and come back? Well, i didn't want to make everyone read those things again, so I'll just try to be brief and hope for someone to plz respond to me.. =)
I have a taurean ex who keeps sending me these loving you inuendos (word?) lol. Anyhoo, guys I need your help. We split up after a somewhat tumultuous relationship after which, we've tried to make an effort to smooth things over and keep our friendship intact. I didn't think that it was working out for our friendship after a point either even after all that we'd been through, because I'd try to be supportive and nice towards him, and he'd view it as attempts to try to get back into his life. (lol) but my civility to him was not meant to be interpreted in this way. Eventually, he became impatient with "the attempts", and told me out right not to leave him any kind of "coded messages", and that he only speaks to me now out of common courtesy. (beats me.. don't know what he's talking about, but I said okay.. it was cool with me if he wanted it that way- although I was really crushed at his insensitivity). To help you understand, I'll give you an example of what I'm talking about--During the holidays, I saw him online and wished him a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year two months ago over IM, and since, I was spending Christmas at my parents place, and was out of state, I thought it would be nice to tell him that I'd be back in state by the following week in case he needed anything from me. His response was-- nothing, so I assumed he didnot notice it. A day or two later we spoke online again, and I relayed my earlier greeting to him and told him again that I'd be back- since we'd had had an open relationship previously, in which we could confide in each other. No hidden agenda-- just courtesy. This time he responded in this way- 'I did receive your earlier message, and I'd appreciate it if you'd stop leaving me these kind of coded messages!" (these kind of coded messages??) huh? Fine, I said. This was when he went on to say that frankly, he only speaks to me now out of common courtesy. What nerve! Again, okay fine I said. We've seen each other since, but I've made a point not to indulge in conversation with him beyond hello, how are you? Then, tonight, out of the blue he sends me a Saint Valentine's Day gift... what the hell is that all about?? According to his rules I should not say more than hello how are you, but he can send obvious lovers' day inuendo gifts to me!!! I really need him to go away!!! Please help me make the insanity stop. I'm at the end of my rope.. he makes me so furious sometimes!
by the way, in case you're wondering.. we both agreed to keep our friendship, so I was not actually pushing myself on him in any way. Also, this is not the first time that he's done this sort of thing. I've just brushed these things off mostly but after what he said to me this Christmas.. I can not let this one go by just like that.
Life is happening to you, huh? I am sorry that you are experiencing this confusion with your friend. I think we all go through this type of thing sometime or another in our lives. So, let's find a way for you to get through this.
Here are some ideas that I will throw out to you and you decide in your heart which to follow, okay?
First of all, none of us can stop this insanity for you. Only YOU can do this. My motto, "If the shoe does NOT fit, don't wear it." Move yourself out of the situation and realize (which you already have) that this is not working.
Try to understand that there is no way for you to truly understand why or what he does. You can only understand yourself and take responsibility for your own happiness. Make some decisions to move you on another path which will bring joy to you.
Know that we each are responsible for creating our own lives by the choices that we make. If you keep yourself involved in this situation, than expect the same results over and over again.
Why do you let someone "fume you up?" You are giving away your power when you do this. Life is too short to waste our energy on this type of thing.
I so wish you the best of wishes.....honor yourself first and the rest will fall into place.
Thankyou Freebird =) for understanding me..I needed venting last evening, and also, for the great advice you gave. Just wanted to let you know that rational ability has made its way back to my brain today..and I am thinking clearly as before the deed. This guy is one with his own issues. I will try to leave those issues where I met them-- over there, with him... lol..(I believe over at the left bookcase..)lol..no issues for me...yay!! Now... if only his socks would sink into his shoes... hehehe.. 3 months I tell ya! 3 months for the socks...lol Luv Jai-jai. Have a good holiday every1!

After years of marraige to a Taurus, I have come to a conclusion. Don't marry one. Live with them, prosper, be happy. Once you marry one, they have a way to subtly make your life hell.
They can be controlling, stubborn, and downright secretive
My post about "How you control your sexual urges" wasn't supposed to be a free-for all to attack Scorpios. It was actually a compliment to Tauruses for having great self-control. I wanted to know from personal experiences how you control it because the bu
Well for starters, Taurus is an earth sign, Scorpio is a water sign. They are both very highly sexed. So my question is that I know about Taurus' great self-control. How do you control your desires? Since you are practical and down to earth, but still bei
Taurus--Don't use or abuse people. If you want or need something, then earn it, buy it, or do it at your own expense. Don't make people believe you are in love with them when all you are looking for is security!! Have a little more compassion and alot
Oh no!!!! something is wrong with my Taurus friend. We like each other and have expressed it somewhat and stated that we want to give 100% of ourselves to each other. since he's been going through a lot, he don't feel it's fair to be with me and have a lo
about Scorpios! I am a Scorpio and the quality I admire the most from a Taurean is their stability. I find this quality in you to be very attractive. There has to be something you like about your opposite, so your turn. ;)
i've been involved with a taurus for about two years and when we first hooked up things were very good. now that the years have passed and we both have done things to hurt one another, he doesn't seem interested. the thing is, that when he's going through
