So as some of you may know, we, cancers wear our heart on our sleeves.
Just briefly--feel free to ask for the specifics but not too long ago I decided to give my libra boyfriend a second chance after having him disappear for 3 months. I was a complete and utter mess when this happened because it happened out of nowhere, we planned a date but he never showed up or bother to call or txt me, he just disappeared. I didn't cope with it well because I felt used, worthless, unloved, disrespected but more than anything abandoned. Fast forward he sends a txt wants to talk we do and he said he wasn't ready for a committed relationship so he bailed. In the end I decide to give it a second chance and we both agreed to communicate more effectively. He said he wanted a committed relationship and was going to be 100% supportive. The relationship has been different I can see he is putting effort into it and we are more affectionate, in private, more cuddles and its more fun and happy. But last week he pushed back our date from Wednesday to Thursday. Now on Thursday he is a no-show and I am once again feeling abandoned and scared--"Really, again"--in my mind. I did receive a txt at midnight saying he left his phone at home and his job was going to take a lot of work and time so its "difficult to meet". Okay I get it shit happens--I replied back the next morning with basically acknowledging that stuff happens and letting him know I want to talk about it bc I truly do since I want this to work out but as of now I he hasn't texted or called. Now my question is when dealing with a libra guy should I just be straightforward and try calling or texting him again or wait?
I apologize if this is a long post but I haven't dated anyone just him and so I would love any advice or tips
do men do this a lot?

WHAT are you doing—

Did you have a shitty relationship with your father or something? What the hell are you doing??

Dude up and disappears on you, while you're in a relationship, and YOU TAKE HIM BACK? That tells him it's okay to treat you like a doormat. A pathetic, emotionally stunted, doormat.

You're being stupidly emotional and not thinking logically. Believe it or not, you WILL survive without this asshat. He's basically doing to you again what he did before, because YOU told him it's okay that he can treat you like that. He's an asshole and it's YOUR fault you let him back and now are suffering again. Figure your shit out.

You should be walking, not begging for ways to keep an asshole around. Go work on your self esteem, yo. This post is depressing as fuck. You're better than this.

Fucking Cancers... think they're gonna die without a dick in their hand. smh

Since everyone is posting quotes: When someone says you hurt their feelings, you don't get to decide you didn't. - Louis CK

Three months was a very long time. And now I don't know what Cancer women usually do, but as a fish I get the last word, then I cut bait. The end. He's gong to pull this business with you for as long as you'll have it.

Also, another old quote:

Fool me one time, shame on you. Fool me two times, shame on me.

Do what you're going to do but the collective agrees you deserve way better than this.

This came to mind when I read her post.

I seriously cannot understand some women's approaches to dating sometimes. It's pure insanity and illogical as fuck. Desperation does scary things. For as many cases where we see guys doing psyhological and emotional damage to women in dating, we see women doing just as much to themselves. It's freaking sad.

I'm a libra woman and the libra male traits are slightly different than female traits. Male libras are more-so cheaters where as female libras tend to be more loyal in relationship. I can speak for myself and other libras and generally when we ignore a relationship like this guy has done to you it's because we are distracted by something else, only you know this guy so you would have to judge what that distraction is (work, children, or another woman) and decide whether it's worth staying in. Another thing could be as libras we don't like to hurt other people's feelings especially someone who we see as a nice person so his no-show act could be another way of him trying to politely tell you that he likes you but he can't cater to a relationship right now. He may not want to tell you this directly because he doesnt want to hurt your feelings so he is hoping his no-show act would kind off give you a clue. Lastly libras are all about balancing our lifestyle so if he feels secure with the relationship he has with you but lacking security in let's say his career then he may also kind of neglect the relationship because he feels it's a secure part of his life and focus on securing his career. I know as a libra if I'm not happy or satisfied with one aspect of my life and I don't feel like everything is balanced I withdraw until I figure out how to balance my life all out.

I done a similar thing, as ashamed as I am to say. I just wasnt that into the guy (at that time), and someone I was with years before but we split due to him moving abroad and pursuing his career came back and wanted to marry me. Me in my fucked up head thought this was a fairytale and went along with it. I dropped the other guy without much explanation and just left...cowardly yep. Proud am I not. Karma did catch up with me.
