My cancer men recently ended our relationship. It was over a misunderstanding, false assumptions on both parts. In the beginning we were both very open about our feelings and fell for each other fast. Over time his openness faded and I became confused of his feelings for me and sort of closed mine a bit as well. We spent all weekend, every weekend together and I would go to his basketball games that were close enough to me (we live an hour apart). We would text all day every day, and I thought things were moving along great. I didnt want to push for more or try to see him too much as with other guys I've dated, that only pushed them away. I didnt know that by NOT wanting more time, my cancer man was thinking I wasnt interested and didnt want to be with him... I quickly reassured him that was not the case and I absolutely wanted him and only him. He wasnt going for it and said actions spoke louder than words, and he had seen me online with my status still stating I was single (like his) so I drove all the way down to his place and was waiting when he got home from work. Crazy I know! It worked tho, and by morning things were better. I went home changed my status and texted him asking to see him the following day. He said no (first time ever) that he was spending time with family and friends for a few days. I said ok and to enjoy his day. The following morning I checked to see his response to my status change but there was none. I sent my usual good morning text and his response was short. I asked if he was bothered due to the status thing, and why he didnt respond. He said by checking his page I was being too stalkerish and he was done for good. I reminded him that he did the same thing to me, and he knew i was no stalker, as he courted me for months before I gave him the time of day. He said respect his decision. I told him I would leave him be. Im devastated so I started reading about cancers to get a better understanding. Ive never wanted an ex back but I want him back so bad! I sent him a long message apologizing for causing his confusion and for my actions.I let him know in depth just how much I did like him and want to be with him, I acknowledged that even tho he stopped telling me his feelings, his actions told me plenty. Finally I said that I hoped his feeling for me were strong enough that he wont let me go so easily. He quickly responded further pointing the finger lol which I now take as a good sign. Whats he thinking? What do I do?
Need Cancerian Perspective Please
Thank you. So he responds to my messages immediately, which is a good sign, and I sent him a happy new year text, which he replied to immediately as well, short, but still a good sign. Im fine with being patient. I guess I just need reassurance that my patience will pay off. I hope Im not being pushy by trying to stay in contact with him...

It sounds to me as a lot of misunderstanding...Water signs tend to feel the same..it is so strange! It happens to me and my Crab and it has been the source of a lot of problems. Sometimes I feel he doesn't love me and I get insecure, only to find out he feels the same way about me...Two water signs are compatible but also too much water causes drowning often...
Pisces and Cancer are a great match because we are connected and bonded in a strange, spiritual way..but unfortunately Crabs flip and we fish end up not understandiing where we are standing with them. They want to end the relationship only because they want you to fight for them , and they will always come back if they love you.
My advice is to be patient..and to be yourself, to be honest and to know that these guys are just so emotional that sometimes they take decisions impulsively without measuring the consequences.
If you love him, know he will come around, the fact he is contacting you means he is interested and he cares.....

Thanks you two! I really appreciate it.. These forums seems to be repetitive about the shelling and needing time and space. The only difference is mine isnt and hasnt ignored me, and does respond right away. Short and a bit negative, but he hasnt told me to stop trying or that Im bothering him, so I will continue with my lil msgs every couple days and hold out for him to crawl back to me. You know, people are right, this site is keeping me sane, lol.

Hey Lou, sorry to hear of your problem.
Aquarius is sometimes kind of harsh about things, but I know that the optimist within you doesn't allow negativity to persist for long.
Keep in mind that crabs are s-e-n-s-i-t-i-v-e!!!!!!!!!!
You have to be careful when you get mad about stuff, because crabs get really upset and defensive if things get ugly.
My suggestion is just like Noosi.
Keep the discussion going, and encourage him to talk about his feelings.
Crabs have LOTS and LOTS of inner feelings that they keep bottled up inside, but they usually feel better when they let stuff out. While they are naturally inclined to keep EVERYTHING (even the most insignificant stuff) inside, if they are telling you stuff about their feelings then that is AWESOME.
Any kind of internal or deep thoughts that are expressed to you should be welcomed and received warmly, as it is only with people that a crab loves that they will talk to about this kind of stuff.

hm sounds like some people are forgetting one uncompromising thing that cancer men need out of their women, and thats a backbone! If a cancer man doesn't respect you or your relationship by easily tarnishing it like that, to hell with the guy. give him time on his own and if he's serious about you, he'll come back. until then, hold your position until he's had enough. if he does come back, do make sure you put him in his place yet make him feel desired..at the minimum he should be all over you. A lot of times if a cancer man is feeling unsure, it does help for you to explain yourself..but like he told you, actions speak louder than words..and at that point, you just need to go and claim whats yours (him), that'll reassure him more than anything else.
Ok well here's an update:
I texted him a few times and he replied quickly (short) but still... I waited a couple days then he initiated the contact. Then I went to see him last weekend and I was so excited but he was still being very cold, quiet and distant. I offered to rub his back like usual, and he allowed me. Then after, he laid his head in my lap so I could scratch it, which he LOVES! We had a great night needless to say, but the following day it was like I didnt even exist. Back to cold and quiet. I know from reading these forums and how it fits my crab to a T, so how do I get him to open up like he used to? He used to offer up his thoughts and feelings freely, I never had to ask. He's big on actions, and I notice his sweet lil gestures, but I cant help but notice the coldness. Still confused on his true feelings so I just want to approach him the best way possible.
Thanks for all the help!! You guys are amazing!
