What makes you give up? I have gotten myself into a bad situation deep. No matter how morally wrong I am, I seem to not be able to give up on getting what I want as long as I feel it was meant to be. I am not sure I believe in fate, but that would be the word I would use. I feel a stubborn quality can be a strength, but I know sometimes I am wrong not to give up.

What makes me give up?
When I have taken careful consideration to weigh out all the pros and cons.
I need the possibility of great incentives to stay in the game.
It's difficult for a Bull to compromise their morals.
What morals do you feel are being compromised?
No judgement here.
Do you feel it in your heart....that he's the one?
Why?
TaurusBull1977...yes!! You make me think. You ask the questions. Morally, I feel it is generally considered wrong for someone to want to pursue someone when they are in a relationship and have a family. I also think it is considered immoral to want someone who has a family. That is my situation. I have been honest with the man who has been my partner for fifteen years that my feelings for him have been waning for quite some time and that I am just in recent months having feelings for another. I feel that is only fair. I have been able to feel for the other man because within a half hour of meeting him (long before i even had an inkling we would ever speak again) I felt he was strangely removed from his partner and sadly unhappy in his relationship.
It is strange. I do feel it in my heart that he is the one. Why? That is the hardest part. I feel we are both able to add to eachother's lives. Yes, we enjoy many of the same things. We also have many different viewpoints that have enabled us both to open ourselves up to seeing the world in new ways. He inspires me. He admires me. He possesses the charisma, intelligence, confidence and vulnerability I find so attractive. We click. I feel like I understand him. He certainly at very least understands how to best communicate with me. He understands what my inner response will be to what he says.
There is this also. I have not truly found another person besides my mate attractive in the last fifteen years, until now. I am not just talking physical. I know that attraction in felt back. Is his as strong? Hard to tell. He ducks and weaves with his feelings. I know he wants to be the good guy.
And last, there is something I cannot pinpoint. Something that manifests in my chest and travels up through my shoulders and neck. It is a feeling that just tells me this is him. I know the Taurus is not supposed to have a strong intuition, but I am almost always dead on about my feelings concerning other people.
Can I be wrong? Sure. Do I feel wrong? No. If I knew he was happy, if I knew he returned no feelings I would give up. I just see so much potential in our pairing. And the devastation it may cause? I feel if the thought of this man is this serious to me, the devastation has already occurred. There is no turning away from the fact that my heart left my current relationship. Repairs at this point seem impossible.

But, my stubborn persistence may have very well driven away this man this week. If so, I understand. But my heart hopes that is not true. As long as there is an opening, I will hold on to the possibility and will wait for my opportunity. I feel it is still there.
When it stops making sense I can give up.
