Are Taurus men Possessive? |
 |
I thought it would be nice if I put up a question every now and then for everyone to put down their opinion etc. I have done this just for fun and it is not meant to be taken seriously!!
I have had many people email me telling me stories of male Taurean possessiveness; I have also experienced this when I was younger with an Earthy Taurus boy I went out with. On the other hand I have known a handful of these wonderful men who can’t stand to be tied down and are quite the opposite of possessive. What experiences do you have of this?
Please leave comments of your own opinions on this and any Taureans out there or friends and family of a possessive male Taurus …let’s hear from you too. Also if you have any questions you would like me to ask here then please drop me a line and I will put the best ones up on the site.

I am a capricorn woman who is seeing a taurus male. We split up recently and now we live apart and see each other a few times a week. The reason we split is because we used to row constantly and he is mean with money and is a little selfish. I am very giving and get hurt when he can’t give now and then. I don’t know if he is possessive as he does not reveal his true feelings a lot of the time. But I know that when i go out and return home he is very moody, so I guess that reveals something. He does look uncomfortable when he is around me and i am talking to any male but he never reveals he is bothered. I have been with him 4 years and he is still difficult to work out. Possessive? not sure. Untrusting? yes I think so. Capricorn and taurus are meant to get on so well, yet I argue with him more than any other partner I have been with. Things are more heated maybe this is because we care more, who knows. Something infuriating yet addictive about taurus men, anyone else find this??

Hmm, been married to one for almost 6 yrs. now & yes they are possessive & jealous. They will go thru your FaceBook account & texts. He has threatened to kill me, when I tried to seriously discuss a divorce with him 3 yrs.ago. He is a good father, but a horrible stepfather because he never seems to forgive the mistakes my oldest child makes. In my experience you cna’t be weak with this sign, they don’t respect tears. You have to be firm & use any means necessary ( including threatening to leave ) to your taurus man in line, otherwise they will trample all over you!

I am a cancer male, and my b/f is a taurus male. I have a lot of gemini in my chart. My bday is june 26. I’m impatient, and have had to learn a lot of patience with this man. However, after a month of courting and going out on dates, he finally nonchalantly asked hey, you wanna be b/f’s i said sure. haha From the beginning we had an unspoken attraction, its like we knew our roles exactly and where we fit in, in each others lives. He hasn’t shown much posession, only a couple times when i went out with friends, but i like it. To me it feels like he cares. However, he doesn’t seem possessive at all, because i dont give him a reason to doubt me. I’m constantly giving him attention, gifts, loyalty, cooking for him and spending time with him, sex etc…so he feels fullfilled in the relationship. I stress communication with him, and i give him a secure environment to do so…taurans have a hard time expressing their feelings verbally. For me knowing how he feels verbally, when we aren’t together physically is essential. So far things are good. The relationship is moving at a slower pace than i’m used to. Being a cancer, i love intensity in a relationship..emotions run wild, and run my life. I’m honest with him about my feelings, and my insecurities…and so far he doesn’t judge them, yet is trying to understand them. He is scared…just as much as i am. I understand him completely, and like a water sign…i do control and influence some of the relationship (behind the scenes). Like all cancers i have trust issues, and i trust him..and i’ve let down my walls to do so. Which is fricken scary, and can add to my moodswings when he doesn’t do some of the things i want him to. BUT i have to understand people do things in their own way, you can only be suggestive in ways that you need things done, that make you feel better. Over time this relationship is unfolding, layer by layer and its exciting and very emotionally drivin. And that concludes my paragraph essay! lol

i’m a gemini girl and i’ve been with my now hubby for the past 18 yrs…yes he’s a taurus …but to date i’ve yet to see a jealous side to him. I sometimes try to flirt to see if he would just give in and be a little jealous …but nope nothing zero nada….lol. I love him dearly and we hardly have any misunderstandings….we actuallly think alike …and that’s weird i know. So in short gemini’s and taurus can live happily together.

hi…
taurus guy are very possessive ones..even if you talk to ur guy friend, it is not acceptable to him..but ya if a taurian guy is in love he will give 110% to make the relationship successful..but when they hate its like u don exist for him at all..i’ll say they are extremes..difficult to deal with.too demanding…

I’m a Taurus guy and to be honest I’m slightly concerned reading some of the tales of women dating ‘Taurus’ blokes… Seriously, if they’re that crazy about your email, facebook, friends and other activities that you need to take care of in your life I’d suggest they’ve got personality problems based on co-dependence and low self esteem - NOTHING to do with their star sign at all.
Being a man of 38 I’m confident enough and secure in myself not to have to check up on the lady I happen to be dating. Believe me the ‘truth will out’ if they happen to decide to stray or be un-faithful and NO-ONE should put up with this sort of low-rent behaviour, male or female.
If you can’t trust the person you’re with then either you can’t trust yourself or you have a number of issues… I was married for seven years. I absolutely believed my wife would never cheat on me. I was not jealous at all. She was free to make friends, go out, have fun and we went out together too. It was a total surprise to me when it finally dawned on me that she had been unfaithful. Now I’m not saying we didn’t have other issues but hell, I had absolute faith in my lady, right to the end.
For those of you interested she was a Sagittarius, we have two beautiful children together and have both moved on. Since I’m loyal I’ve still got her back. Most of my friends and family can’t understand why I still care about her or why we’re friends. Carrying a grudge is a total waste of time and energy but lots of people don’t think like that of course.
I’ve read elsewhere (can’t remember where) that it takes a setback or disaster for Taureans to ‘wise up’ spiritually and actually evolve. Maybe this is what happened to me?
Above the significance of planets and the movements of the universe and energy first learn to love and respect yourself. The L’Oreal advert is (amusingly) a good maxim to live by, remember ‘You’re worth it’ all decisions about who you date and what you allow (or don’t) should flow from this point.
Peace Out

I’m a virgo girl and have recently (as in within the last week) started seeing a taurean guy. We went on a date this week and spent the whole time just talking constantly! He’s so intelligent and I’m completely relaxed around him. So far he doesn’t seem that possessive. He doesnt text me that often unless I text him 1st and he told me one of the reasons he split up with his ex was because she hassled him and text/phoned him all the time. He seems lovely so far but time will tell. We’re going to a concert tomorrow night so our 1st time in that sort of enviroment together may just show his true colours. I will have to wait and see.
On a slightly different note I dated a pisces for over a year and he was extremely possesive. He used to call me and text me all the time. (every half hour maximum) asking where I was, who I was with and what I was doing. Not only am I a virgo I am also an only child. I’m used to and enjoy my own company and some privacy and space to myself. I was engaged to that pisces and his possessiveness and paranoia drove me away. We don’t even talk anymore it is a great shame when we were such great friends. However my taurean doesn’t seem to be going that way

Wow…what a question. I am a Virgo woman and I am MARRIED to a Taurus Man. Possessive…yes, crazy…no. We are both possessive of each other in a healthy way and over our children as well. I would have to say that I am the crazier one of the 2 of us. Lol! With a Taurus man, you must be VERY upfront with them and firm with them as well so that they will get the picture. I have dated Pisces, Scorpios, Aries, Aquarius, Cancer and Gemini men and they were either way too emotional or complete a-holes for me. I am a tough woman and I NEED order in my life or I will lose myself and my Taurus husband is learning that. We have been together for 7 years in May and married for one year in May. We have had some financial hardships and we both still have a lot to learn, but according to our zodiac despcriptions…this is not something that we should be going through. NEVER let your Tauras man get lazy…nor too comfortable with barely doing anything. My husband is an only child that was raised by his mom and being with me has been a rude awakening for the most part. I will not put up with his bs and he knows it and so does his mom. But, all in all, I have never been with any man that has loved me sooooo much and will protect me no matter what. The GREAT Taurus man will be the one that has your back no matter what and they are OUTSTANDING fathers as well.

I’m a Taurus(female) and I am possessive, but not overly possessive. I like to know that the people I care about are okay and safe all the time so I usually text them “are you ok?” or “what are you doing?” about 3 times a day. I kinda freak if I don’t hear from them but I give them their space and time to text me back. If they don’t then it’s oh well and I move on. I’ve never been in a relationship with a Taurus male so I’m not sure if they are overly possessive. I’ve read the comments and it sounds like some of the males are a little crazy haha, but I also do agree with the people who said it depends on the Taurus male.

I dont believe that male taurus are possessive.
January 14th, 2011 at 7:51 pm
Love the picture; I’m a Taurus, happily married to a feisty Aries woman for 12 yrs; and while i am a little bit possessive, my lady is much more so. This possessiveness all depends on the male, we are all different in our own ways; I’m a Taurus w/Scorpio (rising); I am have a temper, you bet, albeit well controlled. Although I am concerned where I see others “painting” Taurus(es), all of us, good, bad and those behaving badly, with the same paint brush. and believe me, when I hear or see, a man beating on a woman, I’ll act because not only is this so wrong, but it makes all of us look bad.
Peace.

I’m a Sagittarius woman with a Taurus man. He’s very possessive, and I love every minute of it. He likes to feel needed. I agree with an earlier comment about how Taurus with Venus in Aries is very independent and expects his partner to be so, too. A man’s Venus can change everything. As can his moon sign. Anyway, this particular Taurus man doesn’t have his Venus in Aries, is very possessive and has never guided me wrong; his advice is usually along the same lines as my judgment. His view toward me is “trustworthy unless proven otherwise,” which is fine by me. I couldn’t live with myself and wouldn’t feel I deserved him if I cheated, anyhow (lol, why would I want to?). He’s also very protective. As far as being a Sagittarius, though, me supposed to be freedom-loving and all… when you give your partner the reassurance and love and devotion they need, and you have a track record of being trustworthy, practical and responsible, they’ll give you lots of freedom. Unless there’s something innately unhealthy about them, which is possible, too, but not as common as we like to think.
Another piece of advice — when you don’t add fire to a person’s failings, like jealousy or control, but allow them to have the reassurance they need (even if you let them have control,) they stop grasping for it as much. Feeling secure, they stop needing the same level of compensation that they needed before because you’ve opened the door to the closet and shown them that there aren’t any monsters in there. Just food for thought.

I have been in a relationship with my Taurus boyfriend for almost 4years. In the beginning he was VERY possessive. If I didn’t reply his texts within 10minutes he’d go berserk. He didn’t let me talk/make friends with other guys. It used to drive me crazy and we always quarreled about it. But somehow after our frequent argumentms, I made him see some sense that he was being too overly possessive and it was not healthy. That was 1 year into our relationship and he changed drastically after that.
Now we’re a normal loving happy couple and he does not show his possessiveness anymore! He understands me. I guess gaining his trust is VERY important. I know if I make a single mistake, he will never fully be able to trust me again so I trend really carefully. I make sure I tell him every thing about the people I hang out with and basically let him know everything in my life in order for him to feel secure and in order for me to attain my freedom!
So I guess Taurus IS possessive but he will be fine as long as you give him a sense of security and not a reason to distrust you.

Yes. My sweet Taurus man is possesive. Being a Capricorn, it makes me feel secure. He and I were together over 30 years ago, and I had no idea how his jealousy and possessiveness were making him absolutely miserable! He and I are both musicians, and I’m not bad looking (I guess!) and I do have some talent (again, I guess!). It was the reaction from the men in the audience etc that made him absolutely crazy. And there was nothing he could do about it since they weren’t personal friends and changed every night! Eventually we parted - now 30 years later, we are re-united, and in the process of getting back together he shared with me what he had gone through. And I thought I was the jealous one (and I was!), he’s handsome, talented, funny and sweet - Ahhh! I can’t tell you how many times I would slide in between he and any woman talking to him - ugh! But now, when he texts 20 times a day, calls 15 times and wants to come to my office and take me to lunch, well, odd, but I kinda like it! I was married (now divorced) and last night he asks if I still have my wedding ring - I said yes, and he asks “why?”. So I pull it out, show it to him, show him that I had to dig it out of a box buried deep in the closet and asked him what he thought I should do with it. “Hock it!, Sell it! but don’t keep it.” I felt like saying, “I will if you replace it!” But maybe a little later for that!! I love this man, possesive, jealous, sweet, compassionate, send-me-to-the-moon lover, and communicates!!

Possessive…I’m not so sure. Maybe.
What I do know is that they are stubborn, irritating and un-aologetic: they cause problem with their hard-headedness (not to mention un-intuitiveness), and then they move on in life with barely a regret.
Honestly, I avoid dating Taurus because I strongly dislike them, as I’m sure many do. It’s sickening to know that MY sign is supposed to be complimentary to theirs. (Barf much?)

Not really. all signs could become possessive. I m a Gemini myself and i have done crazy stupid shit to tie down my ex bfs… I m now dating a taurus..and the good thing is i don’t have to do so much anymore and i know hes with me because hes sending me more texts and asking me out most often than any guy i have dated in the past ( i have dated all signs and mostly sags, libras, aquarius and gems). I find him very logical and calm too so i dont see any extreme signs of jealousy. I guess he trusts me because i dont spend much time with other friends once i have started to date someone…not so typical about a Gemini right? I guess its coz my Venus is Taurus..that explains why i m so attracted to stability, prestige and comfort.

I am a taurus girl and i am only 11 but i have to say this is not really true the possessive part. Yeah I am strubron but who heard of a taurus who love to chat a lot and having a lot of fiends and show off? WEll i am that kind of taurus and for the eating part i am always not hungry and my parent have to push me to eat.For the possesive part i share my stuff with my friend is that counted as possesive? But i have to admit i am a little bit possisve when it come to some people hiting my friends.
March 23rd, 2012 at 12:47 pm
It me agian and I want to add that a taurus don’t have a bad temper if you are nice to thembut if you mess with then they are going to to get even and i am telling you this because if someone mess with me like pushing me and steping on my feet and stuff i will not only beat them up but I will use my brain to embrassed them or get them in a big trouble.
