Warning Signs to Watch
Scope Creep
The arrangement slowly expands beyond what was originally agreed. More contact, more activities, more emotional involvement. If this happens without explicit discussion, address it.
Relationship Tension
If the bull arrangement is creating tension in your relationship rather than enhancing it, something needs to change. The arrangement should add to your relationship, not subtract.
One Partner Losing Interest
If either partner is no longer enjoying the arrangement, it's time to pause and reassess. Both partners need to be enthusiastic for this to work.
Ending the Arrangement
Sometimes arrangements run their course. When it's time to end:
- Be direct but kind: "We've decided to step back"
- You don't owe a detailed explanation
- Thank him for the positive experiences
- Don't ghost someone you've had an ongoing connection with
- It's okay if he's disappointed—that's not your problem to solve
Your Relationship First
Never let a bull arrangement compromise your primary relationship. If you need to pause, end, or significantly change the arrangement to protect your relationship, do it. A good bull will understand.
