Are cancer men different in relationships with a cancer woman than they are when with other zodiac signs? I have read posts where some would say that cancer men are needy, emotional etc. I have a friend who is with a cancer and she would tell me that there would be times where he would cry and pour out his feelings to her, but the only difference between her and I is she's the type that has an "I don't care attitude" and I am the total opposite what is that about? It seems like the cancer that I am with is from a different breed (lol), he seems to be the total opposite, he doesn't express feelings, he doesn't show a side where he's needy; I wish he was a bit emotional and expressive because it would help me to know what's going on inside of that head of his. He seems to be a mystery to me, no matter how many questions I ask he always seems to be beat around the bush resulting in him not answering the questions that I have asked. I am a cancer as well and I seem to be the one with the emotions, expression of feelings, and the needy one however I pull myself back a lot because since he's the opposite it makes me feel a bit uncomfortable so I try to be cool and laid back like him pretending like I don't have feelings. What could it be? I'm thinking perhaps this will take some time, so I am just waiting patiently.

Come on cancers help me out on this one.

Welcome, Arielle.
My very good Cancer friend/love interest is the biggest mystery I've even known in my life. It is very, very difficult to get him to open up. Even if he's in a great mood. I've learned that only by expressing myself to him in a very direct way and then shutting up and waiting for his response can I get real information from him. Cancer men are not always easy. Alcohol helps 🙂
*ever known
It is SOOO bedtime 🙂

Alcohol helps a lot, for real. I'm more talkative, much more fun and open and a big goofball. And i'm also grateful for the alcohol. And grabby.
Ha, you hit the nail on the head one hundred percent; that is exactly how I would describe him when we drink together!
The only problem is my boyfriend does not drink (lol). So what else can I do. It seems like there are times when he would open up a little, then he would go right back in to his little shell. I have already opened up to him, however I have to hold myself back sometimes because it makes me feel uncomfortable expressing all of my mushiness (lol) when he doesnt. Ya know.
I completely understand. They make you feel naked, emotionally. And they watch you with a little smile, as you expose yourself (emotionally), and soak it all up, and then they sit there in silence for a while, and very guardedly reveal like five seconds worth of intimate details about themselves, and leave you hungry for more. Every time. I think it's just going to take a lot of time spent with him. Try to spend as much time talking to him in a relaxed environment as you can. Not in a public place, maybe somewhere quiet and secluded with dim lighting so everything is very non-pressured.
I can relate to how you feel!

Honestly I think he's a bit more open when he's at my house, because its more peaceful. When we are at his house he pretends like he's tough, at his house there are people everywhere the only time we have peace is when we sleep and that's not even that often. When he's at my house he's more cuddily, it makes me feel so mushy I just want to show him that mushy side so bad. But I am just waiting patiently until he opens up completely. I don't want him to partially open up, I want him to open up completely. He knows by now that he's safe with me, I am the one he comes to when he's feeling down or he just can't take it when he's having problems. I am like his safe haven. I do whatever I can to make him feel good, and comfortable and with hopes he will open up.
Good luck, I wish you the very best!
I'm actually working on trying to get my favorite crab out of his shell at the moment...it's an art form; it is my mission to perfect it.
It's tough, I know. My sympathies. I wish these guys would be just a bit more expressive!
Update us as things progress. 🙂

Well guys I must say that for the last three days there has been progress. My boyfriend has been staying with me and my place for the last few days and I have noticed that he?s talking (wow). We spoke about so many different things, even things that I didn?t know and I must say that I feel better because I know what?s going on in his head. I know that when he?s at home he can?t be that way and tells me it?s hard for him to express his feelings because he doesn?t want anyone to think he?s a girl. I never realized how kind hearted he was, until he started talking it made me realize he?s just as soft and pink as me and I love it. Things between us have been great and now that he has revealed some things to me, now when thing happen I can think logically instead of going overboard. Now I understand, and I am grateful. Thanks you all for giving me your opinions, it?s greatly appreciated.

Cancer men hold things in becaue they are afraid of judgement just like us cancer woman.... We show people what we want them to see for fear of rejection.... When they do come out and let you know who they really are make sure you never do anything to hurt their feelings and always show that you trust them... They are big on trust... Their definition of trust is not the same as the average person...

Too much alike...

Two cancers can be bliss when all is well but when problems arise it can get VERY bad....the psychological equivalent of a Chinese tongue-twister. Both may need deep therapy afterwards.
