Not able to connect....

Sup Cancerians🙂

This questions is mostly for the men but women can give input too

My Cancer told me tonight that he has a hard time connecting me (his new first family, me plus our newborn daughter) and his birth family (now his secondary family). He says that no matter how he tries he can't be himself when he is around us both at the same time. He said that he can be himself with me alone and he can be himself with them without me.

This puzzles me a great deal. A Cancerian thing perhaps?? or just his own quirk, lol?

He wants us to get married so this will pose a big problem if can't figure out to "connect" the two.

PS
Cancer men you all are still are number 1🙂🙂🙂🙂 Little something for the ego there.

I don't think this is anything to worry about. I have different approaches to different people I know too. Birth family is important but I think having your own family is something totally different and maybe even more important in some ways. I'm certain if I was in this situation i'd act the same way.

i don't think this is a specific cancer issue, just people and social issues in general. we're accustomed to adhere to certain group policies whenever we're in one group vs. another. the expectations (ours and the groups') are different and he may just have a hard time associating two groups when they collide. it'll just take time for him to get used to the dynamic; in this case, the conservative nature of cancer may play a role.
