Is My Boyfriend Cheating? Scorpio Rising, 8th House Sun: Astrology-Based Advice

Written by Elsa
Published July 11, 2006

Hi Elsa,

I have had a gut feeling my live-in boyfriend is cheating on me. The other day, he was supposed to be shopping with his cousin. Well, when I got to my friend’s house, the cousin was there and said he hasn't talked to my boyfriend for two weeks!! Once I caught him in that lie, I moved out.

When I called my boyfriend, he became outraged at his cousin for saying anything at all to me and instantly accused me of sleeping with his cousin. I had never met his cousin until this day. He finally told me he was with a girl, but he swore that he's not sleeping with her.

How do I know if this isn't a lie as well? I love my boyfriend, but I've been stomped on so many times with past relationships that I'm going nuts. I'm so overwhelmed I don't know what to do and I don't want to make the wrong decision. What should I do?

Feeling Betrayed

scorpio suncatcherDear Betrayed,

It sure sounds like he’s screwing around to me! And even if he’s not, he’s a liar. And if you can’t trust a person, they are pretty much useless in my book. I’m serious.

Look at it this way. Some women have lying bastards for husbands and for boyfriends. Do you want to be one of them? I don’t. So consequently, if I were you, I would toss this guy, aiming him so he lands on his head. Then I'd go paint my nails in preparation to fish another line and find another man. A better man.

Now that’s what I would do just as soon as I knew a man was lying to me. But actually, I think your man is far more dangerous. Because look what he did when your confronted him. He denied everything and made counter-allegations. That right there is a classic mind-fucking technique, designed to leave a person confused. And considering this is his first line of defense, I have one word for you: RUN!

And one more thing. You're a Scorpio rising with an 8th house Sun. Always trust your gut because it rules.

Good luck.

Feeling Betrayed, Elsa's advice seems sound. You know, it might be a case of insecurity on his part and the old adage, 'you hurt the ones you love'.

Me, being a hardcore Scorpion, I am hardcore true blue till the end. And sometimes the mind goes haywire and...

The lies and trust advice is good to follow on this one. Whether he actually screwed around, there is confusion in the trust department.

best,
DM

This is the 21th century. All options should be presented at the altar. Marriage and relationships are foolish. Remember, you only live once. Grab whatever makes you feel good.

Look, no! Just because he doesn't tell you the truth doesn't mean he's lying. Perhaps he's out doing something you wouldn't approve of? You just thinking it's cheating because that's worst case. Then again, he could be. You guys need to talk I think!

It sound to me like a lot of these girls don't have much back bone. If somebody treats you like that and doesn't care how it makes you feel when you catch him with some chick that you don't even know, you are probably much better off with out him. There are plenty of guys out there who do not treat their girlfriends like dogs because they care about how they feel. You are worth more DO NOT sell your self short. And by the way paul not telling the truth IS lying.

Hey,i have a boyfriend.I'm only a teenager and i'm already going thourgh streesful reliefs.I'm so afraid that my one and only true love is cheating on me,even my friends tell me to watch out , but when i question him about it,its always No,never in a lifetime!I trust him then i don't.I also do some really dangerous things to my body by just thinking about it being true or not.I love him with all of my heart.I even cut myself by just thinking about that he's probaly doing it.We always kiss every morning at school.Now,he suppose to be coming over my house this weekend.The sad part is that 2weeks ago when i told my mom his name,i found out that we were cousins!Yeah,thats pretty shocking but i guess our love 4 each other is everlasting.He also asked me today that if he comes over to my house that he wanted me to lose my virginty to him.Yes,i'm still a virgin.I'm soooooooo scared!Please,someone,i need advice,NOW!Help me because i sooooo don't want to get hurt.

Seriously. If any male did that to me, i would drop him straight away! you simply cannnot trust liar's he tried to blame his lie on you! by saying that you had been sleeping with his cousin when you obviously hadn't. Your boyfriend truely sounds like a jerk. I hate how most girls these days are treated like dirt by most males. seriously, we can do better without them, its not like we "need" them financially to survive. The problem is men think that we do.

i.ve been with a full blown scorpio guy for over a year now.. broken up and gotten back together several times.. most recently because found out im pregnant.. due sep 22.. lil bit of a cusp there. im a leo. going with your gut while ur with a scorpio is damn near impossible. why because a scorpio man is very dramatic and the biggest woman when it comes to deceit, manipulation, and blame. we fit together like the moon and the stars. and its been a wonderful learning experience. but if i could go back in time i never would have started dating him in the first place. situations you.ll get put in will leave u so confused and hurt you will not know what to do with yourself. have u ever noticed how much shit other girls try to start while your dating a scorpio? kinda makes u think dont it? i have never been hurt by anyone as much as i have been by a scorpio. im a strong person but if date one u better be ready. at times they are so simple that it makes them complicated too. its insane.

Same thing happened to me in early '06. I'm a Taurus Sun/Scorpio Rising--I'd been in a rel w/ my bf (Sagittarius sun) for over a yr when we moved in together; more so due to circumstances (both our leases were ending and we rented together temporarily to save money), but it WAS A MISTAKE! ugh. That saying "You stop learning about each other after you move in together" .. Should've been a no-go. He was constantly jealous/suspicious and he thought I was cheating w/ a co-worker, and he had revenge sex w/ one of these dumb chicks @ his then-workplace. Whatever. I wasn't mad at her, but of course w/ him b/c he allowed another stranger into our rel. Bottom line: the bf you described sounds like my ex. OVer! Cheaters/liars suffer chronic insecurity and while they desire and long for a solid emotional connection, they also seek and "need" constant validation of their attractiveness (Ego boosts) from OTHER WOMEN -- and if those OTHER WOMEN seduce them for sex, you BETTER BELIEVE your MAN WILL GIVE IN. Any man who IS JEALOUS and CONTROLLING and INSECURE is a CHEATER/LIAR. HE WILL NOT CHANGE. LEAVE HIM--IT HURTS A LOT when You love the man, but to suffer and also jeopardize your health (they are reckless and have unprotected sex with these OTHER WOMEN) is JUST not worth it.
