well if you send him a letter you can have it set up to be verified
I sent it already, that he can't block, and I am sure he will read it because I am sure he is dying to hear me grovel!!

He probably blocked you because he felt betrayed by you talking about how well and good another man has been to you....sadly it may have brought back memories of the betrayal of his ex-wife and how someone swooped in unbeknownst to him....and broke his heart all over again.

This relationship is toxic and you claim to love him but tried to make him jealous. That makes no sense.

Not excusing his back and forth behavior either but you knew he suffered an ultimate betrayal by a friend and you played on his emotions.

He played on yours too because of his past. This relationship is toxic...find someone new who will be there for you without the game playing.

Thanks for your comments I appreciate them!!! Actually, we weren't a couple when I made him jealous, we were trying to get back together this summer and I wanted to take it slow and he didn't, we had a fallout over that and he went into ignore mode, came back and we would talk, and he would go into ignore mode on and off the last 2 months, he was still reading my messages the whole time but not answering me, so my getting him jealous was an attempt to get him to talk because I knew it would, he immediately heard the message and then said he wanted to unfriend me on FB, I called him and we argued for over an hour and then he blocked me, he usually just goes back to ignore mode, but this time he chose to block. He really had no right to get that mad since we are not back together yet but he did. He is scared of his own shadow, expects me to be there when he is ready to communicate again. He took offense when I asked him to be friends with me first,before we resumed dating, he took that as rejection, told me so, but I was guarding my heart and wanted to go a little slow. This is part of the reason he is mad at me too. My "date" with the other guy was a total platonic thing and I told him so, he has friends he has had dinner with as well that are female, and they are just friends from where he used to work. He just doesn't like it when I do the same.

You like the chase and like to be chased. He invited you over to hang out many times you said....and you rejected him because of your insecurities.

Leave this man alone you think you love him but won't spend time with him but you will send novel long messages to state your feelings.

You don't care about him like you think you do...life is short...if you really loved him you would have spent time like he asked IN PERSON instead of wasting it on FB.

You actually told him you spent time with another man before you spent any time with him...while professing your love for him....how foolish




Not trying to be mean...but you knew what you were doing lady.

I'm a Taurus too... so I sort of understand how you're feeling here and I also have had similar experiences with my Aquarius EX and current Cancer BF...

Now correct me if I'm wrong, BUT the reason you 2 haven't gotten any further (the real reason) is your both scared shytless of getting hurt again. And for awhile this online life was convenient because there was a "reason" you couldn't be together (divorce, living arrangements etc) so the chances of getting hurt were minimal. But now you 2 have no reason not to spend more time together except your scared to get hurt. You like him (or your drawn to him) because you by nature want to mother him, fix him etc. and your too stubborn to see that you cant do it for him... he has to do it for himself... your also drawn to his attention... you know he reads your messages and even tho he doesn't respond, you feel empowered that even tho he acts like he doesn't care, you know he does... you 2 are both obsessed with this fantasy.

Listen, this is one of those Cancers (camp 2 or whatever DXP calls it) who do not care to use emotional abuse to get what he wants and you've really got to open your eyes up to this and put ur foot down about it... its not worth your sanity...

Also, you are just as bad as he is for using manipulation tactics as well ie. "the date with the other guy" bit being thrown in his face.

Call it for what it is and move on... this relationship is definitely toxic, like others have pointed out. I can guarantee you if you hold out long enough he will eventually come back... you feed his ego way too much for him not too... but just be forewarned that he will suck you back into his nonsense real quick.

I will tell you he is definitely the poster child for immature Cancer males, I read that post by Moonchild and it was him all the way!!!
Yes, the much despised Camp 2 Cancers always disgrace the truly amazing Cancers.

Too late. I burned both camps down in the middle of the night on a full moon. It was an orgy of blood and fire, the screams were glorious, but there were no survivors. Both camps perished equally. In the ashes shall arise camp 1 and camp 2 pisces. They must burn, too. The sea goddess demands sacrifices. 😛

Reading this is like watching a really weird freakshow circus.

OP, all of your feelings of attraction aside, why in the hell would you want a man who didn't have a major interest in you until you got buff and lost weight? (congratulations on your healthy accomplishments, though). He sounds shallow!! Add that he has a double standard in how he can behave with others, vs who you can interact with, and that makes him controlling and possessive. Then he plays the childish social media blocking game, so he's also manipulative. I don't care how much chemistry is there, have some standards in your partner's character!

I'm curious, what was your ex husband like, character and personality wise? And how/why did the marriage end?

Guys I am 54, I never wanted to go back to the teenage crying and stuff, but that is exactly where I have been the last few days!!
Yea that was what I meant at that age. Never meant it in a rude way or nothing I was just shocked by both your behavior.

You're both codepent.

Put your big girl panties on.

Cut the chord and go do what's best for you which is leaving him alone..trust me he will notice your absence at some point and try to weasel his way back into your orbit.
Yeah we both seem to be addicted to each other, you don't hang on 3 years like this if you aren't!! And I HATE that i can't stop thinking about him, but likely he is punishing me and in a huge way. I could easily go over there if I want, but I am angry that he did this. I don't want to be forced to go and beg. He loves that!!! He always came around when I begged and told him how much i loved him, well this time he gets a letter, ONE and no more, so maybe he will thaw out when he realizes he is not getting the attention he craves from me! I can't give him that if I am blocked.
Sounds like a Scorpio moon
His moon is in Pisces and mine is Cancer

So you're a Taurus sun, Cancer moon and I'm a Cancer Sun, Taurus moon...my upside down twin lol.

How are you doing anyways..I'm checking up on you.

Please write us about your progress on this issue whenever you can or if you want to.

This is not an online life, we have had sex many times, we were together from Feb 2013-July 2014 , and then we continued to be friends on FB, talking here and there until March 2015 wen he started flirting with me again and asking me to come over and go out, I said no, not yet because I wanted to take it slow, after beng hurt with our break up, I am a Taurus, we have always had a great attraction, but I am slow and plodding and he is RIGHT NOW!!! When i said no he kept trying and then got to a point where he was feeling rejected and told me so. So we both put breaks on, he ignored on and off and I still kept sending messages and he would answer when he felt like it, but he always READ THEM!!! Like clockwork! He is the type that will punish you. Also during this time he suffered the loss of a dog that had cancer, and right now his mom is on her death bed and this happened the night we had the fight, but he said nothing to me, I found out when his cousin called me.

I fell in love with this man, the weight issue was not a huge thing, he was fine with how I looked, I only lost 25 lbs and started bodybuilding and went from looking good to looking awesome and he of course took notice, the truth is, he is insecure with my looks, because I have always attracted men, he told me when we first met that if I had other guys, he was done, he couldn't compete. Right then I felt it was because of his age, though we only have a 7 year difference I look young for my age. He is a jealous type, would stalk my FB so if I put up a new profile pic guys would make comments like you are gorgeous, etc.... he would blame me for that!!! The pic in my profile is from 2 weeks ago on FB,, you can see it is not provocative in any way,but he would get very jealous and would go into ignore mode telling me first I was seeking attention. Not true, I post pics of myself on FB very rarely. He can't stand any man talking to me.

My ex was very self centered, and had issues such as gambling and drinking so those addictions helped end my marriage, lots of financial probs because of him, personality wise?he had none LOL

So let me get this straight, you've been farting around with this midget for 3 years but never had a sexual relationship? Some seriously delusional behavior going on here girl.
We had a real relationship, awesome sex from 2/13-7/14 and started back again Mar 2015, but I refused to see him right away and that started the problem, we click, but if he doesn't get his way, no matter what, he thinks it is rejection, I have to always prove I do love him.

YourFavoriteDXPMember I kind of agree with some of that!! But he also is a bit damaged after his ex wife left him for one of his friends and so i think he has a hard time trusting. But he really exhibits Cancer traits, reading stuff about cancers has helped greatly in understanding why he gets like he does
Yeah, just keep your cool and try to date other men. I would not hold my breath waiting for this guy if I were you.
Real Talk

High five my Camp 3 Fish!
Yes, and I have brought you a gift, my Dear.

Hi crabriot!!! Things have not changed except I found out that he did unblock text twice, I think to chec if I wrote him, and then blocked me again. Also found that the night he went into rage, he had found out his mom is on her death bed, not expected to live through the weekend, he never mentioned a word when we were on the phone, just screamed at me, so maybe that had something to do with it. When he lost his dog this past summer, he did the same thing, except just ignored me, did not block, when he lost the dog he asked me for a little space, I tried to give it to him, but I wasn't good at it, and he got mad at me, so maybe because he knows what he is dealing with now, he may have cut me off so he gets the space this time, I feel he will be back eventually, because we are never done LOL and in 3 years we are also friends, so I am hoping he comes back eventually, I sent him a letter about his mom and let it go. His cousin called and told me about his mom.

You fell in love, but you're making excuses for his behavior. I get it, he's insecure. Insecure people end up behaving badly because of their issues. Sometimes it makes them abuse others, sometimes it makes them controlling, sometimes it makes them cheat. If your daughter or best friend told you about this situation with a man acting just like this Cancer, would you want her to keep going on with him?

I hear what you are saying but its easier said than done, I am cutting him slack because of his mom likely dying by the weekend, but when he does come back, and he always does, I am going to tell him I am not putting up with this anymore, if he wants me, friends first and see what happens or he can just go

so heres a rundown of what happened

you 2 met on facebook.

had sex for several months.

stopped having sex after a fight and went your separate ways but you still had feelings for him

a few months later hes checking you out again on facebook and sees you lost weight

comes back wanting to rekindle things and have sex again.

however you want to take a different approach and get to know this person through friendship.

he gets tired of beating around the bush, but keeps the window of opportunity open.

you go ruffle his feathers by saying you were hanging out with a guy friend who treated you better than he did.

he flips out and cuts off all contact

now you're on DXP
end of story

he probably feels someone beat him to the punch or another words another guy has got to you before he could poke around again(kind of like deflowering); killing the opportunity to score again. so he lashes out in rage at you by "punishing" you for the grief he feels.

also i think you come on too strong and the sex probably has clouded your judgement resulting in your over obsession, fantasying, romanticizing

as a way to get him back. i don't know, i would think if you convince him nothing happened with your pal, but he seems to have wounded himself pretty badly over it. i think you need to move on unless you like being treated as a possession

i also noticed the redness in your eyes in your picture

are you a lesbian?
