He hasn't been hot and cold at all! He was unsure at first if he was ready for a relationship, he said he had been badly hurt a year ago and he had massive walls up. However, from our first date he continuously kept in contact, has kept plans, been honest and after two months forgot about his walls and asked to be exclusive. I feel insecure in general at times in relationships because of my own past. I'm actively working on that, but I read these threads and I was like "OHHHH NOOOO!" haha

It sounds like he is an ok guy who has been hurt.

If he has been as you say, no problem s.

As far as the horror threads....more often than not they're more a reflection on the OP rather than the guy in question.

The only advice I would give is keep on keeping on, and don't let your own insecurities get the best of you-that's where a lot of women (and men) start to screw things up.

I think when people behave badly in relationships and hurt you - it is often down to certain characteristics.

Like fear of vulnerability

Insecurity

Defensiveness

Jealousy

Those characteristics create certain behaviours in a person - and those characteristics tend to be pretty rife in Cancer men.

I just broke up with my Cancer and he was the best person in the world, but also so insecure, so afraid of being vulnerable, so defensive and unable to take criticism in a healthy way, so jealous and no matter how much you like someone if they are coming from that mindset it can be really difficult.

You're in the first month, so don't get too comfortable. Crabs can be incredibly seductive and sweet in the first few months or if they don't like you that much. When they fall for you hard, if they have deep seated fears or insecurities they may surface and then things change.

Fear you will hurt them, jealousy of every guy who speaks to you, the belief they are not good enough and you are going to let them down.

Like with every guy of every sign how they behave depends a lot on life experiences, maturity and how evolved they are. Sooner or later though you are going to have to deal with a hurt and moody crab and that can be tough, so read up and remember he is a lot more fragile than he appears to be.

Im gonna have to respectfully disagree with that. Sometimes, there is simply NOTHING you can do...they are too scared and self absorbed and sabotage their own relationships....sucks but its true. he sounds pretty good so far, just keep your wits about you.

I appreciate every ones insights so much. I've really tried my best to make him feel very secure and appreciated. Like gone above and beyond in that area. One, because I feel he should feel those things. Two, because I am aware of these tendency's. I do feel very sure that he does really like me. I was very concerned about the cheating threads I've read for my future and about them lying and what not! I wonder if us both having Venus in Virgo will make us critique the shit out of each other. haha I have Virgo in Mars and Venus. He has a Capricorn Mars though. Do lots of Earth placements help these mean have more stable and secure emotions?

All my best friends are Cancers (17 plus years), and my daughter. I love them.... Just never dated one. So far its been really amazing. No head games or push and pull. I was actually really surprised to read so much negativity. I did have a Scorpio friend who had a horrid experience with a Cancer man...he was a pathological liar and cheat... But that has more to do with mental health than Sun sign, i'm sure.
