My Taurus man of a year seems to be having some tough times. He's been VERY depressed lately, and he was taking it out on me for a few months now. Recently about a week and a half ago, he decided to break it off...and for some reason I couldn't handle it and was freaking out constantly about it- calling him all the time and things like that which obviously ****** him off. I am an Aries though and I think I can always fix everything, which i know with him is not the case he needs his time when he's in that type of mood. Anyway, a few days ago we talked (because we never really stopped talking since i couldn't leave him alone) and he said that he really does love me, he's just been so depressed that he needs his time alone to figure things out. Plus, he's going to get some therapy and medicine for his depression this week. Anyway, when we talked last he said he wanted to take a month break and then see how we still felt about each other and if we could get along better since he'll have gotten some help. But he said it's not definate that we will be together because I don't know how I will feel and he doesn't know how he will feel either. To me, this month feels like forever...it's going to be exactly one month on April 4 (which means he will be missing my birthday as well ). It's only been 2 days and it feels so long to me. I e-mailed him last night but I didn't get a reply yet. He told me if I miss him to e-mail him and he would try to respond so I'm sure he will sometime. But I know that he's probably having so much more fun without me right now and he's not missing me the way I'm missing him. I guess what I want to know is if this is typical Taurus behavior and if he's going to come back to me or not. I'm feeling soooo lonely and depressed right now I don't know what to do, I think i need to get some help as well

wow. Taurus like Capricorn hates to be rushed into a permanent decision unless they are sure its what they want. Maybe its a test to see if youll stick around... although i only think that because i am suspicious of the guy im seeing, his Mars is in Cap and hes like molasses.
I think you just need to calm down a little and try not to rush things. I am the same way I wanna jump right in and get the ball rolling! Im realizing that other people arent usually like that.... they need to figure things and feel out situations....
what is his moon, venus & mars sign?

yes, Taurus can be slow and if he's depressed then he doesn't think you would understand, Aries is so naturally happy. No use trying to get into his head, he's probably NOT having any fun at all, if that's what you are imagining, and hearing from you will make him sad.

I would give him at least a week with no contact, and then an email or two on the weekends, I am a Taurus and the only way I can commit is to someone I could live with, who is not that emotionally upset, so if you keep calm you are projecting your long term potential.

But nothing makes a Taurus happier than domestication.

I agree with what Natasha said. I am Saggie woman with a Taurus man and he has also been pretty down lately. He is only two weeks away from coming home from his training his Missouri and it bothers him to be away. Not only that, he lost a daughter in 1998 and her birthday is coming up- I know it affects him greatly.

Yes..a part of being a fire girl (I also have an Aries moon) is to try to just jump in and fix things..but you can't with a Taurus when they are in this state. All you can do is offer quiet strength. I sent Mr. Taurus an e-mail saying that I know this time is tough, that I love him more than anything and for him to just know that I am here if he wants to talk and I will be here if he just wants to be alone.

It is really hard for me because when I talked to him yesterday I could hear the sadness and heavy grief in his voice. He said he was just plain tired...I didn't push him..I let it at that and ended the conversation early..with a I love you...

You have to monitor the hyper jumping in emotionally thing with these Bulls. They DO have a major serious side to them and that is the time where you need to be on that level..not depressed, but just quiet and calm. I just got busy doing other things rather than torturing myself with ..OMG..is he mad at me, does he still love me as much..blah..blah...

It has to be even harder for your Taurus man as he is depressed (which he sees as a weakness and Taurus men DO NOT like feeling weak.) and it is compounded by the fact that he needs medication.

Send him the e-mail that Natasha talked about..let him know you are here...for him to talk or even if he wants to be alone you understand..

Vent HERE...when you feel frustrated or angry..write to us..get it out..we'll help ya

Thanks for the advice everyone!
Yeah I know he probably definately thinks that I would not understand (which i hardly do because he's depressed about things that would never bother me, but then again nothing really does) which is probably why he doesn't want to let me into his head and wants to be alone. But i just don't get how he can be happy not being with me when I really can't do that as easily.

Well since I really don't know how to keep myself from picking up the phone and calling him or even e-mailing him, my friend and I made a bet. She thinks that he will definately call me or e-mail me in 2 weeks to see how i'm doing if I don't talk to him and keep my distance...she believes that he will miss me once I at least give him the chance to. But I, even though I hope he will call me, I really think he won't call me or write me, not in 2 weeks anyway. I don't really know, I want him to miss me though so i'm really going to try hard to make it through these 2 weeks alone with no contact. That has to do something right?

Well he did e-mail me back last night and in my e-mail I sent to him first I asked how he was and I said i hoped he wasn't as stressed out anymore and i said i miss him and i love him. The one he wrote back to me said "Still stressed...it's more and more everyday"....that was it, no i miss you, no i love you I was very upset but I'm trying to ignore it. I jump to conclusions too much and make up crazy reasons and stories in my head for why he's being a certain way when in reality it's not that at all...so I'm just going to assume that he is upset, and not take it too personally ...i'm just so frustrated and i dont know what to do. I'm really trying to keep busy to get him off my mind but it isn't seeming to work very well I'm so lost right now!! I really do think I need to get some counseling or something..

Just wanted to update you guys really quick-
So we got back together on monday, but things aren't that great. They are a lot better than before and i believe and know that he really does love me, but we have our problems now because when we were on the "break" thing he hooked up with another girl (but they didnt have sex thank god). Anyways, we're going today to see if we can get that counseling at school together and we're also going to get some personal counseling by ourselves as well. I hope everything can work out. Wish me luck! Thanks for all the advice too!

If you ask me I think all men existing today are always needing space.

Princess,

What happened? The cops wont come out for no reason, did he claim domestic violence or trespassing? It sounds like he is having problems with his medication.

I would get out of that relationship until you have both had some serious counseling. The hooking up with a girl is not that serious, I know it hurts, but you were broken up and he IS a Taurus LOL...

The thing that worries me is that if he is taking this medication and starts to play with the dosages (like "Hey I feel great so maybe I will skip today") then you are going to bear the brunt of his mood swings.


One thing that many people may not know about Taurus men (and I have only seen this in the males- Taurus risings included) is that they can really blow things out of proportion and that legendary temper can be quite scary.

A word of advice, I know your Aries Sun hates to back down from conflict (My Fire Sun / Moon are the same way). But when Taurus man is angry, and you see that smoke coming from his nose and he starts to snort and pace...IF he says "Leave me alone". You NEED to do just that. Leave him alone. IF you push you will get the horns..along with the bull. I am not sure if you two had a heated battle and he called the police to remove you, or if he was being delusional -

I will say another thing, if there was a record, you better deal with it. Talk to the police and make sure they understand the issue (his issues) if you ever have to undergo a background check this could come up- if there is a record of their coming to the house and him being the victim.

Sorry..please keep us upated...

Well the whole thing about his medication and his doctor's appointment...after we got back together we were talking and he told me he missed the appointment because he overslept so he really hasn't gotten any help yet. He's supposed to be doing counseling at school but i'm not sure if he is going to do it anymore because we went in together on friday to do it and we made appointments but i dont know if he's going to go through with it now. Before i knew he would because i could encourage him to, but now I'm not sure.

Well the whole situation with the cops. It all started because wanted to go over to his house to take a shower because my shower wasn't working and I Had no where else to go at the time and I had to work the next day and I hadn't taken a shower at all that day. Anyway, he was out with his friends Friday night and I was also out with my friends but I told him that I Needed a shower and if I could get one there. He said that'd be fine and he'd call me when he got home. So I got home at around 2:30 in the morning and I stayed up until about 3:30 waiting for him to get home and call so i could go over, but he didn't and I ended up falling asleep. Then at around 4 am he calls and tells me I can come over now he just got home. I was so angry because I really needed sleep for work and so did he (he had to wake up at 8 for work) so I told him that was really inconsiderate of him to do because if it were him I would've made sure to be home early enough for him to come over and get a shower. And he got angry and said that it wasn't inconsiderate he just wanted to spend time with his friends. I understood taht but I was just so angry that he had gotten in that late while i was sitting there waiting and being dirty and stuff. So we got in a fight and he said you know what just don't come over anymore I don't want you to come here in this state of mind and this mood. And that just angered me so much I said I was going to come over and I did just that..I went over there and i was freaking out and crying and he wouldn't let me in. We were on the phone as i stood outside his house begging to come in and he was threatening to call the cops if i didnt leave. There was no reason for it becasue I was not threatening to harm him in any way, i was just upset and needed a shower and I felt really rejected that he told me not to come over. Anyway, next thing i know he's on the phone and I could hear him from outside saying "she's rining my doorbell and knocking on my window right now she won't go away". The he gets of the phone and comes to the window and says what do you want? and i said look just come out here and talk to me. So he comes out and says "Annesia, you should just leave, the cops are on their way I don't want anything to happen just leave before they get here". So I really started panicking and stuff I didn't know what was giong to happen and he goes "relax, look i just told them to give you a warning nothing is going to happen". And then the cops showed up...they just told me that i need to stop doing that, but they took my name down and stuff. And then they escorted me out and I went home. I called him when I got home and asked why he did that and he said "Because I knew that if you came in I wouldn't get any sleep and I am too stressed I can't deal with this and with you anymore. Things are never going to change with us. I didn't know what else to do" and i said "All you had to do was talk to me".

It was a horrible situation. I realized that i have some issues to take of with myself now. I think I am obsessed with him and it's really not good. It is affecting my entire life- work, school, everything. I am dropping out of school for the rest of this semester and I am quitting my job. Right now I am back at my parents house and they are going to take me to a hospital tomorrow to see what I Need...if I need to get committed, if i need medication things like that. My sister and her boyfriend are both counselors and they believe that I might have boarderline personality disorder along with bipolar. I'm not really sure. I guess I will find out though. I just really feel like my life is horrible without him. After seeing him cry to me telling me how much he loves me and he knows that we can work it out and he will never let anything get in the way of that I don't understand how things can go back to waht they were again..this time even worse because now i am going crazy! I feel a little better being at home and being an hour and a half away from him because now I can't get myself into trouble by going over to his house unannounced and uninvited, but I still keep text messaging him from my phone and calling him and e-mailing him and stuff. I just don't know how to stop. One minute I am ok, the next I am freaking out and crying. I just feel like he is the only one who knows what is going on in my life because he was the only one there through all the bad events that happened between us. I know he loves me and cares about me, but for some reason it's even harder knowing that because I'm such a hopeless romantic that I believe that love is enough and if you really believe in it that it can get you through anything. Unfortunately he is not that way though. I am just hoping for the best..to be happy again and to be peaceful and just to live a healthy "Normal" life again. But on the other hand I'm also hoping that maybe one day in the future we can be together again...I hope that so bad and i wish i didn't but i do..things are just so hard for me right now.

Honey he is playing noncommital because he doesn't have any answers and he is hoping by pretending there are no problems they will go away. He reminds me of my Libra ex who pretended there was nothing wrong with our relationship for two years while we lived together and he never explained why he wouldn't touch me anymore??

He just went on pretending everyday,
Your Taurus is avoiding conflict and is scared to talk about what's going on in his life with you,

You both need a break to talk about those bad things that happened with other people so you can be better friends again.

LIbra, Taurus and Venus driven men need to be friends first, they are not into passionate scenes, and they will break up to avoid the conflict, just when it's necessary. That can be VERY frustrating and can make you seem depressed when in fact ou are angry and frustrated. Depression is simply anger turned inwards and that's what you have become. You simply can't deal with the anger and frustration like he can, because you don't deal with conflict that way.

The best thing to do is deal with the conflict on our own, in your own way and see him as a friend until you can forgive each other. First you have to forgive him enough to know how to ask him why he is so angry at the world? And then when you ask him enough, he will tell you, and maybe let you in again.

But it won't happen for a long time, in the meantime, de-stress, work on yourself, but I do not believe you are ill, with anything but frustration at trying to get answers from this man as to why he has rejected you.

One day he will tell you, but you have every right to what you really want, and spending time with friends helps. They know what you have been through too and they care, he is not the only one, and he can take care of himself, you are not accountable or guilty for going to his house. I would have done the same thing!

Take Care,

Thanks Natasha for the advice.

I would love to see him as a friend, but he refuses to see me or even talk to me on the phone. It's probably best that we don't talk just because every time we e-mail or anything I get set back and it gets worse each time. I e-mailed him saying I was never going to talk to him again because I can't it makes me worse, and he said that's probably for the best. Then I wrote back and said "well one more thing, do you care at all? does this hurt you at all to not talk to me the way it hurts me?" and that was earlier today he still hasn't written back..I don't think he's going to write back either. I think this is really it and I guess i will just have to face it and deal with it because there's nothing else I really can do. I just keep thinking positive though, I know that this is by far the hardest thing I've ever had to do- let someone go that I love this much, even though I've done it before it was not this extreme...But I know it will only make me stronger and I can only learn from this right? I'm just confused as to what to do about my next semester of school..i don't know if I should go back to where he is (even though we never see each other because it's a huge school) or if I should find somewhere new. I guess I can make that decision when it's closer to the time for that though. I don't even know if he's going to stay there anyway. Ahh I just feel confused...I'm sure there is nothing really really wrong with me, but I know i definately need to see a therapist to help me learn how to deal with my anger problems.

Thanks again for the advice
