10 Taurus Man Red Flags (Learn To Spot Them)

Taurus men are known for being stubborn, but it’s a red flag if yours takes it too far. If he can’t compromise, refuses to let go of people or things in the past, and constantly argues with you, that’s a red flag!

Being clingy can also be a red flag. If your Taurus man is overprotective, possessive, and refuses to leave you alone, that’s a bad sign.

A Taurus man who is self-absorbed and overly indulgent can also be a red flag. If he can’t control himself and can’t focus on anyone but himself, run the other way.

1. He’s Overly Stubborn

What are the red flags of a Taurus man? One trait that many people know about is a Taurus man’s stubborn nature.

Being stubborn by itself isn’t always a red flag. Sometimes, a Taurus man’s stubborn nature can be helpful! If he’s so stubborn that he refuses to listen to reason, that is a red flag.

If your Taurus man continues to argue and insists he’s right, even when shown facts that show he’s wrong, that’s a red flag. If your Taurus man is stubborn because he can’t handle being strong, that’s a bad sign for any future relationship.

Are Taurus men stubborn all the time? Many are not. They can learn how to compromise and listen to others. If yours can’t, that is definitely a red flag, though!

2. He’s Unable To Let Go Of People

Being unable to let go of people can be a significant red flag for a Taurus man. If your Taurus man seems like he’s still hung up on his ex or can’t let go of former friends, that might be a bad sign.

You’ll know a Taurus man can’t let go of his ex if he constantly talks about her. If he and his ex aren’t even friends, but he always seems to know what she’s up to, that’s a red flag!

This can be a red flag for multiple reasons. It’s a bad sign for your relationship if your Taurus man can’t let go of his ex because he’ll never be able to move on and commit to you.

It’s also a red flag because this might mean your Taurus man won’t let go of you if you end things with him. If he seems like he still keeps tabs on his exes and former friends, he’ll likely do the same thing to you.

3. He Holds Grudges

Holding grudges is one of a Taurus man’s bad habits. This can be a red flag, especially in combination with other red flags.

If a Taurus man constantly holds grudges and never seems to forgive anything, that’s a bad sign. You’ll likely never be able to have a healthy relationship with your Taurus man if he’s incapable of forgiving you for your mistakes.

It’s not necessarily a red flag if your Taurus man is a little distrustful because he was cheated on or holds a single grudge over a significant betrayal. It is a red flag if he holds grudges over every little thing.

If your Taurus man continues to hold a grudge because of a minor, insensitive comment you made weeks ago, that’s a bad sign. If he can never forgive anyone for anything, that’s a definite red flag!

4. He’s Clingy

Many Taurus men like to spend a lot of quality time with their loved ones. That’s not a bad thing! It can become a negative thing if your Taurus man becomes too clingy, though.

If your Taurus man constantly calls you multiple times in a row, that might be a red flag. He might be clingy if he keeps sending text messages just because you didn’t answer the first one after a few minutes!

Everyone has their own definition of clingy, but a Taurus man who is overly clingy will likely be too much for anyone.

A clingy Taurus man will become anxious if you don’t reply to his messages right away. If you want to spend time with friends or alone, he might try to guilt you into spending time with him instead.

5. He’s Argumentative

Being argumentative can be one of a Taurus man’s negative traits. It’s a bad sign if your Taurus man is constantly irritable and if he always picks fights with others.

There’s a difference between enjoying friendly debates and picking fights with people. There’s also a difference between standing up for your beliefs and constantly arguing with people over everything!

Some Taurus men don’t know where the line is. If yours doesn’t, that’s a red flag! Your relationship will likely be a constant battle if your Taurus man is too argumentative.

If you’re wondering when to give up on a Taurus man, focus on how often you two argue. If he picks fights with you almost daily, you might want to end your relationship. He likely won’t stop any time soon.

6. He’s Demanding

Being demanding can definitely be a red flag. If your Taurus man constantly tells you what to do and makes demands of everyone around him, be wary!

A demanding Taurus man will likely have control issues. Pay attention to how your Taurus man treats others, not just you.

Your Taurus man might be sweet to you at the beginning of your relationship. However, if he’s constantly demanding and controlling with everyone around him, he will eventually act that way with you.

Pay attention to how your Taurus man acts when he doesn’t get his way. If he continues to make demands and won’t back down, that’s a red flag! If he can’t compromise, you should run the other way.

7. He’s Overly Indulgent

Some Taurus men definitely know how to moderate themselves. They like to relax and enjoy themselves, but they know the limit and work just as hard as they play.

If your Taurus man isn’t able to moderate himself, that’s a red flag! A Taurus man who is overindulgent and doesn’t know his limits can easily make mistakes that will cause issues in your relationship.

A Taurus man who doesn’t know how to resist temptation might cheat on you just because the option came along, for example. An overindulgent Taurus man might have financial issues, and that will put a strain on your relationship as well.

If your Taurus man doesn’t know how to stop himself when he reaches his limit, that’s a bad sign. He will likely struggle in many ways because of his lack of moderation, which will negatively impact your relationship with him.

8. He’s Self-Absorbed

How do you know if a Taurus man is playing you? One sign that a Taurus man might be playing you is that he’ll only care about himself and his needs. He’ll never focus on you or your happiness.

A completely self-absorbed Taurus man can be a red flag even if he isn’t playing you. No matter how much a Taurus man loves you, you can’t have a healthy relationship with him if he’s only focused on himself.

A self-absorbed Taurus man might be overly focused on his appearance and on making sure his needs are met. He might be so obsessed with making sure everything looks good that he doesn’t focus on your relationship.

Focusing on yourself sometimes isn’t a bad thing! If your Taurus man never focuses on you and is entirely self-absorbed, your relationship won’t be happy.

9. He’s Overprotective

Being overprotective can be one of a Taurus man’s toxic traits if he takes it too far.
It’s normal to want to protect your loved ones. Knowing that your Taurus man will stand up for you and help you if you ever need him might feel good.

A Taurus man who is overprotective can quickly become controlling, though. If he feels he needs to protect you from everything, that’s a red flag.

If a Taurus man is overprotective, he might start treating you like a child. He’ll try to keep you from doing things you want to, and he’ll claim it’s because he cares about you.

Being a little protective might seem sweet. If your Taurus man is so overprotective that he starts controlling everything you do, that’s a red flag!

10. He’s Jealous & Possessive

The dark side of a Taurus man can be seen when he gets jealous or when he starts to feel possessive over his partner.

Simply being jealous isn’t necessarily a red flag. Jealousy is a normal emotion that almost everyone feels sometimes. It’s how your Taurus man acts on his jealousy that can be the red flag.

Are all Taurus men jealous to a fault? Many of them are not! A Taurus man can learn to control his jealousy. If he doesn’t, though, your relationship will quickly sour.

It’s a red flag if your Taurus man becomes so jealous that he picks fights with your male friends or with you about them. If he becomes possessive over you and starts trying to control who you interact with, that’s a bad sign!

If your Taurus man cannot control his jealousy, and it’s ruining your relationship, let him go. Don’t let him control you.
