Leo man and Taurus female?

I know everything points out to this budding relationship to be a total disaster in the making,
but I'm not sure if me being a leo rising makes any difference. I embody nearly all taurus traits, down to appearance, but I also embody many leo traits as well. In fact, I have gotten along best with leos.
I'm not relying entirely on astrology, I am simply curious :]
Do you think me being a leo rising makes any different in my compatibility with a leo sun?

An improvement, I'm assuming?

My best friend is a Leo married to a Taurus and it works out, they've been together for over ten years. They always fight but I don't really see them without each other. I can say they're the best example of a married couple, I've seen. No matter all the fights, they share solid basic values that keeps them together.

sounds...it can work if its meant to.

me a leo, dated a taurus for 6yrs lived with him for 4 1/2yrs--he was my boss and my man i worked with him at his company.It can be tough and challenging, but if you are up for it give it a try and dont listen to what other people have to say or astology, finding out for yourself is the best and only method.

Totally, I am a Taurus, and I have a close Leo female friend, and most recently dated a male Leo (off and on) for the past 3 years, and it is not a bad match. On the female friend side; it works because I am NOT an attention grabber, and she is; however, we are both great women and we respect one another implicility. With the male, I've dated a lot of Libra's and Scorps, and I can tell you UNEQUIVICALLY that the Leo is night and day from the Libra and Scorps (surprisingly, the Libra's and Scorps I've dated have some similar traits—? odd to me). The good things about my Leo relationship was that he would NOT lie to me about anything. He takes family and friendships very seriously, and he respected me a lot. Sometimes things are just not meant to be.....but, it doesn't make one person or sign better or worse than another --- just different. It can work, and Taurus can keep the Leo's grounded, and the Leo's can bring out a lot of passion in the Taurus, and make them escape....even if it's just for a little while, before they firmly come smashing down to their earth 🙂

My boyfriend is a leo with a leo rising,

I'm a taurus with a leo rising too 🙂 Similar to you.

We have been on and off for almost a year (a year next month) and it has been hard but our will power to communicate/make things work out has kept us staying together (that is from both sides) ...

Based on what I have witnessed, the Taurus female is not happy in this relationship but she tries to be.
A lot of fighting but too fixed signs find it hard to let go, so they stay together.

I think you have a point. I read that too and I'm now starting to see what the astrologers mean. Its not that I'm not happy with him, he makes me happy or shall i gear more towards CONTENT and my life is pretty much boring without him but sometimes i feel like im only staying because im use to him now and change would be frightening to me. Also, i feel like everything is about him. Don't get me wrong, i love praising and showering him with affection. He never use to do that with me...he does that a WHOLE lot now let me tell you (sometimes a bit too much) i just had to bring the sweet guy inside of him out. But in the beginning, i must admit it was very much....all on me. I try to please him, he cannot be pleased 100% but we both love the connection we have and we've built up quite a lot together...so letting go now, its pretty much out of the question. We do love each other. I do love him even though it sounds like i don't but i think its more geared towards loving him in a caring sort of way now especially since he broke my trust.
