Good Question...

I always wondered this myself because it has always seemed like I have a low tolerance for men, but it is really a low tolerance for BS. For a long time I thought it was just me because my friends would have boyfriends that did crazy stuff to them whereas I would have left them in an instant...they stayed.

I think it is all a matter of your personal preferences and limits. No other person can tell you what your limit is...you have to know and ask yourself.

It seems like I have double standards with this. I have zero tolerance too. I always say I don't want to be in a relationship I'd rather be with someone I love. Settling is not good. Either way, I find myself not stuck in situations but still hurting like hell from them, after I leave. I guess the important thing is good judgement before, or early in this game we call life.

TG...I understand. Honestly I am the same way, I think it is the whole Venus in Gemini thing, which I have also.

It's like, you CAN be faithful and only want one man but ONLY if that man IS your knight in shining armor and is EVERYTHING you need him to be. Otherwise you are like I'd rather just "date" than settle into a relationship with someone I only feel mediocre about when my Prince Charming could be right around the corner!

Sound about right?

I think it is more selfish to be with someone just because you don't want to be lonely...Your significant other could have the right person for them right around their corner also but even though you KNOW you don't love (or even like)them as much as they do you, you keep them around.

Very unfair to both parties! Why is taking responsibility for your own happiness selfish? My Sag ex wants me back SOOOO bad & even though I am VERY lonely at this point and would love to have a companion who actually wants me AND my babies, I know it will never work out...so I tell him all the time, find someone you like that's more compatible because we are like oil & water. Don't mix!

Noone should settle. If people would stop that, the world would be a better place.

draw the line at real life. I fantasize about the star signs but come back to earth when I step into real life.

Taurusgoddes don't let astrology cloud your judgement. I'm sure you're very smart and knows what's good and what's bad.

Is cancer guy giving you trouble again ^^?

How far should a person go for something they want?As far as my eye could see,but if i was blind den how far that would be hmmmmm. But i will tell u this once loved i would do almost anything to keep that dear to my heart,despite any arguments and tribulations. But as a cancer and it is a habit oof mines,once i see BS or any kind of sour coated bad habits forming,i retreat. Take my own space and time and not go dat far with de said person fo a while or for good.
