Will a Scorpio Man Keep Coming Back? (And Why?)

The reason behind a breakup will determine whether or not Scorpio comes back to his ex.

Who caused the breakup? Was it mutual? Did he want to break up in the first place?

Usually, Scorpio likes to move on. He knows the relationship ended for a reason. Maybe he wants to work on himself so he can be a better boyfriend in the future. Maybe he needs to reconsider his taste in women.

When a Scorpio does go back to his ex, it’s not always because he actually wants a relationship with her. Sometimes, he’s just bored or lonely.

Why’d You Breakup?

Will a Scorpio man come back to his ex after she’s been unfaithful? It’s not likely. Scorpio doesn’t easily forgive a betrayal like that.

Cheating is one of the worst things you can do to a Scorpio. If you committed to being in a monogamous relationship with him and you broke that commitment, he’s going to feel deeply betrayed.

When a Scorpio man dumps you, that’s often the end of the relationship permanently. He doesn’t usually make decisions like that on a whim. When a Scorpio man is done with you, it’s usually for good.

If you broke up with a Scorpio and he didn’t want the relationship to end, that’s when he’ll try to get you back. If you change your mind, he’ll likely be open to giving the relationship another try.

Even if the breakup is mutual, he might still want you back later. If you didn’t do anything to anger him and he doesn’t feel betrayed, the relationship might be rekindled at a later time.

Confused Feelings

When a man keeps leaving and coming back, it’s often because he’s confused about how he feels. He doesn’t know what he wants.

Sometimes, a relationship ends because of circumstances, not because of the feelings or desires of the people involved.

Perhaps you had to move for a job or because of school and he couldn’t move with you. You two didn’t want to have a long-distance relationship, so you broke up.

He might have confused feelings after that. He may still love you and want to be with you, just not if it means being in a long-distance relationship. He’ll likely stay in touch in this case.

He may also be confused if you betrayed him and he still has feelings for you. He’ll be angry. He may even hate you.

If part of him still cares about you, though, he’s going to have a hard time figuring out if he actually wants the relationship to be over.

Intense Emotions

Scorpio feels things deeply. He is an intense person and his emotions can be overwhelming at times.

Scorpio is all an all-or-nothing kind of person. He doesn’t do things halfway.

When he was in a relationship with you, he was fully committed. He gave you his entire heart and put everything he had into maintaining the relationship.

Sometimes after a breakup, Scorpio has a hard time turning those intense feelings he had for his partner off. If she broke up with him, he’s not going to suddenly stop feeling devoted to her.

Other times, his feelings do a complete 180. This happens if his ex cheated or if it was a bad breakup but it can also happen in the case of a mutual breakup.

Those intense emotions will either reverse or turn off. Love will become either hatred or complete indifference. In either case, he’s not likely to want to start the relationship up again.

Rebounds

Scorpio often rebounds after the end of a relationship, regardless of why it ended.

He has no problem with having a few one-night stands or a casual fling. Sometimes, that’s just what he needs to help cool off his intense feelings of heartbreak.

Rebounds often serve their purpose and help him to get over his ex. The reason why some people go back to their ex is because they don’t allow themselves to grieve the relationship and move on.

If Scorpio moves on from a relationship, he’s less likely to ever want to get back together with that person. Even if they stay friends and are on good terms, he won’t want to go backward.

Rebounds also show his ex that he has no problem sleeping with other people. If she knows he’s sleeping with others, she’s less likely to try and initiate contact and rekindle the relationship.

Transformation

Scorpio is associated with transformation. The life, death, and rebirth cycle is one that is well-known to Scorpio.

Relationships change people. The end of a relationship does as well. Scorpio usually uses a breakup as an excuse for change.

He’ll reflect on what went wrong with his relationship. If he decides something about him made the relationship more difficult, he’ll try to work on himself.

He might also realize he put up with things from his ex that he shouldn’t have. He’ll make an effort to not allow people to treat him that way in the future.

He’ll become a different person post-breakup. He won’t necessarily want to go back to his ex because that would mean going back to the “old” version of himself he was when he was with her.

He’s Bored

Boredom can drive Scorpio to sleep with an ex of his but it can also keep him from falling into old patterns with her.

Scorpio hates to be bored. If he feels bored and unsatisfied, he’ll do anything he can do to fix that.

This makes Scorpio an exciting person to be with at times. If he’s bored, he’ll be open to suggestions for activities.

If an ex shows up and he’s feeling unsatisfied, he might sleep with her or start talking to her again just for something to do.

Before you get back with your ex, figure out how to tell if a Scorpio man misses you or if he’s just bored.

On the other hand, if he was constantly feeling bored with his ex, that fact will keep him from trying to go back to her.

He’s Lonely

If a Scorpio man keeps coming back to somebody who isn’t good for him, one reason might be because he’s lonely.

Scorpio thinks of himself as an independent person but deep down, he craves affection and companionship. He wants to be with somebody who he can love and trust.

It’s hard loving again after the end of a relationship. Some Scorpios end up in toxic on-again, off-again relationships because of this.

If he’s feeling down and lonely, he might message his ex. If she’s receptive, he might end up doing something he later regrets in a moment of vulnerability.

He’s Obsessive

When a Scorpio keeps going back to his ex, it’s usually because he never got over her in the first place. If she dumped him and he didn’t want the relationship to end, he’s likely to hang around for a while.

When a Scorpio man wants you back, he’s going to have a hard time letting go of the idea. He can’t just turn off his emotions. He sometimes lets them get the best of him.

Scorpio makes things worse for himself after breakups sometimes by keeping tabs of his ex on social media. He’ll keep scrolling through her profiles. He’ll check in to see what she’s up to.

Will a Scorpio man let you go eventually? He will. It just takes a lot of time and a lot of effort on his part. He has to want to let you go. If he doesn’t want to, it’s going to take a long time.

He’s Jealous

If your Scorpio ex-boyfriend only calls you up after you’ve gotten into a new relationship, it’s just because he’s jealous.

He might not even actually want to be with you. He just doesn’t want you to be with somebody else, especially if he’s still single.

If you’ve started seeing somebody new and your Scorpio ex calls you up, be wary. He might honestly want to get back together. He might also just want to sabotage you.

He’s Nostalgic

Why do Scorpios come back years after a breakup sometimes? It might be because they simply got nostalgic for the relationship they once had with their ex.

It’s easy to think back on the good times in a relationship and miss them. Scorpio is also excellent at remembering the bad times but if he’s in a nostalgic mood, he might ignore those in favor of the good.

Scorpio sometimes gets nostalgic for the idea of a relationship. He misses being in a relationship, not the actual person he was in the relationship with. He misses what he could have had, not what he actually had.

If nostalgia is causing your Scorpio ex to call you up, he’ll quickly realize he doesn’t actually want you back. All it will take is a conversation or two to bring him back to reality.
