He’s Insecure

If you’re in a relationship with a Taurus man, you’ll likely already know that he gets insecure sometimes. This insecurity can cause him to pull away if it gets out of control.

A Taurus man might pull away if he feels like he’s not good enough for you. He may also keep his distance if he fears being hurt or getting abandoned.

You can try to reassure your Taurus man. Remind him of how much you love and care about him. Eventually, he will learn that he can go to you when he feels insecure and that you will make him feel better.

He’s Shy

A Taurus man’s weird behavior can sometimes be explained by the fact that he is shy. Some Taurus men take time to warm up to people!

If you think your Taurus man might be shy, be patient! Try to be understanding. Encourage him to open up, initiate conversations, and be friendly toward him, but don’t push anything. Let him open up at his own pace.

Things Are Moving Too Fast

Why does a Taurus man become distant? If your Taurus man becomes distant after intimacy or after you take a significant step in your relationship, it might be because things are moving too fast for him!

Taurus men like to take things slow in their relationships. They aren’t in any hurry because they want to be confident that they’re committing to the right person before they take any major steps.

If your Taurus man pulls away when you bring up moving in together, he might not be ready. If he seems distant when you try to be affectionate or initiate sex, you’re moving too fast for him.

Slow down if this is the problem. Tell your Taurus man you are happy to do things at whatever pace is comfortable for him.

This one weird trick is the only way to attract a Taurus man.

He’s Upset

If your Taurus man is acting distant, another potential reason is that he’s upset. He won’t always tell you when something is wrong. He might try to deal with it himself instead.

Your Taurus man will act distant if he’s upset with you, but he’ll also become distant even if you’re not the problem. Regardless of why, he will not always go to you when he’s sad or angry.

If you think your Taurus man might be upset, offer support. If he genuinely wants space, be willing to give it to him, but see if you can do anything to comfort him and cheer him up.

Let your Taurus man know you will gladly be a shoulder to cry on when he needs it. Show him that you want to make him feel better and that his emotions are not a burden to you.

You’ve Hurt Him

If your Taurus man is suddenly distant, it might be because you’ve done something to hurt him. Taurus men can be incredibly sensitive, and it’s easy to hurt their feelings without realizing it.

The best thing to do if you think you’ve hurt your Taurus man’s feelings is to apologize. If you two fought recently or you know you said something insensitive, apologize.

If you have no idea what you might have done, but your Taurus man seems to be upset with you, talk to him. Make it clear that you are willing to apologize and make things right but that you need to know what you did first.

Encourage your Taurus man to talk to you when you do something to hurt him. Let him know that you genuinely do not want to upset him. You’ll make mistakes sometimes, but you can always fix them.

He’s Confused

When a Taurus man loses interest, he will start to pull away from you. He might also distance himself if he’s confused about his feelings. He’ll want time to think things over.

Taurus men think through everything they do carefully. If a Taurus man is confused about his feelings, he won’t want to proceed with your relationship until he figures them out.

A Taurus man won’t want to commit or take any other serious steps in your relationship if he doesn’t know what he wants. Instead, he will pull away so that he has time to think things over.

Your Taurus man won’t want to bother you with his confusion, so he may not tell you this is why he’s pulling away. Instead, he will take some time to himself and return once he’s figured everything out.

He’s Unsure of Your Intentions

If your Taurus man is not affectionate suddenly, even though he used to be, that is a sign something might be wrong with your relationship. If he’s distancing himself and refusing to move forward, he may be unsure of your intentions.

A Taurus man doesn’t want to be confused about his feelings for you, and he doesn’t want to be unsure about your feelings for him, either! He needs to know that you two are on the same page, or he won’t want to continue your relationship.

He’ll pull away if you do anything to cause a Taurus man to doubt your intentions. If he thinks you might be using him, he might pull away so he has time to think things through and figure out what’s happening.

If this is the issue, make your intentions clear. Show your Taurus man that you are committed to him and that you’re on the same page.

Is your Taurus man not communicating with you? Here's the trick to reel your Taurus back in.

He Doesn’t Trust You

If your Taurus man is detached and seems reluctant to open up, it might be because he doesn’t fully trust you. He will likely act distant and never get close to you if you haven’t established trust.

Sometimes, a Taurus man doesn’t trust you because it’s too early in your relationship. If you two don’t know one another well yet, he’ll be distant until you show him you are trustworthy.

A Taurus man will also pull away if you do something to break his trust. If you cross a boundary, tell a secret, or do something to betray him, he’ll immediately distance himself.

If you break a Taurus man’s trust, you must work hard to regain it. He will likely continue to pull away until you prove you will not make the same mistake again.

He’s Stressed

If your Taurus man disappears and reappears whenever he’s got extra work to do, he’s stressed out. He will temporarily pull away when overwhelmed and return as if nothing happened once he feels better.

Your Taurus man might not always tell you he’s stressed or overwhelmed. It might be easier to relax and deal with everyone once he’s no longer so stressed out. He won’t always think to tell you what’s going on.

Encourage your Taurus man to talk to you. Tell him that you’ll gladly give him space when he’s overwhelmed and wants to be alone but that you’d like to know what’s going on so that you don’t worry about him!

If your Taurus man seems stressed, you can also offer to take some responsibility off his shoulders. Do some extra chores and assist him in any way you can. That will help him to stop pulling away.

This magic will make your Taurus man want a relationship with you.

He Doesn’t Know How to Ask for Help

The key to understanding a distant Taurus man is learning that he doesn’t always know how to ask for help. He will pull away when stressed, upset, hurt, or confused because he doesn’t always know how to ask for emotional support.

While Taurus men can be direct in some ways, they hide their emotions. Some are too stubborn and prideful to reveal their vulnerabilities. Others don’t want to be a burden on their loved ones.

Your Taurus man will pull away sometimes instead of telling you he’s upset. Whether he’s angry at you or stressed out because of work, he won’t always ask for the help and support he needs.

You will likely need to reach out and offer support when your Taurus man pulls away. Do your best to make it clear that you want to support him and that he’s not a burden for needing help.
