Posted by TxOgalHow long into the relationship did he propose?
I forgot to mention that he also brought up that he knew i was hesitant when he proposed to me and that he felt me being hesitant when he told me that he comes from a simple family. And how i'd want a guy who runs a couple of companies n from huge family and all that.
I never mentioned this. I love him deeply and I was intimate with him. I accepted his proposal to me, he just caught me off guard when he said it.

Posted by Scorpio123"Think abuse like."
?
Mmmm girl, you gotta run! Run for the hills. What a misogynet! This isn't cute or adorable or coming from a loving place, he's so insecure and lame and that is control, ugly.
If it's not cute now, it'll be 20 times LESS cute once you're married. Think, abuse like.

Posted by SimsimiI think big part of it is culture.... Because I talked to a couple of married friends about it, and they tell me how they argued with their husband about that too .. that their wife shouldnt ask them where they going n how they want their wife all to themselves. It is a common thing, but i thought hes different ... 😢 but his controlling behavior is already scaring me now, i dont want to spend the rest of my life being controlled while he does as he pleases ...thats not fair at all..
Yes, some taurus men get like that. When it gets bad, everything is not always rosy. You call them out on it or move on from them. Don't key into that angelic BS.
Some taurus men go over board and become this annoying.
Its all cute initially and shit but don't get it twisted.
Sometimes, they don't want you to have male friends and most times it's ridiculous then again culture could play into it too, upbringing, past experiences.
I'm not saying you should stay in this, im saying a huge percentage of people do this and lie about it in public. Don't believe the hype

I think I ended up dating someone who has my dad's bad qualities .... N i thought I wanted someone totally different :/
Problem is bf had so many things that liked about him .... It is shocking to me now that they dont carry any weight against being emotiinally abusive and controlling ....
Uh i am trying to get myself out of the picture and look at this objectively

Posted by AgentP911Mid East. It is common that men dont want their woman to talk to other men. But it is not normal to be emotionally abusive.Posted by TxOgal

Posted by TxOgalit's interesting. there is a theory that we will choose partners that are similar to both our parents good and bad traits. the theory goes that we will be drawn to what we are already familiar with.

Posted by Scorpio123It is different, in some regions families are more strict than in other regions. I wouldn't tag it as "low class" it makes me cringe cause I believe we are all the same. However, he does come from a more strict region and this is something I thought I can deal with, since he was always trying to be understanding and we always discussed any matters between us. I thought he is different, and being understanding was one of the qualities i cherished about him. Now Im thinking maybe the honeymoon phase is over and our true colours are showing..Posted by TxOgalI grew up in the Middle East too so I know what it's like, this isn't a normal common Middle East trait, sorry. Yes men get jealous easier but they understand not every man out there is looking to fuck their women!Posted by AgentP911Mid East. It is common that men dont want their woman to talk to other men.

You also need to know what class he's from, no offense to him but only low class Middle easterns think that way cause they've zero self confidence so they need to belittle everyone.click to expand

Posted by SimsimiIt is common cause even in the most modernized regions, many people still have this trait "the man has the last say" and I believe this will not be avoidable in my culture. No matter how much I oppose it. But well I loved so many things about him that I even knew he's jealous, bad tempered at times and controlling, and still loved him. Maybe cause I thought I won't find any man as loyal, honest and trustful as he is, which are the most important qualities to me. I have been cheated on before and lied to. And I dont like secretive men. Bf was different .... Sigh it seems they are all the same. Men just like to be secretive eh..
I think growing up there and being from there are two very different things.
Loads of my middle eastern friends say the men are like this , so its the culture. Perhaps there sre some with traits not this bad ?

Yeah, I thought as much. I've been in a relationship with an Arab, it lasted six months. The selfish, childish, controlling, domineering etc behaviour didn't suit me at all.click to expand

He has pisces mars


Posted by TxOgalDoes this sound like someone attempting to control you...
Said he wont change and its up to me to accept him with his flaws n that I should make up my mind before talking to him.

Posted by TaurusBull1977Im not saying hes controlling for leaving me to side.... I meant for controlling whom i talk to and there are other signs that made me think hes trying to control me even if indirectlyPosted by TxOgalDoes this sound like someone attempting to control you...

Or someone giving you the opportunity to reconsider your decision and to walk away?
I really don't understand how this thread became sidetracked to the topic of abuse.

He has pisces mars
Taurus Sun...Pisces Mars here.
We're the least aggressive of the Taurus natives.
Before I decide to take action, There are two decisions to make, stay & fight or simply swim away.
If the Bull is assertive, you're worth keeping. If the Fish swims away, you're forgotten about forever.
I would never coerce an individual into making a decision which is why he's leaving that decision to you.
We're passive like that....but also unapolgetic in this aspect.
As inflexible as this pairing may appear (Taurus Sun, Pisces Mars), it's still the most empathetic/passive pairing of all the Taurus combos. You will most likely take the reigns of this relationship, so misogyny is clearly not the dilemma. This means that he will tune you out before he argues with you. This placemement is known for indirect aggression. If you are confronted, this may not end well.
The problem here isn't misogyny. He's insecure....and may have dealt with some infidelity in the past regarding women and 'so-called' male friends. Being a typical Pisces Mars, he may have brushed it off and went with the flow, and once he confronted the situation, it probably didn't end too well.
This is probably why he's telling you up front. Deal with it now or keep it pushing.
Nothing to analyze really.click to expand

Posted by tizianiPosted by saggurl88Which parts did you go to? To me there's no better place than St. Lucia. Trinidad is fun too still, but a little sketchy nowadays.

But like a typical Sag, I love immersing myself in the culture. I want to live at a host house and visit. Eat local food, go to the dancehall clubs where they only hold up lighters for the dancers, whine, and drink!
Take me with you if you go! ?

Obviously everything was going amazingly well, although we had some arguments before that we managed to discuss and resolve them every time, and I always thought this is part of any relationship and that most days I was feeling happy, loved and cared for in ways that I admire. We also have so many things in common, so that too always brings us closer again.
Now comes the ugly part.. He is extremely jealous and ofcourse it started subtly, like not wanting me to hang out with guy friends, and not chatting with them. Once he even got angry at me cause a guy friend called me n I didnt pick up (which he apologized about after me standing my ground and telling him nothing is my fault here and ge told me to promise him not to let himself ruin our relationship). But to that extent he gets jealous!!
First I thought I can put up with it and that I dont have guy friends anyway, they are mostl ppl i just know/met throughout my life. Now, a new thing! He tells me he doesnt want me to talk to any guy even if hes a work colleague, even if we talk about work. But, he can do that, he's a man after all. Evenmore he tells me he doesnt need to tell me where hes at or who he meets, but I HAVE TO.l, cause i'm a woman. Well..... This is nonsense to me and even when I tried to calmly convince him by my point of view, he was so stubborn and couldnt comprehend what im saying. Said he wont change and its up to me to accept him with his flaws n that I should make up my mind before talking to him.
P.S. He was already mad which i figured later, he had a problem with his family that day, but still I think that is his opinion anyway even if he was in a good mood.
Is this normal? TAURUS MEN a little help here?
