I think he's being immature.
He's in his feelings because for some reason he's insecure about you spending the weekend by yourself... I think it's a little ridiculous.
I'll give you the advice I've been given before as I've been too often in similar situations:
Keep communication open, tell him how you feel and explain that sometimes you need space and he's going to have to understand it has nothing negative to do with him.
I find that I can easily upset/offend /hurt water sign males with little effort...without meaning to obvi.
Good luck. 😵

“He responded that I didn't want to spend time w him 🤦 I shared that it wasn't personal. Well, Saturday morning came and there was complete silence from him. I was slightly disappointed. Nevertheless, I let him do him, so-to-speak.“
“He admitted today that he infact took it personal and chose to refrain from talking w me because ‘he wanted to respect my wishes.”
You asked for alone time and he gave it to you...what’s the problem? The second you wanted the attention back again he is supposed to jump into that mode again?

😂😂😂 You must be as sensitive as he is. Did I hit a nerve? 🤔
No where did I use the words, "alone time". I was simply compelled to stay home to tackle some personal goals. I didn't think that meant, I couldn't hold a conversation too. Some people can speak on the phone/or text WHILE getting shit done. He chose not to speak because he made my personal endeavor all about him.click to expand

You wanted space to get your own personal goals done. He gave you the space and now you are nagging him?
I feel sorry for him, that he has to deal with you.

Yes. There is happiness between us. Really didn't mean to hurt him and I shared that w him. I tried to convey to him not to take it personal. But yeah, he did. We'll see what tomorrow brings.click to expand

Yeah.. unfortunately we can be hella stubborn when our feelings are hurt. It's best to just talk it out after we've had time to reflect on what happened.
He'll definitely bring it up again and hopefully apologize.. if he's a mature crab.click to expand

Yikes, that was a little harsh. I mean, I think this a beautiful thing. Dating allows two people to come together and learn more about what they need in a relationship. They both just have different needs pertaining to "time spent together". OP likes space and her man likes time spent. I think if she feels the communication is a little difficult, this is something to consider before taking the relationship further.click to expand

Hahaha! I like clingy too! But, I'm a crab! what can I say? Saggies like to be freely expressive and not held down. They hate being smothered.click to expand
Posted by peaceandtranquility_96
Cancers are usually very sympathetic to their partner's needs. I think he may just feel a little rejected and he took it the wrong way. Cancers can act like little babies at times and come off passive aggressive. I've done it many times. However, cancers truly just want to share their time with those they care about. They don't let others into their shell easily. I think if you just have an open and honest conversation with him, he'll be sympathetic to your needs.

Well gee I hope so 😅
Seeing eachother on the weekends isn't clingy. They're in the honeymoon faze and this is his first offense.
Clingy has many levels..

She made this thread with her “he hit a nerve” cause he didn’t talk to her and took some probably much needed shell time. 🐚

I would agree. It was his shutting down for the whole day, following my decision, that didn't sit right. I was considerate enough to give him a heads up but, he just didn't take it well.
Maybe gently next time tell him you’d love to be with him but you have a lot of personal things to take care so you can spend more time with him later without being preoccupied about what you have to do?click to expand

🙁 I was gentle. I shared that I've been feeling bad about something I need to focus on and the weekend would be the best time to do so. That we could get back together on Monday. I mean, he and I were together Mon thru Fri so, it would've only been fair to self to take care of it this weekend. Sigh.
It’s a cancers world we’re just living in it...🙂click to expand

I see both sides..
I see your side, where you told him you needed time off and he was hurt (again, the cancer needs reassurance..)
And it comes across as petty and childish to take it personally, after this was covered (you gave notice), frustrating..
But I see his side, where you told him you needed to do something not involving him--which bothers him cause he wants to be with you always--but then you still wanted to text or communicate.. this would bug me. You don't want to hang out but you still want to talk or text-- why? I can see how Cancer would not understand this.. how that would feel kinda cruel.
But I wouldn't know how to make that make sense to a Sag.
That's a head scratcher..

Yeah! I know exactly what he’s doing because I do this to. He may feel like you taking time off was code for “ehh.. I’m not that interested in spending time with you anymore”. Now, he has a total wall up and is trying to ignore those feelings of rejection by pushing himself away and avoiding love at ALL costs. But, deep down, he really wants you. Gosh! Cancers and our security minded nature! Lol
But, he has to learn how to compromise! Life brings situations where you may not always be with your partner. this time apart will allow him to grow as an individual in my opinion . What’s his moon sign if you don’t mind me asking?click to expand

That's definitely mind-boggling. It's "cruel" to simply expect someone to speak (aka 'hello') even though you're not hanging together? That happens everyday frankly.
The honest truth is, there's going to come another day, where I may not be able to see him or engage with him. It's my hope that he handles it better and not make it all about him.
That's realistic and healthy.
If he does the same thing x2 post about it and we'll surely tear him apart for it 😄click to expand

I've been dating a Cancer male for about 3 months. Overall, he's wonderful to me ☺️ He's reliable, attentive, kind, polite, giving, respectful, loving, supportive, and the like ❤️ No arguments or major issues 🤞
But today, he hit a nerve. We spent time together last week. We usually spend time together over the weekend too, but I wanted to work on a personal goal at home and decided to skip our time together this weekend. I shared this with him Friday afternoon. He responded that I didn't want to spend time w him 🤦 I shared that it wasn't personal. Well, Saturday morning came and there was complete silence from him. I was slightly disappointed. Nevertheless, I let him do him, so-to-speak. It's Sunday. He texts me this morning and invites me out. I declined as I was still resting AND had plans to stay home all day. Mind you, we have plans in place for tomorrow. Here's the problem: He admitted today that he infact took it personal and chose to refrain from talking w me because "he wanted to respect my wishes". I told him that he was acting spoiled and entitled. That it's perfectly okay and normal for us to go a day or two w/o seeing each other.
As a Sag, it's not ideal for me to have a man around me everyday. I'm not wired that way. A month or so ago, I shared that w him. I thought he understood. But, I see now, that he's attached as he also shared that "it was difficult for him to be without me Saturday." 🙄
Honestly, I don't want to deal w this. I know that I can apologize, but, for what? Bottom-line is, he's not a child and babying a man is not what I do.
We didn't really talk it out today, so, I'm slightly uncomfortable about seeing him tomorrow.
Thoughts?

everything else aside, I think its maybe too late to say on a Friday afternoon that you dont want to see him on the weekend, if you two usually spent the weekend together. You were together Mon-Thu, it was plenty of time to say something before and the result would be maybe different?
I can understand that being together Mon-Thu is enough and you need things to be done on the weekend
I would suggest you dont dwell on this "misunderstanding" now, be nice to him, cuddle a lot and next time think of something beforehand, like tell him on Tue that you need to do stuff on a weekend and the blow for him will be less and softened, as he sees you again on Wed, so it would be a win-win, he would be warned beforehand and you still have Wed or Thu for to be together, and you can looking forward to your relaxing weekend without him
