Will a Scorpio Man Apologize After Upsetting You?

The zodiac signs all communicate in different ways, including having their unique apology styles.

So, what can you expect from a Scorpio man who owes you an apology?

Understanding the Scorpio man in love and how he acts when he is sorry will help you predict what his apology looks like, and if you are likely to get one.

He Hates Apologizing

Scorpios are perhaps the least apologetic sign of the entire zodiac. They hate apologizing and will try almost anything to avoid doing it.

The typical Scorpio personality is very proud, so it’s hard for a Scorpio man to ever accept that he has done anything wrong.

When he refuses to apologize, even if he is clearly in the wrong, don’t take it as one of the signs a Scorpio doesn’t like you anymore.

You should never try to get an apology from a Scorpio man just for the sake of it. If you just want to prove that he’s wrong but your feelings aren’t actually hurt, pushing for an apology will only backfire.

Refusing to apologize is typical Scorpio male behavior, so try not to take it personally. If you can live without an apology, try to move past whatever he did wrong on your own.

He Will Try To Shift The Blame

Scorpios are so reluctant to apologize that they will do nearly anything to avoid showing contrition.

Scorpios are very intelligent and manipulative, so if he can find a way to shift the blame, a Scorpio man won’t take responsibility for his wrong-doing.

A typical Scorpio man’s tactic in an argument with his partner is to turn the blame around on her.

If you’re fighting with a Scorpio guy, you might find yourself going crazy because even though you know he’s wrong, somehow you’re the one who ends up feeling guilty.

When you have a disagreement with your Scorpio man and he tries to blame you for everything that goes wrong, it’s one of the signs a Scorpio man is playing you.

You might not be able to get him to apologize, but you shouldn’t buy into his deception and let him get away with trying to trick you, either.

He Will Convince Himself He’s Not Guilty

One of the reasons Scorpios hate apologizing so much is that they are consummate control freaks.

When they hurt someone, they either did it on purpose so they genuinely are not sorry, or they made a mistake.

If they hurt someone accidentally, it means they lost control or didn’t plan properly and made a mistake. There is nothing a Scorpio hates more than admitting to a mistake.

They hate accepting blame so much that they will convince everyone, even themselves, that they aren’t guilty.

Scorpios are master manipulators, so a Scorpio man who knows he is wrong will even lie to himself until he believes he is innocent.

Because they so rarely believe that they are wrong or actually owe anyone an apology, it’s nearly impossible to get Scorpio men to say they are sorry.

He Will Try To Convince You He’s Not Guilty

Not only will a Scorpio man convince himself that he’s not guilty, but he will do everything in his power to make you believe it, too.

He may try to shift the blame onto you, and if that doesn’t work, he will point the finger at someone else.

He will also come up with a million excuses and reasons why he is not at fault for whatever he did wrong.

Don’t let a guilty Scorpio man gaslight or deceive you. Trust your instincts and stick to your beliefs when you know in your heart that he’s wrong.

He Feels Terrible About Himself When He’s Wrong

On the rare occasion when a Scorpio knows and accepts that he’s wrong, he feels really terrible about it.

If he made a mistake, he gets insecure and feels bad about himself. Part of the reason he doesn’t want to accept responsibility is that it hurts him.

A Scorpio when hurt tends to either bottle up his emotions or lash out, which explains why a Scorpio may become even more emotional and upset when he knows he’s wrong.

Know that your Scorpio partner is his own toughest critic, and he gets insecure and feels bad about himself when he makes mistakes.

There is no need to try to make him feel worse than he already does when he recognizes he did something wrong.

He Hurts When He Hurts You

Because they are so sensitive and intuitive, Scorpios are also very empathetic and compassionate.

When a Scorpio man hurts you, you should know that it hurts him, too.

He takes pleasure in inflicting pain on those he believes deserve it, like his enemies, but he never wants to be cruel to the people he loves.

When a Scorpio man hurts your feelings, it tears him up inside. He might not be willing to say he’s sorry, but his internal guilt and suffering are enough retribution.

If your Scorpio man gets emotional and wounded when he causes you pain, it’s one of the signs that a Scorpio man has feelings for you.

He’s not trying to make the situation about him or get out of apologizing. He genuinely feels your pain, even though he is the one who caused it.

He Gets Embarrassed When He’s Wrong

For a Scorpio man, expressing feelings and being vulnerable is incredibly difficult. Even when he loves and trusts you implicitly, he hates showing any weakness.

Apologizing and admitting to wrong-doing make him feel uncomfortably vulnerable, which is part of why he hates saying he’s sorry.

It’s mortifying for him to apologize and it’s a huge blow to his ego to admit he made a mistake.

If he apologizes to you, don’t rub it in or try to make him repeat it. He is likely already very embarrassed and wants to move on from his mistake as quickly as possible.

He Will Apologize With Conditions

Because they have such a hard time admitting faults, a typical Scorpio apology often starts with, “I’m sorry, but…”

Then your Scorpio guy will give a list of reasons explaining why he’s not really sorry at all.

He might also apologize by making a deal, like saying, “I will apologize if you…”

An apology with conditions is not a real apology, so it makes sense that this is a common Scorpio apology technique.

Don’t accept his insincere remorse and don’t let him trick you into bartering for his apology. Tell him that unless he simply says he’s sorry without conditions, you know he’s not truly sorry at all.

He Will Apologize in The Bedroom

Scorpios are complex and nuanced, and their communication style is, too.

Scorpios are also passionate and loving, so they have several different love languages. One of a Scorpio man’s favorite ways of expressing his feelings is through physical touch.

A Scorpio man in love might have a hard time verbally apologizing to his partner, but he will more than make up for it in the bedroom.

Nothing says “I’m sorry” to a Scorpio guy like steamy, passionate makeup sex.

When your Scorpio man feels guilty, he will go the extra mile to show you how sorry he is in the bedroom.

He will be tender, sweet, romantic, and generous. He will do all of your favorite things and make the entire experience about you.

This isn’t a one-time treat, either. A Scorpio man will be extra attentive in bed for a long time after his mistake.

Not only will he cater to you in the bedroom, but a contrite Scorpio man will also be super affectionate and caring after he hurts your feelings.

Don’t be surprised when your sorry Scorpio guy becomes more cuddly than usual and shows more public displays of affections when you are mad at him.

When he touches you to show that he’s sorry, he is trying to build emotional intimacy through physical intimacy.

He Won’t Repeat His Mistake

Whether or not your Scorpio man apologizes to you, one thing you can count on is that he will never make the same mistake to hurt you again.

Scorpios are very deliberate and calculated, so when he does something wrong and it has a negative outcome, like hurting your feelings or causing an argument, he will want to avoid doing it again in the future.

He might not verbally admit he’s sorry, but if you call out his mistake or show him that you’re hurt, he will do his best to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Ultimately, Scorpios have tender hearts and just want to please the ones they love and make them happy.

Even when he’s not sorry, your Scorpio guy doesn’t want to hurt you and he will take stock of what he did to cause the problem and will never do it again.
