I still to this day miss him .. and still to this day want to punch him in the face

(If I have any advice to Scorpio women with Leo men:
Let him be dominant but do NOT put up with disrespect, they will test you, and to pass the test you need to show courage and self-worth. Never lose your own ego in the midst of their paramount self-image. Also be mindful that they take disrespect VERY personally!)

I really went to town with this so please enjoy;

I am a 23 year old Scorpio Woman. I recently stopped dating a ,28 year old, last day Leo (almost Virgo). I am really into Astrology and had a really solid 14 month relationship with an almost Cancer- Leo, so I knew going into it that I would need to stroke his immense ego a lot and treat him like a king. I pride myself on not putting up with bullsh*t or disrespect from the men I date. I also pride myself on knowing beyond a reasonable doubt how to seduce a man. However I met my freaking match with this Leo!

He captivated my every curiosity, the sex was amazing, he was so confident, and I found his cockiness and unwavering sense of entitlement perversely fascinating. In the beginning I played semi-uninterested. Then once I realized how much I adored him I flipped the wifey-switch so to speak: I cooked him homemade dinners 1-2 times a week, I would surprise him with help around the house cleaning, I would go out of my way to offer him massages after a long day at work, and absolutely catered to him in bed.

I am used to being swept off my feet by men, adored, and treated like a queen. However with this man the biggest turn on was the challenge, the first man that didn’t fall all over me right away, he rarely complimented me; the plus side being it was the truth when he did, and he would constantly correct me and not even realize it was hurtful (I attribute this to the Virgo lingerance). My biggest regret was giving him too much leeway, I was always told not to correct or criticize a Leo, but by the time the relationship was over I felt almost abused at how much crap I made myself put up with. Our sense of what is respectful was totally not the same.

Thinking back our biggest problem was we were both in the same social circle and constantly Facebook stalking each other, neither one of us was going to be the first on to initiate “the conversation” because both of us were extremely suspicious of one another! The true killer was our drunk and emotionally charged text offs, both of us constantly jumping to jealous conclusions. I had great expectations in the beginning, but he continued to thrive in his blatant flirting with other women, and to me that was very disrespectful. No man gets the best of me so I continued to flirt and court other men, the whole time me and the Leo are exclusively sleeping together and spending most of our free time together mind you.

We danced around commitment in the first few months, and then he claimed “ I just need to get to know you better” and the longer I waited for him to be ready the more compromised and worthless I felt. Thus the more I found myself purposefully pushing his buttons. It ended very volatile with both of us in a verbal war over each other’s “moral character” and bruised ego’s all around … I still till this day miss him .. and still till this day want to punch him in the face.
