I've been with my Cancer man for 3 months, for the last month, he started to withdraw. He said that his mum was having problems. We used to talk everyday but it slowly decreased because of his issues. I got frustrated because he never told me details of his problems. Not knowing anything soon frustrated me. For the last 2 weeks, I had been texting him - time after time, he would tell me to leave him alone. We would exchange 1-5 text per day. After telling me he needed alone time, I left him be for about 3 days. When I finally texted him again, I asked: "Do you still need alone time?" "Are you okay?" and he didn't respond. I started to spam him phone as I had so much frustration from not knowing only to receive zero replies. When I finally texted him the 6th msg, he blocked me on IM. I called him and he rejected my calls. Blocked my number. I soon realised that he blocked me on FB as well.

I apologised via voicemail and it's been 4 days. I am still blocked. I know I pissed him off. Right now, I'm wondering if it's actually over. He promised me before that if he wanted to end things, he would be direct and honest. Our base of our relationship is honesty and straightforwardness. Is he really gone for good?

Thank you queencancer for your response. It really meant a lot. I know my mistake now. I guess it's also cos of the short time we've been together that led to me thinking that it was ok to keep asking. I've never had a cancer man in my life before and people would normally ask me for advice when they have issues. Being cut off left right up down and centre made me feel really loss. I ain't sure if he is trying to punish me. We had one major fight before - early in the relationship, He said he wanted me out of his life cos' I was always making excuses. Back then, I didn't try to accommodate him. He blocked me on IM (alike presently) but I still could call him and things were settled within minutes. Because of the previous incident, I ain't sure if it's gone gone for now. I feel a form of injustice as I wasn't given any warning of being blocked, he never said a word and just did it. 😢

He'll be back when he's ready. You need patience, and you seem lack of it..
Meanwhile live your life, focus on yourself.

Don't try to talk him out of his problems. Women share problems, men don't.

Thanks queencancer...my friends were telling me I shouldn't have apologised. If a woman cares (although I was damn annoying) the man means something. When a woman doesn't bother, that's when something is wrong.

Thanks maomao.I've been living my life. He ain't gonna affect my work and all. I won't let a man ruin my future for me. I'm thinking if I should set a time limit (if he ain't back within a month) I'm out...do you think it's fair? I tend to worry for people in my life. I want them to be happy. The world has too much shit to be harping on problems all the time.

Woah! This is brutal!
I can easily understand the frustration this gave/gives you. No one likes to feel they are being kept outside.. And in a relationship its kind of the deal you should include your partner. Can't speak for cancers on this, though.

Man.. The things people do to each other.
I feel you were badly treaten in the beginning of this problem..after bombing him with texts, not so much..but still..communication is so vital, and its sad to read all the threads in this forum, where respect for- and talking to each other would solve the case.
Human brain needs to step it up!!

Like I said.. be patient. Men and women solve problems differently
He'll come around when he feels better, then you'll show him your support.
Cancers always put family first, it's his mom having troubles, try not to make it about you. Give him space.

He blocked you and he told you to leave him alone. He TOLD YOU TO LEAVE HIM ALONE. you still messaged and then he blocked you. He is not a coward, he told you to leave him alone...... what else you need to hear?
he broke up with you and you acted like a crazy lady, I would be afraid of you....... sorry....
