Yes after I had the gall to express I had a problem with his gaslighting and justifying. Clearly I had simply misunderstood as Sir Emperor Ego could never be in error. I stopped confronting him because it was useless and amputated. 

My dad has Mars in Scorpio, I married two men with Mars in Scorpio and my youngest son has Mars in Scorpio.

Hell yes I have been attacked by Mars in Scorpio.

I have 5 planets in Scorpio with a Mars square Pluto.... hell yeah I was able to defend myself. Maybe too well. They all backed off. Well.....with my son... I don't think I ever showed my Mars square Pluto .... I love him so much unconditionally that usually talking to him works every time. He has a Gemini Stellium and he loves to talk....and we do and it usually blows over.

With the cutting tongue absent father and the two shit heads I married.... I unleashed the hell hounds on those mother effers.... they went bye bye fast. Never hear from any of them. My son told me his father said.... don't fight with her. You wont win. (he's so full of shit! never talking about what he did to deserve it.....of course)

ST's dad has Mars/Saturn in Scorpio. I don't tangle with him. He has a Libra Moon and I'm a Libra Sun, so we get along pretty well. I've seen him when other people piss him off. You don't want to be in the room when he's mad, LOL  Not if you're smart. His Saturn is probably the one thing that holds him back from killing people sometimes.

His first marriage....HOO BOY. From what I'm told, ST's mom would argue with his dad, and his dad would walk off. Mom follows him, like a typical Aries, to hash things out RIGHT NOW. Weellllll we all know what happens when you force the dragon out of his cave.....

I was never purposefully attacked by Mars in Scorpio (whew), but knowing a few people with that combo I veeery carefully avoid doing anything that might provoke this. I'm not sure I would be able to defend myself. (How? How do people deal with that???)

So it's a defensive mechanism, but I've got Mars in Libra, so that sounds logical. I'd rather flee than fight.

Nope. Don't know any scorpio mars peeps, not common in my circle. I know some Scorpio suns and moons, (family and friends) and Scorpio venus/scorpio mercs; However, my husband's Pisces sun uncle is married to a Libra sun with Scorpio mars. I'm sure she gives the ole' one two, tell it like it is, if forced into a situation. He has Aries Mars. So the Aries/Libra combo is there. Plus she has Libra venus, she wants peaceful, harmonious which she usually gets. My Capricorn mother in law with the Aquarius venus/Jupiter really respects her and is happy her Pisces brother has a good woman. (he too has Aquarius venus)

ETA: omgosh, my Double virgo father in law is scorpio mars. lol  He married a Gemini sun/Aries moon. Have I seen him attack people? He has a Scopio mercury to boot. And yes I have. haha. He has never attacked me personally though. I don't know, I am always lost and incompetent, imo, and he hasn't put me down or said anything about it. There was one time long ago when I got lost in the train and came home late, and my husband told everyone in his family and my father in law was just, what?? she gets lost?? like I have my own personal confusion navigation. *smh*  but he didn't put me down or anything. I only saw him shoot at his sister in law once at a party. She is a Cancer sun, foreigner, her and his brother lives in South America and his Libra sun brother is a professor. His brother speaks fluent Spanish, ect. and she doesn't speak anything else but her language (at least properly or understandable for anyone else outside of her culture). So he shot at her once telling her that she should go to school and learn properly some basic languages for other people to understand her. maybe he was pushed to the limit so he got pissed off.

ETA2: Also, i'm pretty sure some of my family members (aunts and uncles cousins have scorpio mars ) I just only know their sun signs (most of them).
