Any Cancer/Aqua Success Stories—

I'm a Cancer woman. I've been with my aqua man for almost 5 months. We had one hiccup. His top two love languages are physical touch and quality time. My top one by far is acts of service. I like to know I'm being thought of. We've been long distance for almost 2 months (finally ending on Saturday), and he was having a hard time with me being gone. He's stressed with work and decided to bury himself in work day and night instead of being present in the relationship. I told him I know I can't be around now, but we can skype. Weeks later he tells me he hates Skyping because it makes him miss me more and he feels horrible days later. When I don't get attention from the one I want I act upon the attention I get from others. No I don't cheat. I only text other guys. Besides that much needed argument things have been smooth. I know 5 months together is nothing, but according to astrology we shouldn't have lasted this long. He's so caring, understanding, nonjudgmental, and self aware (really important to me). He told me he loved me pretty early on (right after sex). I freaked out and didn't say it back. It was too early for that. I want to hear your stories...good and bad. Any pointers going forward?

I personally don't like Aquas as partners because as you've mentioned, our love languages are different. I never felt secure in the 2 relationships I've had with them, both were very selfish and would act out when they didn't get their way and it always had to be their way where as I like a man who puts my wants/needs above his. I never felt appreciated by the Aquas and they made me feel as though I was the lucky one when in reality they were lucky I gave them the time of day.

I do know a Cancer female/Aqua male marriage but I wouldn't call it a success because the Cancer is unhappy but she's not going to leave and admit she's in a crappy marriage.

um 5 months is NOTHING. that's a drop in the bucket. You're lucky you got past one month or two.

why don't you just go with the flow of things, ups and downs of your relationship, and if you really love him, you will HANG on to him. As long as he is not a toxic man, or hurts you or is cruel to you...basically is a good man even if his only love style is physical presence and touch, you love him and he loves you. You can't beat that, honestly you can't, because many women would just kill to have any kind of love that is good,loyal, and he treats you well.

Hahaha yes Cancer Lady! Guys should feel lucky we even give them the time of day. When you say they'd act out was there anything you could do to bring them back to normal?

Lisabethur8- that's what I said! I'm surprised we reached five months. I guess I have to try and get out of my head as much as possible. It's hard though. It's what I naturally do. I think way too much :/

Clueless Cancer- validation? Hmm....I want to know if Aquas are usually so into their women? Are they known for suddenly backing off? I don't want to allow myself to truly fall for someone and then he disappears. He's brought down some major walls, and I don't want to go backwards
