I wanted to end things with "my" bull (Sag rising, Gem moon) because we've had a short, painful episode. He lied to me for several weeks while dating another woman he met not long ago. We've talked a lot about the situation and my boundaries and after recognizing that he's not willing to make a decision anytime soon and I didn't want to push it, I stopped talking to him after telling him how stupid and disappointed I feel. It hurt me much more that I expected.

Anyway, after three days of silence he's back, driving 200 miles over night to spend a weekend with me, trying to reassure that everything's fine between the two of us... no more secrets, no more other people, no more lies, just promises. I'm confused as fuck. Is this just some kind of bullshit to keep me around? The whole thing caused some severe trust issues, I don't know what to make of it. Any suggestions from fellow Taureans? Does he mean it? Pls don't tell me how fucked up this is, I'm well aware of that.

Everyone deserves a second chance.

Watch him for consistency and more lies.

How actions will show if he's a changed man.

Not a Taurus, but I've dated some.

I'd be weary....not anything to do with him being a taurus, just in general men who lie, and cheat often will still lie and cheat.

If there is trust issues you will have to take it slow.

Actions speak louder then words.

Stay guarded and be careful

Protect your heart
The irony is he told me earlier about her, but after discussing the issue and telling him straight that I won't put up with another woman he was full of good intentions promising me he's gonna sort things out immediately. Then things went to bad from worse. I agree, this isn't necessarily a Taurus thing, he's definitely a more airy Bull and first and foremost a man. Well, apart from that lying to me was no good idea anyway! Wtf was he just thinking!

Ty, I'll try my best.

I have no doubt that he was sincere for now, but we'll see, right.

I really like the way you're thinking. I was almost sure I already mulled over all worst case scenarios!

I don't know what to tell you...my only experience with Taurus guy was that he's a pathological liar...told me 100 versions of one dumb story before he said a true one and all that for nothing...and after 2 years of relationship he lied so pathetically that he's so sick that day that he will stay at home. I even bought him meds and went to a bank to resolve some things in his behalf...only to go out that evening with my friend after she practically begged me to go and I wasn't willing to but then while we waited for tram to come I see his car on the other side of the street...I go to cross a street shocked by what I see and he passes right by me with another girl in car. So that's all the knowledge I have about Taurus guys. Will never go down that road again. I don't believe all people are alike from one sign at all....but one painful experience for me is enough to remove that sign from my list
I'm sorry for you bad experience, I'm pretty shocked because I'd never dreamed about him telling me bs. That probably hurt the most. He had no reason to, I always told him how I appreciate honesty above anything else and we were friends in the first place. I really trusted him. If I wouldn't like him that much that door would be closed by now.

I'm starting not to like Taurus men :/
Please don't! He's a sweetheart when he's not playing asshole.


he cheated on you girl, and is playing games.... no amount of sweetness would suffice, if you ask me.

That's the point and it's the reason for my struggle, being unfaithful is not a trait of a zodiac sign. It is true though that Bulls are people pleaser.

I hate to be this person on technicalities, but did you ever define or label the relationship? Before this sitstuion was there talk of exclusively?

I know sometimes things are going well and you don't think you need to have that "talk" but often times until one person brings it uo, someone feels like it's okay to see other people.

Not that it's justification for his actions but communication is key (and I'm an AWFUL communicator, but I always make sure that is discussed early on)

We were exclusive for ten months but we were not in an official rl. When we first met we were both out of quite unhealty relationships so none of us wanted to rush things. No justification for me either. He knew that we could talk about anything at any time, we've been seeing each other a lot, talking every day.

We are both awful communicators when it comes to feelings, transporting emotions in a very humorous way. 😉

I agree with you in general. I'm not that young anymore either, me and the Bull are both in our 30. I don't label relationships if there's no need to. For me it was a betrayal, for him it was an encounter he didn't intent to. So probably this is more of a gender debate? Bad communication skills? I have no idea. The big discovery for me was the fact that I'm much more into him that I could imagine. Then there is pain, then there is trouble and the need for a change. I'm working on that.

I'm so sorry to hear this happened! You gotta ask yourself, if you truly believe that you can move on from this incident and that you won't have even an inkling in you of doubt about him, then by all means give it another shot.

But exclusive or not (the fact that it happened and it hasn't been a year even?), is not a good indicator. And it wouldn't surprise me if she left him and you're the back up.

He just sounds immature, I wouldn't even bother but I understand emotions can be a tricky thing.

what has to happen for you to feel there is a need to label relationships?
