The end of an affair

If a Scorpio has an affair, it is often because the sexual life within the marriage has gone badly wrong. Scorpios seem able to attract partners without much effort, and will take the upper hand from the start, so that the ending affair is an easy matter. However, the Scorpio who is rejected is always very wounded and may want to take revenge. Some Scorpios immediately attempt to hurt their ex’s. Others take their revenge in more subtle ways over a period of time. A rejected Scorpio is unlikely to forgive, and will never forget, the hurt.
