Hi everyone! Hopefully some of you lovely bulls(or anyone) can help me understand this.

I've known this guy since high school(both 25 now), & after months and months of him trying to date me I finally agreed to be his girlfriend. We had a lot of fun together, which is hard for me because I've been burned pretty badly(by an aloof aqua & a two-faced virgo).

We had sex on the first date, as I couldn't help myself because I was SO attracted to him. He ended up being kinda selfish in bed, but he kept commenting on how he wanted to try harder to please me, so I was open to staying with him. He was the typical taurus(04/22); loved good food, security & loyalty. As a Scorpio(11/01), I was like FINALLY. Someone like me, who has goals, is highly sexual, quirky humour & wants to spoil me.

We broke up for 2 main reasons; one was his lack of respect for women/anger issues and the other was because he had a VERY shady relationship with another Scorpio female. She was texting him at 2am and acted pissed when he told her we were together. He was supposedly watching her cat while she was on vacation, but he held onto her key for TWO MONTHS.....it was just inappropriate. I saw prior social media posts where she called him her #mcm(man crush Monday) and she was just obsessed with him(meanwhile, she was engaged). When I asked him to politely ask her to be more respectful of us, he made a huge deal about it. On one hand, he claimed it was easier to cut her off totally...but I felt like doing so would result in him blaming me for their lost friendship....it just hurt how he was fighting so hard for her friendship, but not for our relationship. I didn't ask him to cut anyone off, just tell her to keep it PG.

When it came to him disrespecting women, we got into a huge fight and broke up the first time because he was calling his female friends derogatory names(allbeit, jokingly but still...). I asked him how he would feel if a man talked to his daughter that way, and he was being stubborn and saying that if his friends don't mind being called "b*tch, c***, etc" than it should bother me, but my exes were abusive and I'm high sensitive to that stuff. We broke up the second time because he started being super controlling. I missed a call from him and he called me 10 times in one minute...and then started texting me saying "so you see I'm calling but you're not answering..." Guys, I was COOKING A PIZZA. So, I broke up with him again. I'm not someone who enjoys the breakup/makeup crap, but he didn't seem to take my feelings seriously. I felt very disrespected, so I told him he needed to leave me alone or I was calling the police. He got mad and has basically been ignoring me since.

This was about 2 weeks ago & I've been going through a major depression. I researched all the taurus traits, and I figured he would be very possessive but it scared me once we were in the middle of it. We were supposed to move in together, but now it feels like all those future plans were just another way to control me. He hasn't spoken to me since we broke up, so I'm not even sure if we will ever see each other again. I'm sure he sees nothing wrong with his actions, or he's being stubborn but I'm majorly disappointed because I felt like he was my soulmate. But after the female friend & the anger crap I felt like I couldn't trust him! Anyways, I love bulls, but the mad aggressive behavior and double standards rubs me the wrong way(he said if I had a guy best friend who acted how his girl friend did, he'd be a wreck/so jealous)

Any advice on whether these were red flags for a toxic relationship or typical taurus behavior would be very much appreciated. Im deeply saddened by this loss, and I'm wondering if we weren't as compatible as I once thought. I've decided to not ever give him another chance unless he does some major anger management and learn

about boundaries. Anyone have experience with the scorpio/taurus love match? I'd kill to have this passion again. I miss him so much but I'm afraid I've taken his actions at face value and it's concerning.

All of the above comments from everyone 100% .

This guy is showing you WHO he is and WHAT he is right there. Seeing POTENTIAL in this way is a waste of time. He is who he is, not who you want him to be or who he could/would/should/might be at some point in time. You were dating him now, as he is now, not what he might be in ten years. It's real time now.

Red flags all over the circus here. I can't believe you were going to move in together. That's proper fucked up thinking. Get a backbone Scorpio and don't let others walk over you in this way. You know it's wrong. I also think you're putting far too much importance on the passion/chemistry aspect and not enough on the other parts such as how he makes you feel, things in common, how you are together, how/who he is as a person, and if you even match together - you thought you matched due to this chemistry thing but as time has gone on you have realised that you're not a match at all. Frankly, that's just how life works. 100% passion does not make a good, well built, foundation for a relationship, neither does it provide longevity.

I've no idea why he has these issues. Perhaps he's immature, needs to grow up, has mummy or daddy issues, is a bad egg, or is just an arsehole. Who knows!

As others have said, there are good men out there of all signs. My Taurus has Venus and Merc in Aries but is nothing like this guy at all. He's 46 so much older.

Based on the info you have provided, I think you've made the right decision to end things with this person. It's not a match. I'd also say that when you feel ready to date again, and you will, I would go much slower. I don't think jumping into bed with a guy early on is the way forward if you're trying to see if there's enough there between you to begin building a relationship with them. It clouds judgement, gets you far too involved far too quickly, and doesn't give you the breathing space you need to be logical/rational. If you want to fuck someone on the first date because the chemistry is so amazing then go ahead and fill your boots. Nothing wrong with that. Just don't expect it to produce the solid foundation for a relationship you're looking for, and anyway, what's the rush?

Allow things to unfold, date more than one person, be selective with the guys you date, weed them out via texts/emails/phone calls before even wasting your time going on a date. Getting sent dick pics? Bin them. Asking for dirty pics? Bin them. Not following through on what they say or showing you flaky behaviour? Bin them. Perhaps that's harsh but guys sending dick pics or not responding to messages for more than a day are not serious about finding a relationship.

Enjoy getting to know these guys over several dates, over these dates these guys will show you who they are and what their intentions are - you don't even have to open your legs to find all this out, you can weed them out over two to four dates. Within three hours of a first date over dinner/drinks you can tell a lot about a person. Think of it as an interview process and you're interviewing for a vacant boyfriend position. Many will completely disagree with this thinking process but when you do stop and think about it it's not much different to looking for a new job, you see what's there, whittle them down, apply for the most suitable positions. Likewise, when you're recruiting someone for a job, for example, you need a butcher, you're not going to waste you're time interviewing someone who is currently a nurse with zero butcher experience. Sure, they may have the potential to be a butcher, and they may have great enthusiasm and you get on well with them but a butcher they ain't so it's not gonna work as it's not what you're looking for. It's not a match. Same as if you want a relationship, only date people who are also looking for a relationship as that's a match to what you're looking for. If you want a relationship and he wants to sleep around then that's not going to work. If you keep doing what you're doing you'll get the same results. Change your process, get better results.
