So my cancer boyfriend is away working at sea. we email a lot as he doesn't have any internet. we broke up for 6motns 11 months ago because of distance. when we were broken up there was a girl that started to like him but he told her she wasn't interested in her. We got back together I'm moving in with him when he gets back from this trip. I talked to him for about 2 hours last night and i woke up to see that the same girl has mentioned on FB that it was so nice of chris(my boy friend) to FB call me, what a great thing to be apart of on ship bla bla bla see you soon and mentioned the month he was coming home.

What am i meant to think of that—? i talked to him for 2 hours everything was great were joking and talking about when i move in with him etc!!

you are not the only female he talks to.

Guys are not programmed that way til they are married then they cut off female friends.

You are not there with him just two hours on the phone he could've been on the phone with her a hour before or after you.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket dear.

My bf is cancer. In the past he has reached out to other females only when I wasn't giving him the emotional support he needed. Be sure to listen, support, and love everything he does/believes in, even if you don't agree with it. They'll seek it else if you don't.

And you wonder why Pisces women are considered door mats... Hmmmm

Such immature responses. Smh. I have sag rising, gem moon so I am far from a doormat @cancergoddess. There's seems to have been some misinterpretation of the message delivered so let me reiterate. I am very blunt with my cancer, too harsh for him sometimes, but he respects my honesty. A mature WOMAN supports her man in anything and everything he does without critising or doubting his beliefs (something I've done in the past). My message to OP meant to only be SUPPORTIVE. My cancer has only seeked attention from another woman when I wasn't giving him any (emotionally) or being unsupportive. By reading the OP's response, she didn't object to not being supportive or else she wouldn't be asking for further advice. So my interpretation of the situation was right. To rectify that problem OP, talk to him. Tell him how it makes you feel when he talks to other women. You also have to be mindful of the cancer's sensitivity. Libras tend to be more logic than emotional which to a cancer, can be insensitive.

I've seen this happen more than once. I wouldn't be so quick to blame her. Crabs look elsewhere for the emotional stuff when you aren't getting it right.

Kim, you just repeated what I was saying. As far as blaming her, not in my character because there's two sides to everything and we've only heard one.

TruePisces, why would you allow yourself to be subjugated like this?
Do you feel it is your destiny or something, to exist in such a relationship that your views, ideas, thoughts or feelings are of no perceived value?

It doesn't sound like a healthy, nurturing relationship to me

I wasn't subjugating myself to him because my cancer man looks for my views and ideas before his own. In my experience, if I disagreed with my cancer's beliefs he'd see it as me doubting his beliefs and not believing in him. So I didn't mean subjugate yourself. In a sense, you sometimes have to sit back, say nothing, and let the cancer man learn the hard way. Going against his beliefs would only make him feel as if you don't support him. You're cancer, you know this!
