Do Taurus' Tend to Give Up Easily or Hold On?

Taurus individuals are known for their stubbornness and loyalty. They may struggle to let go of relationships, especially if they still feel emotionally attached. However, each person's behavior varies. It's important to communicate clearly and set boundaries to ensure closure.

My Taurus ex doesn't seem to really want to believe its over.
I, in know way, flirt or lead him on. I even mention my partner casually from time to time.
Is being friends with him still giving him hope?

Why what are you doing to make him believe this? Any hope or game play?

Anyhow you will have to become enemies or just move on and ignore this and find another..

Nope, just being a friend. Even tried to give him advice about how to get girls.
I don't want to be enemies cuz he's cool. I just want him to stop approaching me as
if he has a chance

Make a clean break, and unplug from him, its always the ones who LEAVE that want to be "Friends"... don't do that. That's torture and it would definitely conjure up false hope for the bull.
Let him heal through -Silence.

I dont know what would make anyone act like that. All I need to know is they have moved on. I was talking to a Scorp who moved on but wouldnt admit it. I asked her numerous times to just tell me if she decides to move on but she said nothing. So I said I will just have to go with what I see. When I got confirmation i had to go my separate way because we could have been cool if she was only honest. She wanted to make things way too difficult and play games and I was having none of that...sometimes to protect yourself you have to cut all ties ad move on...or deal with whatever for a prolonged amount of time. I realized this Bull and Scorps are a no go romantically. Im not getting involved in any way like that again made no sense and I tried my best to keep it sensible...there was literally no way. No matter how calm and clear I was...Live and learn.

YESS ++++1 to ALL of this. Calm & clear ISN'T the scorpions way... if you want a good mindf*ck just keep ooon lingering with them. In the past I would play, and when I was really done, I'd stop playing, then turn on them. (Thank youuu Scorpio Moon!!)
I don't have the time or patience now a days. But the Taurus/Scorp pairing is good -temporarily...get in. and get OUT.

@Scorpicos: it could have been 10years.. lay him to rest. Something tells me you enjoy seeing him long for you from the sidelines.
You have someone new now, focus on them.

Definitely. They always come across as plain weak!!
^^^^^^ calm the f down weak please you have no idea what real strength is name me some Taurus woman who have made history for having power? Or being strong? The only thing that makes us weak is love and it takes a strong person to love because love is the biggest vulnerability you can give someone.

Yeah, I agree, I have not met a weak taurus, yeah they give a lot of chances but they always seem in control, the ones I know.

I have. He knows about him. When I told him about my new relationship he said "are you trying to make me jealous?"
I was like…huh…no. i'm keeping you updated cuz ur my friend.
But according to these guys the only way is to sever ties completely. I feel like that speaks more to him not being able to
move on, than me trying to have a friendship.

Bulls, always get what they want. If they have set their sights on it... No matter what it is, it will be theirs whether it be an expensive item, the object of their affections, high powered job... They will plan and "wait it out"!

Give up now Libraus.. You will have to in the end!! Lol

i will not! i have tried all manners of saying no. it still won't stop. make it stop!

This has been my experience, also.

I know Taurus men are known for their persistence, but if you sat one down and told him to his face that there is no chance you two would ever work out again, you shouldn't run into this kind of problem. If you are being coy, less than direct, and soft in general, they might mistaken that for uncertainty and actively try to win you over. None of the bulls I know would mope around heart-broken long after a girl leaves them if they were sure it was over.

yeah you can sever ties for now and after a few years maybe it won't matter. you can bring him up to speed with your life then.

I think the OP "gets off " on the attention of an ex or she would have done the "amputation " scorps are supposedly famous for!!! Lol

click to expand

I'm not angry or bitter towards him, so no reason to amputate. I have one ex who is literally dead to me. I will never answer a text/call from him for the rest of my life, and have no qualms about it. If I ever see him on the street I will completely ignore him and if he approaches me I will tell him to avoid me for the rest of his life. THAT is what a scorpio amputation is. This taurus, never hurt me and is a nice person, so no sense in freezing out a good person.

You guys are so funny for thinking I'm getting off on the attention lol smh. I don't, its cool when we chat as friends, it gets awkward when he makes advances.
I think Taurus' are just stubborn and want to make something happen despite objective.

I've blocked busy. Her angry rants annoy me.

Back to thread, I've been in a relationship for 5 years. And I've never given up on it. I'm not a quitter simple as that.

You need to stop being his friend and cut him off. That's just bad for ur new relationship anyway. Why would u wanna be friends with an ex if you have a new man? Scorpio logic baffles me sometimes. —??

Lol yea she's something else.

But, for scorpios, or for me in particular: i can be friends with an ex easily as long as you didn't hurt or betray me. scorpios take relationships and friendships very seriously. We don't let many people in, so the ones we do let in, we cherish them deeply. If we've shared a connection, you will always be important to me. If you were a piece of shit ex, to hell with you, go play in traffic.

but you seem only concerned for you and what you want. you want to be friends despite him still having feelings. there is nothing wrong with that as long as know it won't change. i think you need to admit to yourself that you want him around even if it means that he will continue to try it on with you.

Yup, same experience as me. I think if you do act coy and less direct they will pursue, but usually if you say "no" they will respect that. You may change your mind later and be like "when I said no, I still thought you would pursue me!" To which Taurus (who loves directness) will say "uhhh no, I go by what you said." That's what happened with all my Taurus cousins/friends with their GFs.

My ex was a Taurus mercury.
Took him forever to get over me. He was so PERSISTENT!! no matter what I did, no matter how manipulative or evil I was to him to try to get him over me, he just did NOT want to give up! He believed that we were meant to be together and if we had sex, we might still be together. He kept on going for me for 2 YEARS STRAIGHT! It wasn't till I left did he let me go.
