Taurus- your number of serious relationships?

Just curious. How many serious relationships have you had? How long did they last? What was their sign?

What do you determine is a serious relationships?

What do you determine is a serious relationships?

Committed, exclusive...

Only one with a leo, that was fun but she took too much of my spotlight.

Two.

Leo, father of my first daughter. He and I were so young. So stupid. Wonderful man. He married shortly after her birth. Lost him to brain tumor. His wife and I are friends, never any animosity. Too many layers to describe without writing a novel. 15 years, our bond our child. Mutual respect.

Virgo. Married for 13 years. Father of my son and youngest daughter.
Again, a thesis to describe, but not necessary.

Actually 3. Not enough coffee running in my brain.

Scorpio. 2 years. We were engaged. I was 23, he was 46.

This will sound so stupid, but my first serious relationship was in 2nd grade. I started dating a cute little redhead girl. She was kinda slutty for that age (pattern for me); she had already "played doctor" with a friend of mine in the first grade, which terrified me. We sat next to each other in class and would joke/flirt all day, I would eat her snacks at lunch, and we would talk on the phone every day for hours after school. She lived down the street from me and we "dated" for 3 years, but I never went over her house. I was too scared bc of the "doctor" game. I dumped her for another girl I thought was cuter in 5th grade, and learned my first lesson. The girl I thought was so pretty turned out to bore the hell out of me, and I missed the redhead so much; I really felt heartbroken and that I was in love with her at that time. I can still remember how I felt just talking to her, and falling in love since then always reminds me of the purity/innocence of that time. I also ran into the redhead again when I was a 16; she was utterly gorgeous, but taken. She recognized me, we talked, I was nervous/shy and said very little.

I was pretty much always with someone since then except for 2 yrs in middle school - in 4 long-term relationships (the latter 3 of which were Cancers). Had a short-term thing after my divorce (lasted about a year) with a Leo (Virgo moon, Scorp rising) - craziest person I've ever met; so thankful to have gotten out of that. Been dating Sag for 4 years, taking it much more seriously for the last year. She is Cap dominant.

The modest girls probably don't chase as much as you require.

True. LOL, then when I get together with the immodest girl, most of our fights revolve around me trying to control what they wear - stressing the importance of modesty. hahahahaha....You wrote something about dating a Taurus man a while back...something about having to cling to his leg and be wrapped up in a plastic garbage bag when you go out....I laughed so hard at that, and also felt embarrassed/ashamed....lol

Two:
Moral of the story: Be in love for who really that person is, not what your expecting/thinking of this person's character.

Yes I have become much more cautious lately after that.

This ^^^^^^^

I learned this after 3 serious relationships that I pretty much settled for....

I realized that I need earth, a little fire, and a little air.

Stability.
A little Passion.
Intellectual compatibility.

So she was the slutty one while you were whoring yourself for food...okay 😛

I've had an Aqua bf for 6 months in the 3rd grade..his brother would be so envious of me because he'd always choose to be in a team with me not him. LOYALTY! ...oh and he sang me some Backstreet Boys shit..ROMANCE!

None. This bull has trouble keeping the interest of dates as time passes. Maybe it's because everyone around my age still has much to learn and still go only based off looks and sexy times. Maybe it's because the LGBT community functions on an almost totally different dating system than the norm. Whatever it is, I can't crack why I can never catch anyone :/

It just goes along with Taurus not wanting other people to have access to what belongs to them. I get that, so I don't mind. I dress modestly so it was always fun wearing a scoop-neck tank top now and then and watching Taurus get so flustered when I'd go out in it. Listening to the "If I were a girl" speech. LOL

Ah...I'd love how he'd make sure I was properly covered up if I had to answer the door for delivery food or whatever.

Hahah...It is coming back to me now! You even mocked the classic Taurean "I only have eyes for you" speech. I was like "how does she KNOW about this?" LOL....Giving that speech is like one of my most heartfelt teary-eyed moments - invoking the ideal of perfect faithfulness in mind/soul/body as the key to true love, all in an attempt to psychologically manipulate my girl into never looking at another attractive male ever again. My Sag has Leo Asc and used to dress really loud and provocative, men staring at her constantly, driving me insane. I would get really petty - even discouraging bright colors. I will actually wear bright colors myself though. I used to give this speech about the male Cardinal and how it has the bright red feathers to draw attention away from the female and protect her, and how the same principle applies with people (Taurean anthropology). I tell you no lies; I brought this up in a parking lot before we went into a restaurant, and a red male cardinal landed on a railing 2 feet in front of our car mid-speech. I took advantage of it. Sags are superstitious. It was a bit of a mystical moment though. I felt like the Universe was a Taurus...Hhahahahahah....

Yes also to any delivery guy!!!! Hahahahah...I am too lazy to answer the door myself, but I will insist that my girl wear a camouflage burka to do it...hahahah....Its even more of a trigger because he's like half-entering my home. I'm angry with him just off of that.

Butterscotch Krimpets. LOL. She would still give them to me after we broke up and I felt so guilty eating them....

We don't have that brand here. If we did, I could make a very accurate Virgo analysis if it was worth it or not.

Food = A great judge of where things are going. If I cook for you, you've got one foot and a half in. If I let you eat off my plate...I'm either madly in love or went insane.

Two.

One was with a Virgo that lasted 3 1/2 years. He was great for the first year, thereby earning my trust and loyalty (which, once gained, is hard to breach). My mother is very intuitive and did not like him from the very beginning, but I was stubborn. The rest of the relationship was a roller coaster - he ceased being a person I knew... Complete 180... verbally abusive and trying to solicit on goddamn Craigslist, among other things. Ultimately for my sanity's sake I walked away and avoided contact attempts on his part.

The other was with an Aquarius, and it lasted three years... We were engaged for a little over two (quick, I know). He was like a breath of fresh air, but admittedly I was at fault for that dissolving... I didn't have time to heal from the Virgo so I was not at my best. He is a good person and we are still in each other's lives, just not in a romantic capacity.

@TLS: shes only yours to stare at 😛 i had to. My ex taurus used to give me the same speech and if i asked why or didnt cover up he'd say "you are mine to stare at" xD

For me, it is difficult to date casually. If I engage in a relationship, oftentimes it is because I can see it going the distance.

Hahaha, territorial over food, are you? Food sharing is one of the first forms of bonding I try to engage in. If I'm going out to eat with you, I WILL be trying whatever you ordered. If someone isn't down with that, well uh...we're not going to last.

I try not to talk crap about ex's too much, but this is just another thing that reminded me of the Gemini. He would not share his food. -__- Jeez, I hadn't a clue back then!

See, I usually put close to twice as much on his plate..I'm generous. I just cannot stand people touching my plate...especially since I already put more on yours JUST so you wouldn't have to hog my food also. I like feeding them off a large platter though..it's erotic to me.

One of my first dates with the Aries ex, we bought a lot of shit and made a lot of platters...it was heaven (his taurus mars/ascendant definitely approved of it)

Milky, ofc you can try what I have if we're having different things...I was talking about having the same food on our plates. That I do not get.

Forgot to add..

Let me share some old Sag wisdom from my grandmother

"There will be a time in your life my dear when you will have lunch with your bf/husband and suddenly not like how he eats..maybe you'll suddenly feel he slurps too much or doesn't eat fast enough..you will know it. When that time comes, know that all love is out of the window and it would do you no good to prolong it"

She was dead on.

LOL...this is such a Sag thing though! I have never heard my Sag friend be more passionate than when he was describing how much he hated watching his gf eat her food like a rat, taking little nibbles. They are SO PICKY about this. They HATE crunching, scraping the bottom of the bowl with a spoon, really any noise at all.

I also think I am capable of spontaneous hatred for anyone eating Grape-Nuts. It sounds like they are chewing their own teeth.

I've known some Gems that are also selfish with food, and they are speed-eaters, and get really bored having to sit around and wait while you enjoy your food at a normal pace.

Ah, thanks for clarification. Also, I thought you were currently with an Aries? Are you with another or did it end?

We broke up, yes. I'm ok 🙂

I have way too many Aries friends, I'm drenched in Mars.

One, lol! Around 2 years I think, give or take a few months. I didn't give a crap about astrology back than and I can't remember when his birthday was so I really don't know the sign. He was a blonde cutie, shy and reserved but there was a side to him that loved to entertain people. I'd guess a feminine sign, probably water, with a Leo placement in the mix 😄

I mean, as "serious" as it can be when you're a teen.

Didn't see any mandatory intro thread thing, so here's my first post!

I don't do non-serious relationships. They just aren't my bag.

1. Gemini. 6 years, the last 3 off and on. The end coincided with my Virgo. Oy. If it weren't for that twin thing that turns them into unbearable demons, there might've been a chance for us long term. Loved and will always love him.

2. Virgo. 3 years. Would be perfect match... if not including the bedroom.

3. Pieces. 2 years. Complete opposites, which is sometimes great, other times, frustrating beyond belief. It literally feels as if we speak different languages sometimes. The chemistry is out of this world, though. He's like a drug. And yes, I realize that's probably not a good, healthy thing.

err, pisces. Though pieces is apt for him. 🙂

Ha!! This is a fun topic.

1. Leo. 9 years. We were married. Great man...just very very different. No regrets.
2. Taurus. 6 months. We were so similar...scary. Couldn't work. Still adore him, though.
3. Sag. 6 months. What can I say...He was a sag. Enough said! hahaha

I'm starting to see a pattern here. I'm on a 6-month relationship rut!

-Pisces- 2 years. We were young. We would have been together longer if it wasn't for life getting in the way. I had to move away. One of the best relationships I've ever had. Were still friends.

-Leo- 1 year. He didn't like my possessiveness and jealousy. He drove me crazy with his constant need of attention from women and pushed my buttons to fight him. We had the best communication though. Fights were dramatic but over quickly. He had a way to push me to move faster which I appreciate in him. He knew me very well. I love the excitement of fire signs but we don't seem to be able to last very long.

-Cancer- 2.3 years. My only long distance relationship. It was very difficult for me. We had horrible communication. It always felt like a cloud of unspoken words were hanging over us. I felt like I had to walk on egg shells because he could have a melt down and shut down at any minute. He couldn't handle life or problems at all. His emotional pull got me very deep. It was difficult to leave. I knew long before I finally left that it wasn't working for me, I wish I would have left earlier but I kept getting sucked back in by his emotions. When his mom went into the hospital and this woman does everything for him and he couldn't go see her at the hospital because he couldn't deal with it that's when I knew I had to go. The only ex I haven't been able to be friends with after a break up. He still holds a grudge against me and wants to see bad things happen to me.

-Aries - 8 months. Had the same trouble with possessiveness and jealousy. He humored me and my questions even though he hated it. We could talk to each other about anything. He was horrible with money. It had no value to him. He's give it all away. His thought is that he can always make more. That was crazy to me. We broke up because of different cultures. His family forced it. He fought hard against his family for me which I appreciate but it eventually wore us down and wasn't fun or comfortable being around his family. We ended as friends but I stay away.

-Current bf Virgo- 3 months and going.

Only had 2

1 was a Leo

2 is my current libra

Fling was Scorpio

My high school sweetheart was a Cancer (adorable but painfully shy)
Next was a Leo (good god what a nightmare)
Next was a Libran (*yawn* boring!)
Next was a Pisces (liar liar pants on fire)
Next was a Cancer (can someone spell clingy?)
I'm married to a Pisces (love of my life!)

I only do serious relationships but I wasn't against tapping something cute inbetween 😉

playing doctr holy f% & $ 8 get the f&% ^ $ * out

Only had 3

1 Pisces- great communication, but we were young. 3 years

2. Taurus- we got along great, but I could not deal with his jealousy. Cheated and called off wedding. 8 years

3. Cancer- my best friend. We did everything together and got along great, but extremely too sensitive and poor communicator. Ex-husband 11 years.

6th time's the charm 😈

You betcha! To be honest if anything happened to him and I was widowed, I wouldn't bother with another relationship because it doesn't get any better than what we have 🙂

Only two, I'd say. The whole list:

1st bf from middle school was a Cancer (it was really carefree and on-offish since we were so young, but it did last for 3 years)
2nd bf was a Virgo, we were together for 3 years, lived together for 2
3rd bf was a Scorpio, lived together for 4 years. This was the most serious and breaking up made me felt for a long time like I had lost the base of my life... 😛
4th bf a Scorpio, but this lasted only 4 months...

...and I'm hopefully already familiar with my future 5th bf, a Virgo 😉 Seems a lot like it.
