Taurus man trying to make me (Scorpio) jealous?

Hi,
I have been advised to post my forum here for getting more responses (originally I posted it at Relationships & Astrology). So please read below about me (Scorpio) and my Taurus. 🙂

Hi everyone,
I am new to the forum but I have read all the threads on Scorpio/Taurus here.
I have been dating this guy for a few months now, and the attraction I am experiencing with him is so strong it is beyond words. Some say between these 2 it is magnetic, well let me say it literally is. Can you imagine the craziest wild attraction between 2 people? Okay, now multiply it by 100, cause that's us. Anyway, he has been wonderful to me and I can say most of the things you usually hear about this sign (Taurus male) is true. He has several times assured me that I am his only girl and I do believe him.
However, he is very attractive and many women are after him.
About a month ago I found out that when I was away visiting my parents in another state, one of his lady "friends" showed up at his place for comfort (she had a huge fight with his bf, apparently). He invited her in and had a talk with her, but to his big surprise eventually she confessed she likes him and literally asked him if he wants to start dating her.
Then, about 2 weeks ago, a recently divorced co-worker starts calling him at his house, and calls him every day for a week to chat, and flirts with him, making suggestions. Boyfriend thinks she is just being friendly, but then she confesses she wants to be with him as well...
And how do I know all this from??
He tells me!!
Can somebody please explain to me why is my Taurus like this?? I don't understand. I would have under no circumstances learned about these things. So now I wonder if he is trying to make me jealous, or is he playing games with me? Is he trying to make ME want him more? Why is he telling me about all these things? I feel extremely hurt because of these things, AND because of the way he handles the situation. I think he should have dealt with all these on his own like a gentleman, and when we are together just focus on us and spend some quality time together. So yes, if these things ment nothing to him (he did not say this, it's just my logic), why would he talk to me about them in the first place?
He is in his early 30s by the way. The other thing that worries me is how flirty can he get with all these women.
I honestly believe that he is not playing with me, I just don't understand why is he trying to make me jealous this way.

Well, it could be a multitude of reasons, but I would hazard these top 3:
1. He (for whatever reason) feels like you may not KNOW how desireable he is, so he's letting you know in his own (strange way) that if you don't realize it, there are a load of women who do - maybe he doesn't think you desire him. I'm not saying that you've done anything to make him think that or not, but perhaps in his minds eye, he doesn't think you know.
2. He is insecure from past relationship(s) and is (inadvertently) trying to sabotage this relationship because he feels he may be "to in to you."
3. He feels that he can tell you anything; therefore he does - even if it hurts your feelings. I mean, on this board alone, women are always professing how they want to know EVERYTHING - well, here is an example of it.

I don't know if that helps you or not, but honestly, the only real way you will likely find out is if you just step up and ask him why he's telling you all this stuff about these other women. Most Taurus don't lie, so hopefully, should you address this with him, he'll tell you why. My guess is it's a combination of the three reasons I've mentioned above.

Good luck!

Hi again,since you invited me to continue here at home,I just moved all our stuff over here 😉 lol

Wouldn't you rather he keep things open and honest and tell you? that's how we do it.we are not generally sneaky and dis-honest.
if you had to find out other ways...then you would have reason to be jealous.

When we tell you EVERYTHING...it's because we want to keep the light on,so you know you can trust us.
to address the flirting...we are ruled by Venus,and we flirt.it's harmless fun for us,but if he's doing it in front of you it's disrespectful and you should tell him you think so.


"Thank you all for responses. I have posted in Taurus forum now, too.
As for my question, I know I should appreciate that he tells me everything. But I think it is a bit different. Well, that he IS trying to make me jealous on purpose, so it is not just that he tells me everything, because he is honest etc. I do think he is playing games. So I am just wondering if this is a specific Taurean trait, or am I overreacting. Because frankly, as a Scorpio, I do get jealous, and I do not like when somebody is playing games with me. So the fact that he is trying to make me jealous on purpose is some sort of a turn off.
Please come over to the Taurus forum, and thanks again for the replies."

I can tell you that MOST of us are NOT in to games or drama.it's a turn off for us.
I also know that you Scorps are a bit jealous and untrusting.so our main problem is we don't understand each other.
I was married to a Scorp for a long time,so I get where you are coming from.
I doubt he is playing games,especially at his age,and I really do believe he's just trying to be open so you don't think he's up to something.
does he like the attention from other women? sure.it's nice to know you are desired,even when you have no intention of acting upon it.

what you have to do is remind yourself,that just because you are feeling a little jealousy...does not mean he's doing it to hurt you,or even realizes it DOES hurt you.have you mentioned it to him?

Also,how long have you been together?

another thing,lol....if you really believe in your gut he does it on purpose....remember we are possessive people.we understand possessiveness,and it makes us feel secure,because it's something inborn in us.so IF he were doing it on purpose...he may be trying to gauge your level of feeling for him by your possessiveness.

YESS! This is exactly what i believe he is doing. I was thinking about this, but didn't know how to put it to words. So what do I do now? I will try to ask him about this when I see him, but only if the moment is right.

i do this too. i don't see the big deal and don't give a damn how the other person interprets it. it's not about jealousy or creating jealousy either...at least not on my part.

when i talk to my beau and begin sharing my day, how do i do that exactly if in the course of relaying events i leave out huge chunks of "what had happened was...?"

if you think about it, he's doing you a favor. some chick who claims to be just a friend comes over to your boy's house under false pretenses while you're away and tries to get with him...and he tells you about it!!!

for me personally it's about being honest and forthright. if the other person gets jealous, that's on them. if i didn't tell, i'd be lying by omission and my philosophy is better out than in. so i'd say that with this guy, don't fear what he DOES tell you...fear what he doesn't. the FACT that he is very forthcoming is your baseline. if in the future he starts withholding, THEN you have a problem.
