Cancer man being wishy washy?

I have been with my cancer man for a year now. He has always been typical cancer. Retreats in his shell when mad, comes back as if nothing happened. We have a long distance relationship, although we both come to enjoy it, as we like the road trips to visit each other, and see each other quite often anyways. Everything has been going excellent recently. He tells me I make him happy, we have great convos, etc etc. Though, it has come to my attention that my cancer man is suffering some serious problems in life right now, but isnt super into opening up to me about it. He came to town this weekend, only to drop off the face of the earth. No one heard from him, including his friends, and myself. He said he wanted to see me, as per usual. Though we never got around to meeting up. He texted me a day later saying he was annoyed at how I was being rude again and impatient. (This is the first time he has ever come to town in a year and not seen me or his friends. He is a cancer and always likes to be the man of the town when he is here. He sent me a huge long text explaining how i was the bad guy ( as per usual) . I didnt even bother to respond, as I was quite pissed off. He texted me again asking why I had not replied. I ended up replying an hour later putting him in his place and letting him know I was super upset and did not deserve to be treated like that. I told him I understood he was having some personal problems, but I did not want him to treat me so rudely. Now he has barely even texted me since then. Maybe once, and usually we text all day everyday and are super cute and happy.

I dont know what to do, as I am stuck between being upset by how he treated me but also not wanting to give up as it has been a year and we have gotten through a lot when it comes to understanding eachother and getting better at communicating.

What happened that you both didn't get to meet up? How were you rude & impatient?

I was rude and impatient apparnelty because i was being pushy about seeing him and not giving him enough time to get his shit together. How does that even make sense.

Give him time & space if he needs it. He'll come around if he's ready.

He's just being 'a boy'. He has a serious problem right now rite? So he want everything to be his way (being a selfish-moody).

So, if you really want this to work between you two, give him time, but don't completely ignore him.
