Taurus falls in love slowly, but once they're there, they're in deep. And since Taurus hates change more than just about any other zodiac sign, breakups can really shake their world. But how will they act during and after a breakup? Spoiler alert: They're going to hold a grudge for a long, long time.
They Take a Long Time to Exit
Just like Taurus is slow to fall in love, they're also slow to exit it if they're the one breaking up with you. It takes them a long time to come to a decision before they break up. And if you break up with them, you can expect that Taurus will try to drag it out and see if there's anything you can do to fix it because they hate change and commit deeply. Breakups with Taurus can be long, drawn-out, and often passive-aggressive affairs.
The Amount of Drama Depends on Who Does the Dumping
As earth signs, Tauruses aren't typically dramatic souls (they leave that to the water signs), but they do have a temper. So their reaction to a breakup directly correlates with who does the dumping. If they dump you, their decision is unemotional (on the surface), final, and irreversible, so go away quietly, please, and thank you (but maybe you can be friends later). If you dump them (especially when they're not expecting it), their response is much more likely to be explosive anger that can be a little intimidating, followed by attempts at reconciliation, and finished off with a nice, long, sulky grudge.
When They're Done, They're Done
We've alluded to it above, but when a Taurus decides they're done with a relationship, there's no reeling it back in. Just as they'll stubbornly hold onto a relationship that's long past its sell-by date, they're equally committed to just how over it is once the breakup is final.
They'll Stalk Your Social Media
Not that you'll ever actually know this, but if you've broken up with a Taurus who wasn't ready to be done yet, they'll probably stalk your social media. They can be possessive, and they want to know what you're up to for their own peace of mind. They're used to knowing what you're doing, and changing that habit will be hard for them. Don't worry — they're unlikely to take it to the real world, but as they process and work on getting over your relationship, they'll be checking out your socials on the sly regularly.
There's a Good Chance They'll Wallow for a While
Taurus will retreat to their home haven to lick their wounds after a breakup. Introspection may follow as they attempt to figure out what happened to derail your relationship. It may take some time for Taurus to mourn the end of your relationship after you've broken up with them. It's not unusual for Taurus to take a long time to accept that the relationship is over, and they're not one to move through anything quickly, particularly difficult emotions.
They Might Hit You Up After What They Deem Is an Appropriate Amount of Time
A Taurus who broke up with you is done, but if you broke up with them, they're probably not finished yet. And after some time to process, you might receive a brief, nonchalant text, probably inquiring about how you're doing after your breakup. This will be followed by an invitation for a "casual" meetup. If you're truly done, don't be fooled. This is a front for an attempted reconciliation. Don't toy with their emotions and accept the invite. Give Taurus the time and space they need to process, and remember that just because they seem casual and over it, doesn't mean they are.
Eventually, They'll Forgive
It may take what seems like a really long time, but eventually, Taurus will forgive you for breaking up with them, but they'll never, ever forget that you hurt them. So while a friendship may be possible WAY in the future, the shadow of the breakup will always be there.
