How to help a silent Taurus

My taurus is currently under a lot of pressure in his personal life. I would love him to open up and share this with me however true to form he is remaining steadfastly silent in trying to carry the burden alone.

What can I do to help and be a good partner to him? I've reassured him that I am here if he needs me but is there anything else you can suggest? Does telling him I am there even make a difference? Or is everything just white noise at this point?

Thanks.

You're doing it already, hun. And you seem to know more than you think if you know he's under stress from work. He'll open up when he's ready. Out of sight out of mind...we don't want to talk about it because it just means prolonging that which we are trying to avoid.

Just provide love and hugs and distraction and all will be well. The thing that pushes me away further is being forced to talk when I'm not ready or Willing. Hearing you're there means a lot, but like you said, its a silent burden. Everything will be fine in the end. 😉

Also, what means the most is that when we ARE ready to talk and open up, you are there, no matter when or how long it takes.

thank you for the words of encouragement! yes, i have to keep reminding myself that things will right themselves eventually. in the meantime i want him to know that i can be a supportive partner. and, oh yes, even a bit of loving distraction has been offered...

it's useful to know the silence is a out of sight, out of mind. for me, silence means ruminating and festering. nothing good comes from silence when it comes to my problems. that perspective is a great help.

Feed him.

Yes, good suggestion. I'll do that. 🙂

just wanted to say thanks for all the suggestions. as expected things went back to normal. feeding did the trick! and it even squeezed out a sentence or two about the situation from him. i'm happy with that.

thanks everyone 😄
