"when we find someone who can tolerate and deal with that, we tend to stick with them until WE decide they aren't beneficial to us..."

Horrible downfall, catastrophe, true.

I really really want to look at what I'm doing wrong. I'm seeing patterns, even picking certain types of people in my life is still MY fault. Can't blame anyone. That gets old.

The controlling thing I can see too. Maybe that's why we are slow & cautious, and untrusting when we first meet someone...if we feel out of control in the relationship, we FREAK out.

Amen, TG. We do freak out - especially early on in a relationship! I've recently started dating an AquaGuy and I tell you it's hard because he's so aloof. Part of me wants to reach out and be nosey and find out what he's doing at different hours of the day, but we as Taurus's should not do that...

Once we find someone, we can create a stable, solid, passionate, loyal and romantic relationship. But where we fail so often is at the beginning of the relationship because I think we are Taurus's have trust issues. Which brings up a question. Do other Taurus's have trust issues? Maybe it's just me, but I tend to have this excellent 6th sense and know when someone isn't being on the up and up with me and I tend to call their bluff. Some people hate being called out, but I do it especially when my gut is telling me that he/she is full of BS.

"if i'm right, then why not learn"

Us, if you are wrong, in making a general statement like that, then, why not you learn. I am not personally broken, no worries, I find you interesting and like you so far, to tell u the truth. Hence why I feel comfortable telling you this.

TGwC - maybe we are mad because we "failed to say something."

Sag, I think you have a point there, gotta think about that one.

I'm a taurus female and I'm exactly what the others have explained to a T. I have trust issues in a relationship big time. I'm currently with a cap and I don't feel secure in the relationship. Just as one said we like to have sex and more sex and don't develop a relationship with the person. That's what I did with this one and now we are starting to develop a relationship. And now since we r I'm having a hard time with trusting him. Maybe we just have sex and not relationships because we r scared of them? Ive thought sometimes that that could be the case with me. At the beginning when I started seeing him I trusted him. But i get this 6th sense too that just doesn't feel right and then I snoop. I find out things and that brings my trust down with him. So when I don't fully trust him then I want to be in control of him. I want to know where he's at all the time and want to be in constant contact with him. And he's a cap so he wants to be the one in control. So that tends to bring us to disagreements a lot, of course. I try to trust him and not be in control so much but it's like I just can't control it. And he takes that as the fact that he and I can't ever get a long. How do we tauruses get past all that?

recon part of reason is we always know that things aint 100% right, and if its not then y bother, its diff as there is always two lifes colliding and getting those two to gell is v.diff, so have to accept some oddities, - hey presto its ok but not hundred per cent fitting. theres always the issue of looking for a soul mate or rather THE SOUL MATE - easy to find soul mates and easy to find people on both sides you think you known for ages and comfortable with but still...not perfect so from my little world at mo 2006 is all about not settling into anything i not fully happy with , this ok but am finding myself walking away from situations that i am happy in but know there better in future with someone else so am constantly upping and leaving, i am trying to immitate sagittarius now and i doing a good job, pat on back...:-) deff not finding myself settling into anything or leading on any fake situations even if my heart is involved. got to be rightttt 100 per cent but know i am setting myself up for a fall although if i get it right then not. only goto get other person to agree with me now :_)

See how words can be INterpreted Incorrectly. Giving,doesn't mean gold digging does it. taursues offer asistance simple as that. As for GOld diggin sometimes and i do mean someimes because some tauruses Want control ,they want to ask for things as well. So there are times you all gold dig as well.BUt cest la ve, to each their own and of course we cancers LOve our money as well,don't even want to go into the use part.

Sure, we don't mind giving assistance. I'm supportive but I'd catch on very quickly if I was being taken advantage off *seeing red seeing red✨ Anyway, I don't like lazy asses anyway, if not lazy, dumb, doesn't know how to budget... whatever.

"BUt cest la ve, to each their own and of course we cancers LOve our money as well,don't even want to go into the use part."

This is very true lol My bf is tight with his money, well for as much as he makes, he is I think... with certain things I guess, whatever he thinks isn't worth it or could get a better deal...? Ah maybe just cuz I hate shopping around myself lol But he was very supportive when I needed it, I was surprised at how willing he was to just hand over and even insist on helping so that I wouldn't give up what I was doing, didn't want me to worry. He's still like that, insists on paying for stuff that he thinks I might need... well when sometimes I'm just being cheap cuz I don't think it's necessary lol So many good examples of this one ha ha ha Ehhh sometimes I just end up doing what he says so he stops insisting 😛 I mean, who needs a new phone just cuz it's missing a button? It works dammit!

"Want control ,they want to ask for things as well"

Sooooooooooo not true! My bull self doesn't ask for anything... I would never just walk a mall and say 'Ooh I want that' or 'Buy me that' I say no to stuff like that. I have accepted money from him before with the condition to pay it back but he did nooooooot let me. Sometimes it just seems a little macho...? Or traditional? Like paying for dates and trips and everything when your girl is with you. It really made me uncomfortable at first. kjalkdjfakjfajkldjakljoieakaiouakfdasjfaljlfjkasj

MAYBE it's becuz we're faithful, so we expect a lot of faithfulness in return. and since we're perfectionists when it comes to love, we won't ever settle for something less -- although that can be hard becuz everyone has faults. and since we're really good with clairvoyance, we're often able to see through a lot (even when the things we sense should be natural and accepted).

but i'm very flexible becuz of my cancer moon (although that should make me even more receptive than most would imagine). but all in all, i'm often very tolerant and understanding, even when i know that i'm done wrong; but that is only becuz i know where my strengths lie and i know what i'm ultimately made of.

"just my opinion. specifically about the female variety.

taurus females are the biggest lushes in the zodiac. most of them don't really want a relationship. they just want hot, hot sex, but they want it reliable, and fairly safe. so the just doing any sexy stranger that comes along won't cut it, not completely anyway. they want something "more."

personally, i don't see anything wrong wanting what most of them want, and most taurus females will say the same thing, but deep down they're are ambivalent about it. so when they find a guy, who in their minds, could be something more than just a dildo, they're super excitied. they're in love. it's the best feeling in the world. etctera, etcetera. and where does the taurus female go from there? umm, where she always wants to go. to the bedroom. she bangs his brains out. she uses his body in any damn way she pleases. the poor sob will be lucky if he gets any sleep at all that first week. but then strangely... the relationship won't develop much beyond sex... which if the taurus female weren't so ambivalent her own insatiable lushness, would be just fine... but then she gets to feeling guilty... she finds ways in which her man could treat her better, and then she accuses of him of not doing them because he's a jerk, or an a-hole, etcetera, etcetera. pretty soon they're fighting, and she has the excuse she need to move on. she does. she crosses paths with another sexy stranger. the pattern repeats.

just my opinion."

LOL the banging part made me laugh. but ummm.. this isn't a bad description. however, i'm not a slut so i don't go sleeping around, but this may easily be true for many taurus sluts (lol, don't i put it nicely?). ;P

but anywhoo.. you're one of the people who have almost succeeded in describing a portion of tauruses, but no one actually hits the bull's eye ;D becuz they think that they know us by our easy-going nature, when in actuality, they don't realize that we have many things burried underneath (they won't even be able to guess if they tried).

although i can't say that i agree with every little thing that you've stated, i think that you've kind of gotten the big picture. the thing is, tauruses tend to come off as predictable becuz they can be routine, but they're only routine because their thoughts are so complicated that the tangible world becomes an effortless part of their lives.

however, i can also see why you may see things this way. i won't go into detail, but it's obvious that you had a lot of thoughts stacked up in your mind. but yeah, for me, i don't go around looking for all things physical; my needs are not that unreasonable and my wants will never be above my needs. what i really look for is something real and lasting. maybe my cancer moon emphasizes my need for security and a stable/happy home, where i can have fun being both a homemaker and a working, independent spirit -- but i'm still a taurus, and i tend to always know what i'm after. if anyone is so sure, it's the taurus. we may seem uncertain every now and then, but when we do look inside of ourselves, we can really discover our stronger-selves. we almost always find the answers that we are looking for by simply looking within; outside help is hardly ever seeked by us (or that's how i am, at least).

but i can't speak for all tauruses. i can only speak for myself and the tauruses that i know (the ones with water moons, as well).

Top reasons why Tauruses fail @ relationships?

Settling down with one element.
Not making long term investments with the entire package.


I have a Venus in Aries and a Gemini Moon. Ambiguous placements to my Taurus Sun.

Although I'm restless, and enjoy the adrenaline rush of a 'new' prospect...holding my interest for a certain period of time can be quite challenging. It's not the monotony that leads to discontentment, (after all I'm still a Bull), it's the lack of potential for stability that I see in a prospective partner. In the past, I have been told my intentions were misleading, exuding warmth, strength & stability is something that Bulls subconsciously do. It's in our DNA. But there are other acquired traits, past experiences, placements, trust issues that allows us to keep a prospective partner at bay for a considerable length of time.

So the complaints with the disappearing acts on this board isn't too far-fetched.

I will keep it honest. I'm not set up for casual dating. I would rather spend years alone regaining some form of self-identity all over again. Blame it on my Venus in Aries, and a need for freedom and independence. I will have to agree with the previous posters. I can be a control freak, non-trusting, and quite elusive if I'm unsure of my footing. So it would be very wise not to rush a Bull into anything. Allow us to trust our instincts and adjust our BS detector/radar when it deems necessary.

I don't know about other Taurians but I definitely have trust issues, I have never been in a relationship where I completely trusted anyone & for me I think that's where the problem is

I believe we aren't for everyone. But we are attracted to opposite stimulation from some one else. At least I do. Get stuck in rut of close mindedness. Sucks. But I am lazy and need a kick in the butt. Bulls just stand there and won't budge unless there is some kind of distraction. So make it worthwhile, fun, and in return we will stick to you through thick and thin. For rich or poor. Sick and healthy.

Its not easy for people to break the wall we have. If we did give in we get hurt more. And since we do have our guards up. however, something called drama or bull shit with people we can move on and just disappear. So it takes a special person..With or without someone we manage. Yes hope that guy/gal finds that one to open up to, show some damn feeling, take initiative, proofread
the fine lines. If you pass your a keeper. Because then well be comfortable and secure. Then our wall opens for you. But always some what closed still...
