Long story short...I went to school with my Cancer man. Back in 2010 I set up a Facebook account and friend requested him. I hadn't seen him since school. He replies with a msg saying he had huge crush on me and wanted to go out sometime. We began talking/texting non-stop. After about 2 months and I had stood him up once, we finally went out on a date. We went out a few more times then I found out I was pregnant. Yes we were both stupid and drank and didn't protect ourselves but no regrets I love my little man. But while I was pregnant he wasn't around much. Come to find out, a month after I had my baby, he had a on again off again girlfriend.
She lives in a different city. Our son is now a year old and over the past year he refused to be with me and we had no kind of sexual contact with each other. He said he was afraid if things didn't work out that it would effect his relationship with his son. I believed him because it happened with his ex wife and his daughter. So we chose to remain just friends. I know he's seen his ex a few times over the past year but I believe it was just for sex. He's never committed to her and still hasn't.
Anyway, a few weeks ago I started seeing another man. Nothing sexual we just went out on a few dates so far. But all of a sudden my Cancer man is interested! Yes a big shock to me. I've wanted him and loved him for almost two years now. He said he's always had feelings but he's shy and doesn't want anything to interfere with his son. I've tried a million times to convince him that I'll never take his son away no matter what. That wouldn't only hurt him, it would hurt my son. We had amazing sex a few times, and as usual we had fun being around each other. He always makes me laugh and I love that about him.
The advise I need is: Is he only interested because I moved on with someone else or should I believe there's always been feelings on his end. Is this a game to get me away from the other man? What do I look for to know he truly cares and is interested? I know Cancer men can be confusing and I need patience but I'm so afraid that if I get the other man out of the picture then my Cancer man will no longer care. Anyone that has any advise please comment. Thank you
