I lived it and loved it.

They are sensitive to your needs and habits.

If he's a manly guy you can expect the gutters cleaned and the lawns mowed.

But also any household chores they are 'Sady the Cleaning Lady' and don't mind laundry or vacuuming - cooking together is important and enjoyable- make sure you have some beers handy or a good wine while you prep meals they love that too AND including the grocery shop trip beforehand 🙂

~sigh~ I'm a bit biased I'll admit it I love Cancerians

One tidbit of advice I have for living with Cancers (I've lived with two before) is that when it comes to their mood swings, you have to find the right balance between being gentle yet giving them a gentle push. The Cancer suns I've known will literately think themselves into a whirlpool of sadness, anger, and anxiousness and if you are too gentle with them, they won't really come out of it but you'll just become an insider who's by their side while they go through it. I have a Cancer bestie of 12 years who has always been like this and she will think herself into an emotional maze then get all stressed and frustrated because it's hard for her to see logic clearly and a logical conclusion is at the center of the maze but her emotions keep her from it. So you may often have to be the voice of reason in a gentle way that's firm enough to put a quick halt to a cycle of distress.

Cancer suns tend to need a lot of patience and positivity and sometimes you just have to give them space but be attentive to the type of vibe you're bringing around them even if it's nonverbal.
Yes my man is very moody.. and it's a lot to deal with because I feel like Pisces are moody as well. But for some reason I know how to deal with him and his moods sometimes I just start playing hard to get.. like you said be tough on them not too gentle all the time!
