Will Your Scorpio Man Apologize (After Upsetting You)?

Just because you think a Scorpio man owes you an apology doesn’t mean you will get one from him. Scorpio men can be surprising in that they are sensitive but stubborn.

A Scorpio man who knows he did something wrong still avoids taking responsibility. Men born under this sign must be in control at all times.

If a Scorpio man apologizes to you, he believes he has lost the upper hand. This assumption prevents him from admitting when he has done something wrong.

He Blames You

One of the first signs you’ll see when a Scorpio man knows he was wrong but doesn’t want to apologize is him shifting blame. He points the finger at you and finds reasons to blame you for whatever went wrong.

Initially, a Scorpio man tries to blame a third party. But if he can’t find an outside party to blame, he will twist the facts and manipulate the narrative to make it seem like everything wrong is your fault.

Scorpio men are prideful, and while they aren’t arrogant like Leo or Sagittarius men, they are sensitive and cover their flaws to avoid shame. They try to hide from accountability.

A Scorpio man blames you, putting you on the defensive, which can lead to your relationship falling apart. But the sad truth about a Scorpio man is he will risk sabotaging a relationship rather than apologizing.

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

He Gaslights You

Scorpio men are perceptive and can sense your unconscious desires. He can see beneath the surface and knows how to manipulate your emotions.

Scorpio men are likely to use this strategy if it means he can shift the topic to an issue that makes them upset. When he does this, a Scorpio man elicits your sympathy and makes you go from being angry at him to try to appease him.

He Doubles Down

The more you push a Scorpio man for an apology, the more he doubles down. It does not matter if you present him with indisputable evidence showing he is to blame and owes you an apology.
