Looking horns with a Taurus.

So once upon a time, I was in this group of friends along with a Taurus Man.
Got along well at first. Then overtime, his humor bugged me, but since everyone else didn't seem to mind too much, I ignored it for the most part. An incident happened and he said something that ticked me off.

I was vocal about it and hell broke loose a bit. Friends did their best to stay out of it, I cut contact for a bit. Time passes, we connect again and then try to resolve it. I tried to pass it off as me being childish and that I'd just have to get over it.

He took it as: You're a jackass that won't change.

Unable to see a way to clear that up, I just offered to forgive & forget (which is out of character for me normally) and told him if he still wanted to be friends or end the friendship and go our own ways, it was up to him.

Didn't contact me again and I learned that our mutual friends thought I hated him. ( A year has past and at this point, I've moved on. Thought do wish to know if I hit a button I shouldn't when it comes to you bulls.)

How could I have avoided this if possible?

What was his humor like?

Vulgar. Pretty much think of someone trying to be edgy and raw and just becoming stale the more they do it. Like Encyclopedia Dramatica after you've read their 8th article.

I see. I wonder what his Mercury placement is..

What did he say that ticked you off? If you don't mind me asking. And how close were you two? I don't know if I can answer your question but I think that you've offered a fine solution. I mean you showed good will. Unfortunately, the "let's just swipe this under the rug" approach isn't very effective when Taurus holds a grudge.

I'm a Taurus with vulgar and bizarre humor. Most seem to appreciate it because it's different and I will say the things most people want to say but won't. However, some can get offended.

I would be lying if I said that I wasn't annoyed by people who are overly sensitive to the point where they can't handle a simple joke. Many of the things I say are very sarcastic and I don't actually mean them. I have to explain myself constantly to people who don't "get it". It's exhausting.

I haven't been in a situation where I upset someone with my humor to the point where we had a falling out. More often than not, if someone is offended (even if I find their issue with what I said to be prudish and whiny), I will apologize to them and try to see their point of view of why they were offended. I then try to be conscious of their feelings in the future.

If someone gave me an attitude and was flat out rude to me, I would dish it right back. I don't like being talked to like a piece of crap for having a different opinion or sense of humor that they may not understand.
(Not saying that you were combative in any way, btw.)

I do hold some grudges. There are people I strongly dislike. A few I hate. The severity of what happened between us is my reasoning for that.
Typically with something little like you are talking about, I may not speak to them and will just avoid them until we are in a situation where we make amends. I often just assume that the person hates me and that will be my reason for avoiding them. Until they say something to me personally, I won't move an inch to fix things.

Thanks guys.
I can't recall anymore what exactly was said.
I'm double Earth + Saturn/Moon, I'm not crybaby or anything, he just crossed a line.

We were good friends but yeah not anymore it seems.
I never would have guessed Taurus Sun vs Taurus Moon would have ended like this. Totally would have bet against the Moon. 😆

Singlove, do you have Gemini placements?
Theartrum & Lust, Thanks again!
