I dated a Cancer for nearly 5 years and now we're friends. So for the first 6 months everything was good, we were pretty much inseparable. Cancer men do not like communicating - I believe that is something that comes from age and maturity, the ability to communicate... Mine was very bad at expressing feelings (too shy, who knows) but was always very cuddly. I was his first real relationship too, I should note. He had this bad habit of putting other people ahead of me - like shitty people who would just use him because he was helpful and sweet. So that lead to us breaking up - which was tough. We both cried lol. Within 2 weeks we were back together and he then told me he loved me - that he had loved me just didn't know how to say it. He was cuddling me and said it to He was always very loyal, never cheated - but his lack of communication skills drove me mad.

He was my soulmate for a period of time, but at the end we were a bad match - we're still friends bc he is a good person. He just wasn't the right person.

Did he have and sag or aries placements?
Because this doesn't sound like your average cancer putting everyone else before a loved one.

seems weird,i'm a cancer and i put my loved one the 1st,always.2most important things in my life are my loved one,incl children i'll have and my vission,my dream,everything else comes second 🙂 i'll always be there for her ,i'll always do eveything i can in my power to make her feel better and to make her happy,it's like people say,the woman is but reflection of the man,if she's happy she has a good husband 🙂 i'd like to get a support and trust from a woman,ofc love 2,i'd like her to support me when i'm down and say that's it's ok ,there's another day ,i'll get what i want one day if i dont give up,nowadays woman always complain about their partner,how bad they do something,they judge,not understand,they scream,don't talk,they are constantly sayin bad things you shouldn't do,they lack understanding about the dreams,ofc not all of them,but many,same goes with men,they don't respect or trust a woman,goes both ways,the best relationships is when you can both grow and support each other,doesnt matter that your goals are different,if you udnerstand your partner and respect him,you support him,love him ,nurture him and love him,you get same in return,thats what kind of relationship i would like to have....full respect,trust,honesty,love and loyalty till the end,best to know doesn't matter how much you fail you go back home and you know you have support there which will always be there for you,ups and downs,i'm talking about career or some big goal you want to achieve in life,it's always good to know you have a person you can always relly on.I have a huge vission in this life and i feel like i'll do great,either alone or with a good woman by my side 🙂

No idea on his placements. He was born in Russia, has no idea about time of birth either. He was too nice to say no, and took me for granted. Typical Russian male-centric family, no expression of feelings - good relationship with his mom, respect/fear relationship with dad. He has always been blind to toxic people, I spent a great deal of our relationship protecting him. I may be Pisces but when someone I love (friend, etc) or myself is threatened, I react. Which he didn't understand - He thought I was telling him he was wrong or that his "friends" were shit (or that I was starting drama), in reality I can spot a shady motherfucker in a skinny minute. Lo and behold years later who has been right about everything - me. Poor Cancer lol. Even though he's learned, he'll still question my judgment lol. Men 😛

He's always been there for me though, and I've gotten myself into some shit lol. I bailed on a psycho Aries while in Puerto Rico with him and the Cancer met me in Chicago to drive my car back home.... Like I said, we are just a bad romantic match 🙂

I keep running into Cancers and Taurus nowadays... Bad cancers, good cancers - Bad Taurus, good Taurus.

Like any sign upbringing counts a lot. So to the OP - What was this Cancer's upbringing like. Does his family express feelings? Does he have a good relationship with them... Does he not, etc. All very important. Especially the relationship with the mom.

@SensitiveBlues -- I can better express myself through words (text, messages, letters) In person, my earth placements, make me terrible with emotion. I have a tough time verbalizing anything that would make me appear "weak" but I have no problem expressing those feelings through writing. AND writing out feelings helps keeps my temper at bay. I have a Virgo moon and I am Leo asc - so when I start rationalizing and thinking about something bugging me, it stirs that Leo temper lol. So with people I care about I avoid face to face so I don't go full bitch on them.
