Why not just piss off yourself without prompting from him?

I'll say it for ya.![]()
In all seriousness, the best way you can remedy the situation is to put some distance between the two of you for a little bit. Even a week. I have the same problem with my boy, in that perhaps I love him too much. And he is like your Bull, he loves the attention (Leo-dominant). The more I give him, the more he wants. And it took something quite drastic to make us make changes.
I took the opportunity while I was recently recovering from an assault to ask for some space. I was gonna move back to my place for a little bit but he said I was in no condition to do anything like that so he went to visit some friends out of town for about a week. It gave me the chance to wrap my head around everything, get a hold of my overwhelming emotions & become familiar with "me" time again. Not that he made it easy, texted me at least once a day and sent me a pouty selfie from the beach at sunrise that he likes to watch. But we needed some breathing space and it helped us understand each other better.
You guys need some breathing space too. If he genuinely loves you, he'll understand that this is something that will be good for you. And he needs to learn that the world does not revolve around him.

I think you need to ask yourself why this is an issue for you. Maybe once you look internally, you can come up with ways to de-cling.

How long have you guys been together now?
Are you scared hes gonna leave you?
Has he given you a reason to worry?
What do you get outta being so clingy?
Can he use the bathroom by himself?

Yes, but he has not given me a reason to think that, other than my own deep rooted insecurities.
I get a headache and heart palpitations and anxiety/worry. We also just have so much fun and get a long so well. We keep eachtoher laughing and smiling the whole day. I'm just love the feels I g7et being around him.
Yes he can, but he prefers me to hold it sometimes
Has he given you any inclination that he's tired of it?click to expand

Yes he says "this can't keep happening. It's okay for now and I hope we can get past this. But if it's been a year ans it hasn't gotten better then idk, I'm afraid it's never going to stop. How about when we love together? Or I give you a ring? Will you still be paranoid and anxious?"....
i hope. It. But I'm unsure myself
Do you ever go take time to just be alone or hangout with friends without him?click to expand

Posted by Black-Mamba
Yeah I've been there. Very unhealthy. Why you keep getting anxiety.
See a therapist. You are not doing yourself any favors
You have attachment issues
Also i would maybe read some books on topic there's tons
I understand loving a person and always wanting to be with them
But you give up alot by doing that and eventually your partner will take you for granted

Posted by Ellygant
A little bit of cling is actually not that’s bad, in general. Some people are more affectionate and enjoy close lives. That’s not bad in itself.
Where it becomes co dependent and unhealthy, is when you associate the relationship to your happiness and start treating it as the main or only source of fulfillment.
If you find happiness within yourself first then clinginess won’t taint the relationship. It’s just an affection style .
Involve him less in your taking space. You don’t need to announce it or take a formal break. Just start planning more things for yourself and do them. Tell him later when you catch up. It’s your process. Claim it.

Rarely...my friends are busy with their lives as well and I'm about 40 minutes away from them so it's hard to find time. On my day off (Mondays) i try to gwt together with them.
And only when he's working do I do my own thing. Otherwise it's me just distracting myself until I get a chance to be with him
So he's pretty much all you have?

When I was a kid, I was prescribed meds for adhd. For a long time I've been skeptical of that diagnosis. Well I've snorted enough drugs now to be able to confirm to myself that I'm missing some brain receptors. I've always been high anxiety too and the high energy makes it worse. The only two things that will help you are xanax and nothing else short of watching him fuck another bitch jk. But seriously, distance probably wont help you. You can try it - why not. Just let him know exactly why which it sounds like you have. But I recommend seeing a psychologist. I've gone years trying to be sane without 50 million things running through my head at the same time and it hasnt worked out. Meds in this instance can make you feel like a normal person which is nice. And obviously, what youre experiencing is irrational fear because of your amygdala going beast mode.

So any advice @-apis- looking at you Taurus male...
Me personally I'm not a fan of women who always want to be with me. Not that I dont enjoy spending time with them, but I feel obligated to them. Almost as if I have to cut short what I'm doing in order to make sure they're happy, just gets old after a while.
If he hasn't given you a reason to feel insecure, it sounds like it doesnt really bother him he just wants to see you get secure, and you hate the feeling of doing it, you just need to relax some (I know it's easier said than done) and fill your time with other things (hobbies arent the best at occupying your mind with these things, I dont think, because you arent obligated to do them, you can stop at anytime and your mind never gets off what was making you anxious while doing them).
Do you write? I know a lot of people who write for this very reason. It helps them get out every they feel when they feel it, but almost changes their behavior after seeing it in black and white. They can own it better.
You guys are fairly new together so wanting to be around each other all the time is kinda normal I think. Burnout is what will get ya if you're around each other all the time. Or losing yourself.click to expand

I guess most people have already covered points and solutions for this specific situation you're having here. But I think 2 more won't hurt right? :")
- Never threaten a Taurus man that you're going to leave him, cause he will let you go one way or another. My friend's boyfriend threatened her a couple of times, and love slowly died inside of her until she (taurus) reached the threshold and end up being the one leaving him. Which was rare since Tauruses are hardly a sign leaving anyone.
- Taurus, like all zodiacs, needs a time-out desperately. To them it's not about refreshing their internal world like Pisces, but they need to take things slowly and predictably, so giving them time to process and wonder, and perhaps feeling more in control of things would be nice. They tend to love the relaxing mode of the rship.

First off I'm shocked you gave honest helpful advice and not just trolling and/or a funny comment. Thank you.
And yes, everything you said is fact.
I've been trying to write lately...hand cramping seems to get me.
He isn't per say bothered yet. He keeps saying it really isn't a big deal. But I just want to for myself be healthier mentally, and yes burn out is a real concern of mine.
I let him do his hobbies when we are togther nd as he's doing his i do mine. He playa poano, i draw and paint. He playa his video games I play mine. I go to bed early and he stays up playing them. I never don't let him do his thing. He knows me being with him makes me happy and sets me at ease. He find a it cute most of the time. I just find myself to be pathetic and lame becasue of it
What’s wrong bf with feeling that way about him
I think when we have a great love there can be a lot fear and anxiety about losing what we have been searching for
It’s human
At least in the beginning stages it will be amplified
But don’t be so hard on yourself

im this way with my bull. i don't feel codependent but its because i recognize that i could get that way and resist.
granted i don't live with my Taurus. we spend weekends together and mayby 2-3 day together during the week.
i never restrict him or make him feel restricted in the relationship even tho, internally i have a little separation anxity when i know he is free but choosing to do other things. such as, "im going to go grab a beer with so and so, or going to go to NYC to see so and so" i mean of couse i want to be included but i know it best that i take space for myself to do my own things that i put off when im with him and i think it makes the trust this work better because he knows i trust him, he never has to feel as if he can do things without me, and for the most part he always chooses to do things with me, Same team.
its only really ever hard at night, when you just want to cuddle them or wake up next to them. but im sure i will have the rest of my life for that. so i just go thru the negative emotions and let it be done with.
and for the most part, bulls love the affirmative attention so when we are together it is very affectionate and loving and cheesy.

I think being 6 months in is not going to help either. It's a period of madness where you cannot get enough of each other. Chemicals are going crazy in your brain and there is a sense of soothing you each receive from the others company.
Hopefully as that wears off, you'll calm down a bit. I think a lot of insecurity stems from feeling that we are not strong enough to deal with the worst case scenario ie being left/rejected. But you are strong enough. It's recognising that whatever happens in life you have the strength to get through it.
Once you realise that you'll begin to loosen your grip. Holding on so tightly quickly tires you out. You stop enjoying life. Instead you begin to run yourself ragged trying to keep everything in place. Life is chaos. You can't control it. You just have to let it take you where it wants to.

So update:
I'm taking two nights to myself not seeing my bull until tomorrow night, but he called me on his way home from work last night and he is hurt by me saying I needed a break to work on myself. Even though he understands it he said "I do have feelings...i can feel inadaquet too. Am I not fulfilling a need of yours? Is that why you are feeling like this" which is the largest from the truth. What I realized is sometimes I'm so focused on my chaos in my head and my emotions I forget to check in with him about his.
He cares and adores me. I leaving would destroy him as much as me.

yes, i think it is about making your emotional state stronger but you know, you're strong already! it's about trusting yourself that you're ok, that whatever happens is ok, that you've got this. you've been through shit before and you've not crumbled.
it's all baby steps. i wouldn't tell him what you are up to. i would just try to re-route my reactions. if you're reaction is to cling at 5pm and call him or whatever, tell yourself you'll call him at 6. the next day make it 6.30. the day after, a little later again. it's all incremental changes that add up to a lot in the end.
by the way, i was obsessive with my bull and but i didn't share. #neverletthemseeyousweatclick to expand

Thank you he is the kindest man, and I've always been compassionate. We give to each other a lot.
I do too most days. Today im feeling down. I fear while he's away from me for two days he will realize his feelings aren't as strong and I'm not worth the effort.

Sometimes my word choice is poor and def causes some problems in my relationships in general.
understandable, seems you're both very kind to one another!
i have good feelings about you two.
Thank you.
I do too most days. Today im feeling down. I fear while he's away from me for two days he will realize his feelings aren't as strong and I'm not worth the effort.
You have to really work on your insecurities
maybe telling yourself you're wonderful more often might help
you seem cool

So update:
I'm taking two nights to myself not seeing my bull until tomorrow night, but he called me on his way home from work last night and he is hurt by me saying I needed a break to work on myself. Even though he understands it he said "I do have feelings...i can feel inadaquet too. Am I not fulfilling a need of yours? Is that why you are feeling like this" which is the largest from the truth. What I realized is sometimes I'm so focused on my chaos in my head and my emotions I forget to check in with him about his.
He cares and adores me. I leaving would destroy him as much as me.
So moving forward I need to work on myself with him supporting and being press t
he's too fuking cute
He is. But I can also sense an anger toward me for even mentioning the word break becasue he said this morning...or like t minutes ago" I don't wanna hear that word break again. Unless it's break up and you mean it"...he doesn't appreciate me saying things without meaning them. Taurus, say what you mean and do as you say.
yeah i wouldn't use words like that

Lol I am wonderful and cool and I have a lot to offer. No idea why I'm so insecure...im still carrying around emotional baggage from a past failed relationship which I admit I didnt give myself the necessary time to heal before dating again. But this guy fell into my lap and he broke down my walls and I needed to take the jump and risk while I could sol...here I am lol.
and that's not his problem to deal with, but yours.
so deal with it
get a therapist if you need it

im this way with my bull. i don't feel codependent but its because i recognize that i could get that way and resist.
granted i don't live with my Taurus. we spend weekends together and mayby 2-3 day together during the week.
i never restrict him or make him feel restricted in the relationship even tho, internally i have a little separation anxity when i know he is free but choosing to do other things. such as, "im going to go grab a beer with so and so, or going to go to NYC to see so and so" i mean of couse i want to be included but i know it best that i take space for myself to do my own things that i put off when im with him and i think it makes the trust this work better because he knows i trust him, he never has to feel as if he can do things without me, and for the most part he always chooses to do things with me, Same team.
its only really ever hard at night, when you just want to cuddle them or wake up next to them. but im sure i will have the rest of my life for that. so i just go thru the negative emotions and let it be done with.
and for the most part, bulls love the affirmative attention so when we are together it is very affectionate and loving and cheesy.
First I just want to say I always enjoy your advice and input, I'm always able to relate to you, so thank you for being you!
Have you even expressed your separation anxiety to him or are you good at keeping it to yourself? My issue is I think I overshare, if I just kept some butter to myself I don't think I would feel so anxious that he is going to leave me.
I Have to learn to keep my mouth shut and just leave him be lol.click to expand

I think you need to ask yourself why this is an issue for you. Maybe once you look internally, you can come up with ways to de-cling.
I've always had issues, I just never realized it until this relationship (him being very independent) my past boyfriends were just as dependent as I, so I learned that this behavior is "normal".
It's weird becasue I know I should go, and I over stay my welcome. And there are things I want to/need to do, but I don't becasue I don't want to leave or be away from him.
The first step to moving past it is realization, then I just need to implement.
What I'm saying is (and what I've said to him) is he needs to sometimes tell me to go instead of "do whatever you want. You can stay or you can go " given those options 99.9% of the time I'm going to stay, but be restless becasue I know there are other things I need to do!
Baby steps...one of two days a week alone.and I'm going to try harder to just do things when I need to instead of putting them off.
So far that's what I gotclick to expand

If you want to reduce the time you spend together so that you feel that you’re being your best self that is great. As others said get some hobbies or spend time with friends or family.
From my point of view I would love a relationship like that, I could soak up all the attention they could give me (compounded by the Cancer Moon). Like @-Apis- said I might like an occasional break but just for a couple of hours or a day tops.
I also wouldn’t worry about him liking you less or finding someone else if you’re not around as much. I don’t know if it’s the same for Taurus women but I don’t get into relationships lightly so I don’t break them lightly either.

Because only own self I am defiently keeping myself from doing things while being with him. Not his fault in the least, so I'm taking these steps for me. He does love me being around but he is a loner and enjoys his video games one of two nights a week.
He has a Libra moon, and gem Venus which is why I'm fearful of him losing interest. But I really can't control that. So I keep to keep positive and realize he likes me and wants to work on this togther. However cancer mars...so that's a positive.
I know he loves me and cares. He's the most devoted man I've met inawhile.
I jump into relationships quick. But I stay for awhile.
I think after 6 months he knows his feelings towards you and if he says he loves you believe it.
I wouldn’t make any big changes immediately but maybe spend half a day apart, then a day and gradually build it up. I can be a loner and sometimes play videogames but I would reduce that for a relationship.
I guess what I’m saying is don’t worry about him straying away. If he was to do it there is nothing you can do about it and you can’t control others so no point being stressed about it.
As for doing things you want to do maybe list some of them out and make some plans 🙂click to expand

Thank you for the reassurance. And you are right I can't control his feelings or what he does so I just have to believe him when he tells me he cares and likes me and doesn't wanna break up.
Also I like lists, lists are fun 😀
One thing I would say is don’t tell him all the time you are worried about him leaving. It’s sort of an insult to his loyalty and will get him thinking. However, if there’s a specific thing he can do like give a cuddle or hold hands then ask for it but don’t explain why.
Yes, lists are awesome and may take your mind off it too 😁click to expand

i always find positive reinforcement better for everyone concerned.
instead of saying "i worry you are going to leave", say "thanks for x (taking me to dinner, carrying the shopping, being supportive). not only is it nice to hear but it changes your focus from the negative (ie the fear of leaving) to the positive (all the lovely things he does as a partner).click to expand

i wouldn't imagine so. between you and me, i don't think men think that deeply about stuff. things happen in the moment and then it's gone. it's a rare one that hangs on to stuff to the same extent as women.
if you're really lucky you'll get one like mine who forgets stuff completely. like the biggest fight we ever had. split up for a month, didn't talk to one another, lots of hurt feelings. does he remember it? he had no idea what i was talking about when i mentioned it.click to expand

Let's put it this way once a month there is always something I get insecure about 😣😔

Well it makes me feel like a psychopath and pathetic.
Is this typical of Taurus men? Do you not care if a woman wants to be with you 24/7 and do everything for You?
I'm trying to battle this head on and he knows it, but to an extent he's enabling.
He knows it's unhealthy but he also says it makes him feel loved....i need him to tell me to piss off!
