This is a minimal issue about something stupid but what bothers me the most is how unresolved it ended. (Shocker)

and also with how responsibility was all on me and not once did he take accountability for how it made me feel.

we were out this weekend at a local place to listen to music and hang out with friends.

we were having a great time, had some drinks, nothing sloppy. we were being cute and affectionate when we were around each other but I had met a girl (friendly) there and we were having interesting conversation so I cant say that my attention was on him the entire time but he definitely was surrounded by our friends so....

any way, about 10:15 he comes up to me and says he wants to go home. sadeface. I didn't want to go home. and i told him and asked him to compromise. "can we just stay until 11" - he says ok, its all good to me. well after that he was just stone face man the entire time, looking like he was mega miserable. i would come and dance around him and he was a statue. i would reach to steal a kiss and he would not acknowledge me all, have me looking dumb reaching to kiss air. and then i asked why he looks so grumpy and he would just say im fine with a grumpy tone. COMPLETE VIBE KILLER. seriously rained on my parade (Sagittarius girl just wants to have fun)

so then, fine i say, ilets go, im over it now. and he says no, he is compromising with meand doesn't want to leave yet because if me. W T F? we literally got into a PUBLIC argument with him looking 10 shades of angry in front of all of our friends because he is being a stubborn grumpy controlling Taurus.

my side was this: i know you want to leave but i was only asking for 40 extra minutes, why do you have to be grumpy because of that and deny me affection because your not getting your way. why is it so hard to just pretend to be amused by me and my needs for 40 extra minutes before we go home and be lazy like we always do. why do you have to make me feel guilty about wanting to continue enjoying myself, why does my happiness not hold any importantance to you.

he basically said: this is who he is, he is tired. im pissing him off by bring this up and its my fault we are now arguing. me feeling bad about myself is my problem and he doesn't pretend to do things he doesn't want to do. basically he never once took any accountability about how his behavior could have effected me or how he is acting like a brat of a man in times of compromise with the women he loves. that's what i saw.

well when we got back to his place finally at 11:15, i was not at a place to drive home. so i laid on the couch and attempted to fall asleep. i didn't want to go to bed with him angry. that's just something i hate. i cant sleep in the same bed and not talk it out and knowing i would get know where is i tried and that obviously talking it out is not something Taurus ever want to do i put some space between us. i need space figure out how i feel after situations like that.. it feels like they just like to sweep things under the ruge and let things build up until things are permanently damaged instead of figure out how two can be one in times of differences. .

next day i see a status posts online saying "im so close, but your so far away" he posted when i was on the couch.

now i feel like all our friends who saw our fight think it was all about me, and feel bad for this otherwise wonderful man. and then he has me feeling bad about it when still i feel sad at how i was treated. what about me here. am i wrong to wish that someone would just acknowledge that i don't deserve to be treated that way when i don't ask for much,

YOU! Taurus man, do you do this ?

YOU! Taurus how am i suppose to deal with you when you act like this?

YOU! Taurus, tell me something that is going to help me move past this, deal with this or understand this.

also - do you think that he understand what i said even know he didn't acknowledge it, and do you think this is something's that is going to continue to happen because he didn't acknowledge it?

Shoulda just let him leave " k bye"
seriously because things are so unresolved on my end

and im not confident enough to say he isn't going to act like that again

i am totally repaired to just say, if you wanna leave you can and ill just uber it home ...

i would hate to forces you to do anything that you don't want to.... like compromise staying 40 more minutes with a smile on your face.

so upsetting, truely

As with all fixed signs, when we get a bug up our ass, we're difficult to be with. Give it some time and let him come to you.

The same way he can be a statue and an asshole, ask yourself if you didn't do anything to set it off besides your request.
i say me telling him how i was feeling at the moment of feeling it was my fault - caused him to get angry and defensive.

maybe because i was off talking to people i had just met and not paying enough attention to him, he just wanted to go so that he can have all to myself.... i know that sounds like im full of myself but i honestly feel like that could have been it. he is definitely possessive and needing of attention when he isn't getting it.

i also called him out on his traits.... "your being stubborn"

but he denied me love... that's like emotional abuse. for someone to go in for a kiss, in your face and for them not to even look at you or kiss you back. my Scorpio mother used to do that to me as a child and it is such a trigger for me.

I mean...it can be like that sometimes. Dont necessarily think any sign is immune from wanting to leave a place at a particular time or maybe not wanna go somewhere or maybe wanna go somewhere...I guess your question is why did the feelings seem to continue cant really say except to say sometimes that type of thing can happen.


touché...

i just don't like the public display that occurred. i didn't like that he was stone face man instead of boyfriend taking one for the team . i didn't like that he denied me kisses and i didn't like how rained on my parade.

hmps.

Only male who ever acted that way with me was a Taurus also. It was so annoying! I mean I know people can not like a place, but get over it for less than an hour?! I would do it for you!

It didn’t work out. He constantly put me in a cage I didn’t want to be in. It got tiring.


yup. classic Sag/Taurus Textbook Dynamic.

i'm hoping there is a way around that.

it makes my love very confusing.

Do you think maybe, you could articulate this to him once he's cooled off? Maybe you'd be surprised about what he has to say when he opens up. The hallmark of any good relationship is communication.

As a fellow fixed sign I'm curious to see how this plays out.

i fear that he will get defensive.

he will take it so personally. his feelings will be hurt.

he wont look at is as me, a person who loves him asking him how im suppose to deal with things like that.

and to add to it.... i can bring this up and he wont know what to say in the moment.... and it will take so long for him to figure it out that when he finally know what to say it will feel like a dead subject.... water under the bridge... he wont bring it up. ill just be left hoping that he figured something out that will benefit us and not just him....

that's what i think could and would happen. but ill let you know how it goes.,

Well you're dealing with fixed sign so that sounds pretty normal. What you should have done was to leave him be instead of trying to make him happy about staying longer. He already compromised to stay so you should have just let him be and ignore that grumpy face and since you couldn't make him change it you became agitated and that made the real problem. So basically options are - stay without him, let him leave when he wants; let him sulk and ignore if he accepted to stay or leave with him when he wanted to go.


truth bombbbb...

ok...im going to let this soak. thank you UnicornSag.

Have you told him any of this? Maybe if he is aware of exactly how much his behavior had hurt you, he'd learn to be more mindful and less emotionally reactive in the future. You've heard it before, but communication is key. You should discuss and communicate what each of you expect in situations like this, so there's less room for disappointment. I think he was just having a petty moment and didn't realize how much impact it had on you.
Also, don't make assumptions. Ask him why he reacted the way he did. Did he feel ignored? Was something else bothering him? If he still feels his reaction was justified, then tell him it isn't something you'll stand for it. You can't have that kind of disrespect and negativity in your life. Those are the kind of things that kill relationships.

i also think you are making a lot of assumptions here. you actually don't know why he wanted to leave.

and you denied him your love also when you stayed on the sofa.

but i think you also have bigger issues here. you guys have a pattern and you have felt in the past that he is unreliable and selfish. it just seems that this is another one of those examples.

i wish i knew what the solution was here.

the "you treat me like a child" line would worry me. do you? do you scold him like a mother would? you've said in the past that you can be controlling and given he is younger and you already have a child, have you slipped into that dynamic? that's hard to break if you don't trust in his dependability. mixed that with a petulant and stubborn taurus and you're going to have spats that resemble tantrums.

Tauruses are just generally super stubborn, and if they don't get stuff their way they can throw a fit, a nature of a fixed sign. Just let him cool down and give it time, he'll soften up.
Well that will be the challenge.

its a vibe killer when the on you love is CHOOSING to be unhappy.

I live life by choosing happy. but I suppose this is what ill have to learn

Sounds like he was being a bit pouty, but other than that, I don't see what the problem was.

You asked him to stay and compromise, and he did. Wanting him to smile, dance, and catch kisses in the process just seems like too much of dictating how he should not only stay, but also act to make you happy after the initial compromise.

Again he was being pouty,

but you even said that you were enjoying the conversation of someone new you met, so I thought you would have went back over and continued the convo. Seems you had branched out from him early, so he wasn't a part of the reason you wanted to stay. Why not go have fun and leave him be how you did before?

yeah but did you care about how HE felt?

i'm not a fan of fixed signs but all you thought about was yourself

ktnxbye
help me understand how I thought about myself?

aside from wanting to stay when he wanted to go home and me asking for 40 more minutes. COMPROMISE

ill also add it was his idea to go out that night not mine, but i'm a go with the flow Sagittarius. I also paid $ 30 for the ticket to see the show. the headliner didn't even go on until 12 midnight so we paid to leave before the show technically.

ill wait....
