AIBU or is it a scorpio thing?

I really feel like dp is being secretive with his phone and if i walk past where I could possibly see what he's reading he'l put it down/out of sight. I did read once that its a scorpio thing to want to know everything about your partner and yet want to keep some of my own life private, which I know is totaly unfair, it drives me crazy though thinking what he's up to even though I know its probably nothing...anyone else feel like this and how can I make myself get over it? I definitely have the scorpio jealousy and its ridiculous at times! I dont really think he's up to anything but it annoys me thinking he's being secretive about anything...

Forget about Scorpio nonsense. If you feel he is being secretive with his phone that may be a warning sign.

So you think because he was born in November he wants to hide his phone?

I think the op is saying she is a Scorpio, not her DH.

Trust your instincts not just your star sign.

I'm a Scorpio.

I was about to say it could be a scorpio thing of yours!! I know several and they do like to ferret stuff out. The best Scorpio I know is well aware of this potentiality in herself and is very mindful. Another scorpio friend of mine does get a bit controlling.

So there could be that..

But then again why is he hiding his phone suddenly? Does he know you like to know everything and is guarding his space? Or do you think he is actually hiding something?

we had this whole issue before and when i raised it with him he made a point of leaving phone out or near me for a while which made me feel like i was being paranoid or something, I dont want to go through the phone when he's not looking not that i get the chance as its mostly in his pocket....maybe its the only thing i can do though....?to be sure...

Sorry yes I'm the scorpio and yes I suppose i am always wanting to know everything about people but I dont see why I cant really!lol its just I'm actualy starting to wonder whether its me being overly inquisitive or if he is actualy being secretive... would you want to know who was texting ur dp or is that overly nosey?

I personally would say 'Oh!! My phone's gone! Oh, it's W and D, about that weekend thing.' and tell all my business to my partner. I guess being honest, I'd like it if he was the same and we shared everything. But I also know that there are people out there who are different and dont say a word about stuff they don;t want to. My scorpio friend I was on about earlier can have whole scenarios going on that she knows of, to do with others, and never breathes a word about it. I get jealous sometimes cos she knows everything about me! (Well within reason.)

somethingtosay thats interesting you mention the control thing because he's mentioned control freak in passing about other people but I did wonder if it was secretly aimed at me...maybe I am a bit controling and I suppose to someone very laid back it might seem stiffling. So maybe i should try and give him back his space a bit, or shal i check the phone? hmmmm..

It's got nothing to do with your star sign. I have news father Christmas isn't real.

yes we usually do the 'oh its so and so about the weekend thing especialy since i thought he was being secretive before i think what upset me is he had messages tonight didn't even hint at who they were from then put phone down fast when i walked behind him. But I didn't want to cause another argument about phones so i am now quietly fuming instead. stupid i know.

I'm a scorpio and I do need like to know everything and I feel very put out at home and at work if I don't know every petty detail of everything.

That said, I don't feel suspicious over DH and his phone because I have no reason to be.

I think you need to think less about your star sign and more about how you are feeling about your dh's phone Sad

BayPolar · 10/01/2012 04:35

I'm Aries but feel like a Scorpio after reading this. Great! Just when I was getting a grip on my baypolarism. ;)

TheCrunchUnderfoot · 10/01/2012 07:29

Get the phone and have a look. Methinks this may be your instincts talking. (am not a Scorpio btw)

SantaIsAnAnagramOfSatan · 10/01/2012 07:32

they also say scorpios have very, very good instincts. check it out.

SoupDragon · 10/01/2012 07:36

YABU to think your birthday has anything to do with it.

Pagwatch · 10/01/2012 07:40

I am a scorpion.

It has nothing to do with your star sign and everything to do with your thinking he us up to something.

Have you not said "why do you always hide your phone when I am nearby? What is that all about? Because either it means you are hiding something or you are being odd. What is going on - we are supposed to be in a relationship"

Would that be simpler that figuring out how the heavens may have affected your personality or nicking his phone.

Catsmamma · 10/01/2012 07:41

what star sign is he??...he may be incompatible with a scorpio.
