Dealing with a Stressed Taurus Man

Is it normal for Taurus men to withdraw when they're feeling really stressed out about a certain issue? My Taurus has been really withdrawn lately, and keeps bailing or making excuses not to hang out with me which isn't really like him. I got him to finally tell me what was up, and he said he's just really stressed out about something going on in his life. Do I just let him be alone for a little, as in don't call or text him? I'm not mad at him, but I also don't wanna be clingy and be a burden on him, and at the same time I don't want him to feel like I'm not there for him. Any experience with this?

Did he tell you what the problem was?

Yeah, he did. Basically, he's being charged for something that wasn't his fault, and had a court date last week, but they changed the date. He's extra stressed about it, because he just cleared his record, and now this bs is on his record and he has to spend a lot of money to clear his record again if he gets charged. I was there when he found out about it, and knew he took it pretty hard, but I didn't realize he constantly thinks about it. I guess it's just because we deal with issues so differently.

Looks like you're going to have to give him some lovin'

En Vogue ?? Aw man

I'm not sure if it's a Taurus thing or just simply a male thing.

I would continue to text and call but talk about other stuff. let him forget his worries in those times that he is with you.

If he needs to disappear then let him. When he is feeling better in his mind then he will return. He is probably feeling like he doesn't want to burden you with his emotions either. Strangely enough, they see withdrawing as protecting us from the thunderstorm that is their feelings.

During times of crisis, I've asked my partner, do you want me to leave you alone? He always says no. They want us around.

Oh yeah, and like TB says, naked cuddles.

Thank you for this. I decided to leave him alone yesterday, but I'll definitely text him today. I didn't think about it that way (him not wanting to burden me), that's a good point.

Haha see I would, if he would actually stop bailing on me!

It's a Taurus thing AND male thing.

Yes, naked cuddles help.

Taurus guys can be buffoons -- even childlike: we act like we don't want you around when we're stressed, but we really do; we want to have a strop and have an audience that we care about to see us and tell us that everything is fine.

Sweet nothing's that mean something. And space to an extent.

Idk, I'm confused about it. He'll text me every morning and later in the day, but he seems like he doesn't wanna see me. Can't give him naked cuddles if I can't even see him. As much as I wanna ask Him to hang out, I don't wanna get turned down because I'll get pissed off if I do lol I don't understand it. I'm just frustrated.

I can't stress this enough, e-communication (ie, texting) are the one of the biggest relationship destroyers.

In my opinion, it represents a lack of diligence and an indolent way of communicating and establishing closer emotional ties.

Texting should only be done if you're in a meeting, busy, or stuck in traffic, never to be used as the primary source of communication.

He's your man isn't he?

Go over there, bring his favorite six pack of beer, wear something sexy, and lay it on him.

Case close and it's murder she wrote...😉
