Friends or… could it be(come) more?

Past two months me and my cancer ex have been texting occasionally, after being in no contact for 4 months. He initiates most of the conversation, say 8 out of 10.

He broke up with me because we argued a lot. I’d love to reconcile, I still love him and he’s a great guy. But I’m not in the needy or emotional state I was in when he broke up with me. My world would not end without him. I do however, want to prevent further disappointment.

As for now it looks like all we are is friends. His actions show that he cares about me a lot, he is attracted to me that’s obvious too. But I also know he’d be afraid to dive in back with me, as am I. There have been slight sights of jealousy, some flirting too. But he’d always re-compose himself again.

I don't want to continue being in contact with this man if there is no potential of the contact turning into something more meaningful.. and I'm not sure about his intentions.

I'd love some perspective from other cancers or cancer-knowers.

I'm a Pisces dating a Cancer female and we've had our fair share of arguments because we're both so emotional and both found it easier to run and hide instead of facing the issues head on. This lead to a couple "breaks" but one thing I've learned is she never strayed or looked elsewhere, she always came back and did as of this passing weekend after two weeks of up and down feelings.

So it seems it's true cancers don't move on very easily and I've read that when cancers think it's over for good, they don't come back. So I think your cancer ex may be longing for more but I would take it slowly.

..when cancers think it's over for good, they don't come back.

I'm hearing this for the first time, hope it's true.

whatever the sign, take it slow ... if it's meant to last you two will work it out

don't argue - be kind to each other and respect each other's opinions and ways and learn to compromise - it can be fun

become one in this big awful world and you will always have each other to come home too ...

As a Cancer, it is very hard to move on and 4 months is a very short time to say that he has moved on... for a Cancer. He probably wants to try again but maybe for the 2 of you to work you need to mature apart? I am in the same state at the moment. My ex and I still communicate but I feel we have to mature first or at least I have to mature first before I can be a better partner. Once you get back in the relationship and you are not ready, it will cause more problems.. Believe me. My ex and I tried twice already.. And now we are here.. More broken and more apart.. But still here lingering around each other. My ex is a Libra. Maturity and insecurities plays a big role regardless of the zodiac.
