I'm a libra married to a cancer male. Been together for 4 years. Marriage started to go down hill for the pass 4 months. After marriage I discovered afew really bad habits and one was stealing. It got out of hand sometimes. Stealing at work mostly. Tried advising him to stop. But he'll always push me away. Communications between us is never good. Last week, out of anger from his coldness and mood swings, I asked for a divorce. He totally ignored me. I tried talking to him about our marriage but he refused as usual and said he wants a divorce too because he wants to do whatever he wants and he is done. I told him I was sorry but he doesn't respond. We're still living together. What should I do? He is ignoring me. I give him the space and not talk about what's happening. How should I go about? It's the first time he is doing this. Help.

He doesn't want a divorce, been all through this last year with my cancer hubby, hes just hurt you asked him, let him sulk, you've apologised, he wont talk until hes ready, wont listen to you, stubborn as mules! I was desperate to leave him last year, really had enough (no joking) hadn't been near me for 8 years by that time, he did everything in his power to stop me leaving him when it came to the crunch.
Just leave him to sulk, read his moods, you'll know when he wants to talk, have a beer with him hell open up Š

Wow! Thats some amazing insight into living with a cancer man! Piscespoppy and Libracancer guess you need to help out the several women who need help figuring out these men. Maybe a new topic called "Married to a cancer man"

have been reading tbis forum to understand a cancer friend for a long time. Definitely given him the benefit of doubt but his behaviour is appalling! I thought this was limited to friends, girlfriends, partners and most the guys around here are cery helpful but it seems a tad bit selfish. Looks like things dont change post marriage either. Its not space or rejection, its them having their own way. This sounds like a rough ride!

Piecespoppy: he told me again today that he really wants to leave. And that he has been unhappy for awhile and he doesn't know why. He said it isn't me but its him. He doesn't know what he wants now. He told me if I think he deserve happiness I should let him go. I just stared at him while he talk, trying to take it all in. I broke into a million pieces hearing those words. I asked him if I've done anything wrong and that if I haven done enough. He said I've done everything and was very patient with him. Always by his side but he is still not happy and he doesn't know why and pushed me away and says lets talk again another day. I was speechless and couldn't stop crying. He still sleeps with me though. What should I do? I'm devastated.. ­­­

He feels not good enough for you because you don't like the stealing and made it clear its got to stop, so hes probably feeling a bit insecure, talk to him again in a couple of days, give him some space, be nice to him no matter what he says, and go about your businesses as normal.
My husband did this to me once years ago when we were first living together, wanted to split up, he said he would hurt me, he wasn't good enough for me bla bla, I was upset obviously, so wrote him a lovely letter pointing out all the things I love about him, how good we are together and everything, packed my stuff and left him, went to stay with my mum. 2 days later with no contact, I got a text "come home please" and he hasn't done it since.
I'm not saying this will work for you, but perhaps you need some time apart to miss each other, its the best way to know what you really want.

I totally understand what you're saying. We leave out of the country and we only have each other. There is no where to go u less he resigns and go home. I'm giving him space. I wrote him a couple of letters but he doesn't respond. My mum passed away afew months ago and I do not have anyone to go back to. She was my bestftiend, my mum, my confider.. My Husband has been the only one I turn to and now he wants to leave.. I'm lost and alone. Alone in a foreign land.. I dun even know where I can go.. Depressed.
