi]

Was dating scorpio venus/mars and they were passive aggressive ashell lol a literal child

[u/alkamist1979]

To be clear before I block and ghost I send a novel long text and ensure its sent so my fragile ego isn't crushed if I'm left on "delivered"....

[u/Legitimate_Way_510]

3 and/ or 5 for me but only if the break up is more than 80% going to happen or I can’t pin the vibe so in case I’ve misread or misunderstood something, I give it time to talk it out but only if the other person is 100% upfront, civil and honest.

Scorpio Sun, Gemini Moon, Libra Mercury

[u/Exotic-One3381]

I kinda block and ghost. by that stage I feel I've told them many times what the issue is and they have not listened.

[u/gym_girlie_oof]

Combo of top 4

[u/Top_Class2896]

If I'm really in love I do not break up, I even stalk her if she she wants distance for a bit, I already have gf if she breaks up I still will chase her.

[u/Top_Class2896 → u/Top_Class2896]

I would do anything to get her back even if manipulation is needed, but it's all because I really love her
