Why a Taurus Man Suddenly Becomes Distant?

But there are many reasons a Taurus man may suddenly become distant. If you miss the mark and make an assumption about his motives, it could cost you the connection.

Taurus men are notorious for being inconsistent in relationships, while expecting others to be consistent with them. This can lead many women to give up on Taurus guys.

One of the ways he conveniently sabotages himself is by seeking small details to get upset about. He can hold a grudge and create resentments out of thin air. He may find imperfections to criticize. If you’ve done something to offend him, he may go quiet.

His Ex Came Back

If you’re wondering how to know when a Taurus man is done with you, sometimes the only way to know for sure is to give him time. If he suddenly goes quiet, it could be because his ex-girlfriend came back into the picture.

When he is entering a new relationship, a Taurus man will often try to keep a door open on a past relationship. He suffers from a fear of missing out.

Money Trouble

One of the most surprising reasons a Taurus man will suddenly go distant is because he is having money problems. This baffles many women who would rather nurture a loving relationship with him than worry about whether or not he is as wealthy as he’d like to be.

But this doesn’t work for Taurus men. They are obsessed with financial stability and security. If a Taurus man feels insecure about his money, he’ll put all his attention into trying to balance the budget.

He’ll focus less on you as a result. Sometimes, he’ll even go so far as to break up with you because he knows he doesn’t have the energy to focus on fixing his finances and paying attention to a relationship.

He’s Testing You

Knowing what to do when a Taurus man ignores you is crucial. Sometimes, he’s just testing you. If you make a dramatic display of possessiveness, jealousy or insecurity, he’ll consider the relationship a lost cause.

When a Taurus man is testing you, he will go quiet for a short period of time and gauge your reaction. You’ll know he still loves you because he’ll quickly get back on schedule and resume his normal communication with you.

Testing behavior usually happens early in the relationship and is usually something a Taurus man will only do once or twice. It is not usually an ongoing issue with a Taurus man.

He’s Insecure

If you’re wondering how to know if a Taurus man misses you, the best thing to do is to watch how he acts. If he misses you, he will come back around and start to text and call you again.

One of the reasons a Taurus man can be distant is because he is naturally insecure. He is easily threatened by the slightest changes and this includes adapting to new relationships.

Taurus men can feel overwhelmed by the small adjustments that people make when they share their lives with a partner. When he feels insecure or feels like he’s losing control, he will start to shut down and may become distant.

He’s Overwhelmed

Sometimes a Taurus man is overwhelmed by things going on in his life and becomes distant for reasons that are unrelated to you. He may be in love with you but under more stress than usual.

Although it only takes a few minutes to send a text message, remember that Taurus men are concrete and efficient. If there is a problem a Taurus man needs to deal with, he will pour all his energy into solving the problem.

This can mean that everything else becomes a lower priority. He may even forget to eat when he’s focused on a work project or stressful situation. If your Taurus love interest is suddenly distant because he is overwhelmed with other issues, you may not know at first.

Eventually, he will come around and tell you about all the things that have been troubling him. You may wish he would be honest about his circumstances sooner, but for a Taurus man, the need to save face is greater than the need to gain support.
