Posted by jeaneThank you for your advice.
You have to accept that you might have destroyed this but be grateful he is willing to give you another chance.
He wants to rebuild his trust in you and that takes time. Be patient. Be understanding. It is you who is at fault here so he is perfectly within his rights to call the pace at this point.
Taurus don't like to be pushed. That he is responding to you but isn't not initiating indicates to me that he is being polite but not ready to jump back in to what you had before.
Give him some space to come to that decision. They won't be pushed. Concentrate on rebuilding your friendship and showing him you can be trusted with consistent and stable behaviour.

Posted by aqualove2011You can initiate but let it be a mix. Don't contact him every day.Posted by jeaneThank you for your advice.

Posted by Redoctober2000First off i wasnt bribing and he really liked it! Second off it was the medication that made me ill. Im fine! 3rd your rude stop posting on my stuff. Im looking for genuine and compassionate responses. Besides your not even answering my main question just shouting at me.
We have told you to GIVE HIM SPACE!!! Basically don't communicate with him. Let him come to you if he wants to....
You may have had side effects from your prescription drugs but you took it out on him and physically and mentally abused. Who wants to stick around for that drama?
You are not in a good place... Work on yourself and get yourself FULLY better....
You may have to face facts that your relationship has been destroyed and that if you both ever get back together again, it will have to start anew. Bribing with gifts etc will not bring him back. He has told you how he feels. If you respect him then you will do as he says.
Just be a friend for now.. Your on YOU. Stay single until you have fully recovered.
If roles were reversed you would be feeling the same as him..

Posted by jeaneI am giving it time. i get confused sometimes so i ask questions. I like your advice and i take it with a open heart and mind. I have been in situations where the roles were reversed and i didnt back out as quickly. My family and friends tell me hes being a mangia, bitch, pussy. I disagree thats why i come to this forum. But instead i get people yelling at me to leave him alone. Your the first person to take the time to give me some advice i could use. People on here say leave him alone. But i know if i just stopped talking to him it would hurt him more. I love him and know im blessed to have him. I love that he protects himself and sets boundaries and i want to do my best at honoring his wishes. Thank you for explaining his needs to me on a clear level.
Jesus busy, if the roles were reversed, i would be gone so fast you'd think I never existed.
He is patient. He is forgiving. All wonderful bull traits. Calm your tits and things will hopefully go back to how they were but you must give it time.

Posted by aqualove2011It's alright. We all get confused from time to time.

Exactly!!!
I have dumped people for having to repeat "I want my flat redecorated" 3 times!!!!
I just don't understand how people can abuse someone to that level and still think the person should be around them!! That's when you know how patient bulls are... People take the piss out of us all the time because of it!!! Smh!
If the person knows their meds will affect their behavior surely the logical step to take would be to give the relationship a break, get better then pursue where you left off?!! I just don't get it!!!click to expand



Posted by DMVWe both are artist.. he just painted a sunset and sent it to me and its beautiful. We have talked about flying kites together before. We dont do wild, we like the small things.
Kites and painting sunsets?? I wouldnt respond either.
Posted by earlorg16Fortunantly its not a long term thing and I prepared him for what was coming. I even tried to get him to leave our realationship during it but he didnt want to. I was suffering through postpartum depression and the lost of my baby. We thought an anti ssri would help but it backfired traumaticly. He has mentiond that i need to get my life back together bc it did fall apart. Your advice is honest and I like it thank you
Focus on yourself, give him space, and respect his requests. If he doesn't come back, he's not willing to commit to you and you should brace for that.
Honestly, if something like that freaked him out to the point where he's doing this to you, do you really think he's mentally prepared to deal with it long term? We take time to analyze these things. Don't force him into a corner or rush him into a decision. That'll only push him away further and further.
Posted by NotSoInstantThank you.
I think he likes you a lot. I would even go so far as to say, you must be someone very special to him. As far as I know, based on the way he is with you even after the med fiasco, he wants to move slowly but he wants to be in control of the situation.
Taurus men have huge egos. If he is around even after the outbursts/abuse (however you want to term it), it.means a lot. Also note how he is avoiding the physical aspect of the relationship. If they come back to you after all this, he will have faced a struggle between his ego and his love/affections for you.
I feel he wants a strong foundation but he wants to be respected. Also he needs time to forget what happened.
Give him time. But don't withdraw. Learn to be patient. Let him know through your ACTIONS how you are in control of your emotions... If you aren't be honest about it with him... If you need time, let him know.
Taurus men, when in love are very very patient and will wait for their girl.
Send him your texts, because he has said he likes to receive them. If you stop now, he will feel bad. But give him time to miss you. Don't force him to hug you or cuddle with you.... Let it happen when he is ready. Respect his wishes.... Trust me, when you dont force it to hapoen, he will understand and will reach you sooner..... Men need time to heal too....

Posted by aqualove2011I'm so sorry for your loss and to hear all of this. This is the last thing you need during a time like this. He's kinda an asshole for knowing all these details and not being able to handle it especially when you're on meds. Hopefully things turn the corner for you, you don't need this atm.

Posted by earlorg16Thank you for you compassion. Ive always been the one to be mentally stronger in our relationship. I believe he tried his best that he knew how too. He doesnt have very much experience in being there for someone. I have found the right steps to take care of myself and grow from this in a healthy way.Posted by aqualove2011I'm so sorry for your loss and to hear all of this.

Posted by NotSoInstantAhh good to know. I take back what I said. Thanks for the heads up. 🙂Posted by earlorg16Hey there!Posted by aqualove2011I'm so sorry for your loss and to hear all of this.

I'm gonna say this, I don't think this guy is an arsehole. From what I remember from her previous thread, OP met this Taurus guy when she was few months pregnant and they started a relationship and she gave up the baby for an adoption(?) Op pls do correct me if I'm wrong. She was on meds and somehow things went very bad and she became abusive/physically violent (few times?). So he moved away and asked her for space (?). But the OP continued to text(?)him instead of giving him the space that he asked her for.
Even now he is not certain but still remains friendly, I believe.
I don't think its fair to call him an asshole. Js. No offense intended to the OP though.
And this is how I understood the situation.
I think the entire Taurus board asked her to give him space. He has met her after few weeks. What I'm saying is, men run away from women for less baggage than this. I have seen it. At least the guy is honest and trying here. And yeah, I'm rooting for them to work out in the long run.

He's does t have what it takes for a real relationship of communication n forgiveness

Posted by aqualove2011This part concerns me. I'm sorry you've had a rough time of late.
Yes my baby was given to someone else for her protection. It was very hard to do but its still a loss i suffer from. Also i had two experiences where the medication didnt mix well with me. Medication never really has so it was a risk we both knew about. He wanted me to text and hang out. also the people who did reply to my first post 2weeks go all said the same thing give him space, take things slow. There were no details in explaining what intitled to my situation. I mean its such a broad statement. I know if i was to just cut all communication he would of been more hurt. I love my taraus and dont find him to be rude or weak. I know people can only take so much. The advice i have been given this time arpund is useful and compadsionate. I was afraid to even come back on this forum for advice bc of all the rude remarks and unhelpful advice i was given. Phychology is hard to understand to some they see it black and white its abuse. Some see it as a reaction to a medication which it was. If I was given a rash from it it wouldnt of caused any discomfort except for me. This medication has side effects of confusion, aggressive impulsivness, memory loss and unusual behaivors and this is what i sufferd from. I felt like i was possesed. Scared i just quiet it which amplified it unstead of calming it. All i wanted to know in detail what i should do and i deeper level of wisdom on whay hes going through. I recieved that info and im applying. I Thank everyone who is supportive and helpful towards me and my relationship.

Listen. I've read most of your threads. I've stopped trying to give advice because you're not hearing anyone. It seems like you just stew in your thoughts and come on here and ask the same exact questions you've already asked. If you want to talk about your thoughts on here, just say that.
Some people are getting hostile with you because you're doing exactly what they've advised you against.
You have a cheat sheet here. Use it! We have a wealth of knowledge that we are trying to give you. These are Taurus people. These are people who have been in relationships with Taurus people for years. Who would know better than us!
You are going to lose him if you don't start listening!
He has backed up and he is weighing everything. Weighing if the situation is worth it. Trying to see if this was an isolated incident or if this is apart of your character. Hes trying to see if you are stable and solid. Mentally and emotionally.
If anything you behavior is pushing him away and also making him feel bad for you. And you don't want anyone showing you attention just because they feel sympathy for you.
Please just RELAX! Go paint your sky. Go fly your kite. Find your own joy in your day... Without him. Men love happy, healthy women. We radiate a glow when we're happy and confident within ourselves. And this attracts people.
Posted by RedIsNotBlueI get confussed when i should text him/reach out to him. He says he really likes my corny text but he doesnt have to respond which i respect. But... Wheres the balance with this. Should i text/reach out to him every other day? Once a week? I agree to give him time no rush.. My text dont cinsist of relatiobship talk. Its checking in on him. But i notice if i dont give him a text everyday he starts distancing himself more from me. Is that a good or bad thing?
PLEASE, listen to the Taurus Hivemind.
We all keep telling you to give him space 'cause this is how we work. We're fucking stubborn and need time to think things through. If you rush us not only would it not work, it would just deter us further. I'm really not trying to be a dick here and I can't imagine what you must be going through, but this is not the way to deal with your problem. (Taurus guy)
We've already established that you want things to work out. Does HE want the same, though? It's time for him to make his move. If he hasn't already, he either does not want this, or he's just taking his sweet time, thinking things through. He's going to mull over all the little details: Does he want this; want you? Does he see a future together with you? Does he think the two of you look good together? All that lovey-dovey BS, really. He's either thinking about all those things right now or he'll just say "Fuck It" and move on, altogether.
You can either A.) Give him a generous amount of time: 6 months. (6 weeks in Taurus time) or B.) Let it go. There really is nothing left to do. From this point onward just remember that the more you try to pressure, nag, persuade him about this -- there is a 90% chance of you making it worse which leads to the dreaded cold shoulder Taurus. (Refusal to acknowledge your existence)

Posted by aqualove2011You're only making things worse by reaching out at this moment. You need to let him decide what he wants to do. If you decide to be patient and it's still not enough; if after an ample amount of time he's a no-show. Then you should seriously consider leaving this torrid affair behind you and move on to better and brighter prospects. I know it hurts. All these Taureans here are only trying to help you.Posted by RedIsNotBlueI get confussed when i should text him/reach out to him.

This week ive been texting him but he chooses what to answer to and he only relpies at night. For example tonight i asked him if he would help me with a painting and i mentiond how pretty the sunset was. He Ignored the painting question but sent me a picture of the sunset from his house. Also lastnight I invited him to come make a kite with me this weekend and he replied idk. When i mention good news he replies with encouragement. im always the first to text tho :/ i also sent him a surprise gift expressing the things I liked about him/us. He texted thank you and that he liked it. But Im afraid im going or am scaring him away and bc of how i acted last time, I think he might be more nervous than ever to hangout and im afraid that my oppertunity of him "testing the waters" to see if we could be together again is ruined. I read that tauraus do like persistence but am I doing it wrong? Should I stop texting/inviting him to do things and wait for him to respond first or continue with my efforts/texting and be patient?
