a while ago, my cancer friend i got into this fight... my bad, really. the virgo analytical truth traits erupted.... and i said i was sorry. i still care a lot about her... and truthfully i never got into this horoscope stuff until recently... i think had i known this then, i would've watched my tongue more...

cancers seem sensitive to truth?

and cancers give off such a cold shell.... 😢.... i hate the ice wall..

i miss the other side... how do you get the other side to face you again?

my best friend is a cancer. totally all about emotional communication. it rubs off on me which is very good. i've learned a lot from her. but anyrate... just be honest with yourself about how you feel about your friendship with her and tell her. they are nurturing and like being needed for it. dependency is kind of their thing. let her know how it is that you appreciate what her frienship does for you.

Alternatively you could go to her with some problem. Sy you need her to help you and have no one else to turn to. An emotional problem would probably be best. Its hard to turn down some one in need.

=_= i told her when i did a 360 off the highway... but no response... not even an "are you ok?"

i guess maybe i hit too close to home...

do cancers just need loads of time to forgive?

Grab her by the shoulders and shake her while yelling 'Snap out of it! I said I'm sorry!' then when she's mad because you shook her you'll only have to apologize for that and she'll see how dumb the whole incident was... ah ha ha ha

Wait actually, yes kind of now that I remember. Well he didn't shake me but he knew I was mad so after I was done saying what I had to I walked off but before I could get to the door he ran after me and grabbed me and wouldn't let me go, then he took me to his bed and just held me there. That was a crab grip I tell you, locked down. Then he took the chance to talk and what choice was there but to listen? Well not willingly and I ignored him completely and didn't respond at all but I was so comfy that I fell asleep.

"Being a cancer man myself - If I need "Loads" of time to forgive, I probably will just let you go - you see, cancers are caring, sensitive, funny, nurtuing, but are emotionally built like a fortress, and will shut you out like nothing, and possibly keep you there.....and for good!

Forgiveness is not the issue - it's the forgetting, and the reminding, that keeps you kept a bay...trust me on this. We cancers are great folks, but if you think you will say whatever you want because you are angry or critical or whatever, think again - for you WILL NOT be able to backpeddle on this one, mi amigos! You will be set free -"

That was *very* well said, CB.

Best way to apologize to a cancer.lol. Sorrrry,is allll dat u can saaaayyyy. Words don't come easily. Forgivvvvee meeeee. Hmmmm being cancer forgiveness is tough. Especially we being so emotional when we get very deep in a relationship. And that is why we have a very tough exterior. and u know when people are treated good they tend to forget the persons feelings and pass u by at times. And if it is "love" i remember this qoute :U can give without loving but u cannot love without giving.

On one ocassion that my ex crab was mad at me I recorded a song that asked for forgiveness for him and he thought it was awesome. Another time I went to his house at 2am and wrote 'I'm sorry' all over the windows of his car 🙂 Then just for fun kicked the tire so his alarm would go off and awaken his neighbors lol I couldn't help it ha ha ha Then I ran to my car which was being driven by my accomplice (my sister) who still didn't know how to drive and almost ran me over when I tried jumping in the car lol I figured he knew it was me since I'd done it before so he could come out and talk to me lol Kinda like announcing myself 😛

Both cancer and scorpio need lots of time to cool off. Cancer is more likely to show hurt. Scorpio is more likely to get even. But cancer has always more to get upset about as they are very quick to react. Hence that label of extreme moodiness.

I agree with CB.... if it takes me a long time to forgive....it's because I'm thinking ur not to be trusted...ur on probation and I need proof of ur devotion over time, not one big effort but a long commitment to show your amends...most of the time this doesn't happen, so it's ba..bye...ur loss.

It sounds like you care a lot...I would not irritate by continuing verbage...just go for the quite and devoted actions...show that you care by what u unselfishly doo for him.

Good luck!
