I just don't care anymore. I just completely blew up at my significant other and hes trying to flip the switch onto me not being appreciative. I'm not backing down, I dont care. I called him, lazy, stubborn and unreliable and I meant it.

Since September I've been waiting for him to get me tires for my car, they are bald. I said I would just handle it myself but he insisted. Knowing he isnt very motivated I gave him 100 $ as incentive. Its 2 months later and I cringe at every pothole (I know I really should have taken care of it, but now it's a matter of principle). Well he has the whole weekend off, meanwhile I work. Hes helping me move tomorrow but I'm so fed up with my car I just lost it and called him out on it. (I first said, "I'm scared about my tires, think you can take my car and help me out today" .."no, I dont feel like it today"..)

He came and got my car while I was at work after I nagged him. we had a huge fight in the parking lot. Hes "unreliable" and I'm "ungrateful"...

Is this typical? I have to poke and prodd and nag to get shit done? I've asked nicely for weeks...I'm just getting tired of this behavior.

Mmmm why do you expect him to buy your tires?

Or to take it to the shop

It’ll can do that on ur own

Like I said I would have done with on my own but he was talking a big game that he wants to do it for me, and doesnt want me getting bamboozled.

"I know a guy, I want to help you". He insisted and insisted. Last week I even said "hey I'm just going to so this on Monday becasue I sont wanna die" and he said "I'll do it for you this weekend".

Well it's this weekend and like I said on my post, I didnt do it put of principle.

And tbh, I'm a baby ahab I have to do things like that, I completely breakdown and unravel. I need my hand held, and he knows this about me.

But shit, this is my life ...tires are important

I can't take you seriously, because he's just so good looking. Why would you leave that?

Lol I was saying that to myself for 7 months, but in realizing that being handsome doesnt cut it sometimes.

I need reliability and someone who does something when they say they will...


i hear you that would drive me mad, but i also would just get it done and not worry about his a $ $

that's how you make someone feel guilty

do it, and be like oh i don't need you to do it for me

cut his dick metaphorically
click to expand


That's what I said to him "I'm just doing it myself on monday... hope I dont get hurt before then"...suddenly it was "I'm coming now" to which I said "dont bother..." he showed up anyway.

But why do I need to take it to that level to get him to so that?? Its maddening

Then don't.

If you want to be with him and you sense he is unreliable. Rely on yourself.

Otherwise get with another man, maybe a Virgo

Virgo's yuck.

Mah I'm sticking with him. But yeah I just cant ask him to help me.

Even of he offers I'm just going to say "nah"

I think what you're saying is

You feel like you showed your hand to him, by opening up about the dependency thing

And you wonder if he's using that as an ego boost by leaving you hanging

Is that it or I'm off?

A small part of it.

A bigger part would be I feel I do alot for him without being asked. Even when I'm tried and dont "feel like it" I'm there always. I'm super reliable.

But alsoninjust dontnlike when people dont do as they say of course there are been other smaller insignificant instances of this, but not worth getting mad over.

Well he called me after dropping off my car and apologized. He said he is lazy and selfish and can be unreliable. He appreciates all the things I so for him and hea going to try harder to just do things when he says or offers. I told him I'm going to be more independent and he said "no, I want to be there for you".

I'm still going to mostly rely on myself unless its necessary, moving forward

Sorry to hear about the fight. I don’t think you were being unreasonable if he offered to do it for you. You’re right though that you should rely on yourself and if he does extra things for you then it’s a bonus.

Usually I realize when I'm being unrealistic or unreasonable and this time I knew I had a leg to stand on.

It's a learning expiernece and o guess personal growth/relationship growth.

Yes... i know guys like these who want to pretend to step up and actually prevent you of taking care of yourself. You end up relying on them and they keep disappointing.

It's hard to get out of this cycle tbh... because they constantly "want to do it for you" but then don't.

there's a point where you do it without even bringing it up to them.

SMH....

@anothertaurusguyreturns is this typical Taurus behavior in a relationship?

Or is it a general lack of committment to doing things/selfishness?


I don’t think it’s typical. Just seems he didn’t follow through this time. The Taurus-like element was being stubborn and insisting he would do it even when it seemed like he wouldn’t.

I have to admit this isnt the first circumstance where he hasnt followed up. Happens in all aspects of his life. Even his own shit. Laundry. Shopping. Dishes, etc...

But this was the first sort of signifsnt thing that made me question the sustainability of the relationship in the long run

hehe who you trying to fool, chief?

Tauruses hate living up to anyone's standards even if they themselves initiated the standard. With Taurus, they behave the best when it's completely unexpected. Then they feel like a hero but if there's been any words uttered it most likely won't happen. They might do it begrudgingly.

Tauruses not like that...have serious fire elements.

What are your placements, if you don't mind sharing?

i've speed read through the thread and personally? yeah i've faced this.

i don't know if it is typical taurus but my guy has said to me that he would do things and then just not had the time/not been on his mind/forgotten. it can be frustrating.

my advice? it's going to unpopular, i know. take some time to calm down then apologise.

yeah i know, what are you apologising for? you did nothing wrong. sometimes an apology is necessary if only to get things moving again. at the moment you're annoyed, disappointed, feel like you've been let down. all valid feelings.

but deep down, you love this guy. you want a future with him and come on, you like doing the little things. keep doing them. don't be petty.

this is a problem that need to be discussed and worked out.

first things first - fix your own tyres. your safety is paramount. it's not hard to do. look what size you need. ring around for the best price and make sure they are new and not re-tread. if it costs you more than his friend - who cares? not important.

next, when you are calm, apologise for the blow out. then start talking it through. listen to him and his reasons for not coming though. explain to him what you need and then work out a plan for the next time it happens - whatever you both can negotiate is a workable solution.

if you are going to be together long term, something like this IS going to come up again. it's not important what it is, it's important how you deal with it.

for me? well, i'll ask him when it's convenient for him, if he is not available, i sort myself like i would have done in the first place. i think it infuriates him that i can be independent sometimes but hey, that's just me.

if i've read this correctly, you don't feel confident enough to sort it out yourself? when then i would hazard a guess that you are partly upset with yourself too - for being reliant on someone who can be unreliable. that's something you can fix today. you don't need to wait.

Honestly until I have a ring on my finger I probably wouldnt get comfortable. I've been fooled before...I spent 5 years with someone and no committment. After we broke up he got engaged to the next girl 8 months in...

Yeah moving forward if I chose to stay in this that's what I'm going to need to do.

Just do it without saying anything.

Knowing him he will be butt hurt I didnt ask, but oh well. I gave you your chance hunny.


I get where you're coming from, and his behavior would irritate the heck out of me, as well.

That said, do things on your own if the future if you wish, but do them because you enjoy being more self-reliant, not because you want to spite him (which is the overall sentiment I'm sensing from your tone) or hold it against him later. Passive aggression rarely affects relationships in a positive manner.

Yeah moving forward if I chose to stay in this that's what I'm going to need to do.

Just do it without saying anything.

Knowing him he will be butt hurt I didnt ask, but oh well. I gave you your chance hunny.

It's not so much in spite, it's in dred. Om extremely bad at doing my own things. I cry setting appointments, I break down at even making a phone call to my grandparents. I'm awful at "adulting " but heck I'm 30...I need to do these things. So I would be doing it for personal growth even tho, no I dont want to.

@anothertaurusguyreturns is this typical Taurus behavior in a relationship?

Or is it a general lack of committment to doing things/selfishness?


I don’t think it’s typical. Just seems he didn’t follow through this time. The Taurus-like element was being stubborn and insisting he would do it even when it seemed like he wouldn’t.

I have to admit this isnt the first circumstance where he hasnt followed up. Happens in all aspects of his life. Even his own shit. Laundry. Shopping. Dishes, etc...

But this was the first sort of signifsnt thing that made me question the sustainability of the relationship in the long run

really? Long run? You think that far ahead just cause of that?

Lol yes, like I said not the first instance this has happened. And I keep saying "will he be there if I get in a wreck? I'm pushing out his baby?" The unrealibikity is super important to me.

I'll like to think he'll be there in both situations. All this just sound like he's really comfortable in the relationship.

Comfort has its pros and cons. Were only 7 months in....he shouldn't be THAT comfortable

7 months is a long time tho

Lol...for real? Wow

what's a long time to you?

I think you can start getting comfortable after 2 years. A long time is 5 years +

The longest ive been with someone was a year. She remembers it different tho. She says 18 months to 2 years. I have to wrap my head around being with someone for 5yrs plus. I can do it.

I have always had LTR...on average 2 years. And i thought that was a short amount of time.

Whata your sign?

Gemini...

I'm not judging I got Venus in Gemini that's like the worst place when you can have terms of committing. But I will say it I most Gemini's I know do you have very high standards and they don't really last long and relationships however I had seen more getting married recently

I’ve always been pretty independent, but after being with a Taurus male, I became even more so. The funny thing is he hated it after I really stopped relying on him for anything! 😂😂🤷🏼‍♀️ I had to beg for little things to get done around the house, it was so annoying. He did it on his own time, his own way. He dragged his feet the more I asked. Taurus women seem to know how to handle Taurus males pretty well though. I’m sure you’ll figure it out.

For me, I’m with someone else, different sign, and it’s so weird to be like, “hey can you do, insert whatever, for me?” And it’s done that day or the next. 😳 I feel lazy now. 😂

Then you’re just playing at being in an adult relationship.Don’t get in a relationship and have kids imagine you can’t even call and make appointments for your kids dental appointments. Cute not cute

anylise too how ready you are at being reliable partner too.

That’s real life! Your going to be bog down with responsibilities in a marriage

I can't take you seriously, because he's just so good looking. Why would you leave that?

Lol I was saying that to myself for 7 months, but in realizing that being handsome doesnt cut it sometimes.

I need reliability and someone who does something when they say they will...


i hear you that would drive me mad, but i also would just get it done and not worry about his a $ $

that's how you make someone feel guilty

do it, and be like oh i don't need you to do it for me

cut his dick metaphorically

That's what I said to him "I'm just doing it myself on monday... hope I dont get hurt before then"...suddenly it was "I'm coming now" to which I said "dont bother..." he showed up anyway.

But why do I need to take it to that level to get him to so that?? Its maddening


Then don't.

If you want to be with him and you sense he is unreliable. Rely on yourself.

Otherwise get with another man, maybe a Virgo



Virgo's yuck.

Mah I'm sticking with him. But yeah I just cant ask him to help me.

Even of he offers I'm just going to say "nah"

Next time he says he's gonna do something, try giving him a deadline.. without actually giving him a deadline, lol. Take into account his schedule, your schedule, and the necessity of the task then set a "due by" date in your mind.

For instance (assuming he offered to fix your tires several weeks ago):

You: "Ugh.. I need to get new tires.. mine are completely bald!"

Him: "I'll take care of it for you. I know a guy. Let me handle it."

You: "OMG that would be so helpful! I have to move the first weekend of November and I was really scared of transporting all my stuff across town with my tires how they are. Thank you so much for taking care of that for Me."

Then, if he doesn't have them fixed before the first weekend in November, fix them yourself. If he gets pissed or asks why, remind him that you appreciate his offer but you really needed them fixed by the time you moved.
