@m143 are you back together with yours? Mind broke a promise to be that meant. A LOT and i called him on it, and instead of feeling bad he whipped out the. "this is why I cant be a good boyfriend. And should live alone for eternity" card, he always pulls that out when he hurts me..it seems like a real cop out to me. After saying he wanted to live with me?? Well which is it man?!?! Ugh!!

still no sign from him, and he's been ignoring me for 4 days. how long the max for cancer to hide in his shell?
I'm 8 days of no contact! Tbh I am taking the no contact as a hint, no longer interested! Just leave him be.

Selfish men!
i also thinking to move on, but when i'm looking back how much he cares for me when he was next to me, i don't want to let him go. probably i will look another thing to make myself busy and think that my cancer guy is going to the war zone hehehe
Not to worry! Im sure he will be back. Maybe not now or in a week, but if you let go now, he ll be back. Act cool then and ignore him back. Not a single word. It's hard, but just do it! If he gives up immediately you know it's just a checkup.
I caved & sent a message; sent a upbeat friendly message......response: nothing!

Washing my hands of it / him, & moving on!

Good luck to you all with Cancerian partners.

Kodak: Hilarious... Mgmt...what keeps you going back??
All the other times he came back. He felt bad how he treated me, he got upset, etc. But honestly before I met him my life was so boring and in a shitty place. I never wanted to get out of the house or try anything new. I'm much more open to new things now, has to mean something. I reached out a third and final time that I wanted us to be friends again. It's really hard to put my pride aside so hopefully my efforts aren't in vain but we'll see.

How's yours?

Yes we are back together. hahaha. If he said that, comfort him. - it's just he was feeling guilty of what he had done to you. My man always says like this * honey, you deserve better and it's obvious im not*

so I replied.. then leave me alone. He replied back Goodbye M. I said Do it. then he replied... leave me alone M . lol 😆. It's funny how he twisted when I threw him out.

I think we, as women, we have to take care ourselves first before these cancer men. Mine is whiny. He kept talking. He is rude everytime I broke up with him. But then again he is humble

and asked apology after break up. sending me bunch of voice messages how sorry he was and his actions and how sad and guilty. sometimes I am numb. really.

I just roll my eyes and says ahh ok. whatever. lol

yes koniucha, my man went to Mars for almost a month, 27 days actually. so i initially contact him everyday, no reply but he read my messeges. until one day i stopped my messege to him. i was enough of it, so enough that i almost let him go and gave up. till one day he showed up (the 28th day) appologizing, saying that he was away and too many works to do. the next day he still replied my messege again, saying he will be busy until a few days ahead so he cannot talk to me. then POOF, day 3 he vanished again....until now. but well, i got my alarmed already and this time i can handle it. just have fun with my friends and keep busy with work to distract my mind to think of him 🙂

As a Cancer, sometimes we check in because we honestly do care about the person, want to see how they are, but have trouble understanding how that could be confusing the person. We may not necessarily want a relationship, but we want to keep contact. Though, it doesn't necessarily mean we are off seeing other people either. It's selfish, and when people call us out, we often say "but I care, why can't I just know how you are?!"

I would honestly not reply every time. And also, there could be potential his mind may be with others and he just wants to check you will still reply to him and he can charm his way back. I would say Cancers are very good with the whole innocent-charming our way back.

Awwwwwe... I love...LOVE! He cares and that is awesome!!! I haven't updated my status in 3 days and I think he's waiting to see if I'm in a good mood to reach out... The last time as soon as he thought his final chance was closing in he reached out. I hope it's the same this time once I decide to update my status. Just not doing it on an emotional level. Waiting to really be clear headed even though he's been subliminal posting which he had calmed down from doing now. In any event.... Soooooo happy for you!!! Ugh I really love it!

Thanks for this understanding! I think if he reaches I may still do the 30 days no contact rule. Or maybe answer and see if he wants what I want and if not.... Really be gone and never respond again. But if he never does, I won't hold my breathe.... I'll move on.... Been staying away to cleanse me anyway. Once I resurface I'll be half way done and that's when he normally corns back. But if not.... I'll be fine.

Camp 2 Loser Cancers use attention as a weapon to manipulate a potentially romantic interest. It is both unhealthy and childish for them to behave like this toward a mature and healthy human being.

Camp 1 Cancers never behave like this, and are sure to provide honest and open communication with others when they are receiving it.

There is a very distinct difference between the losers and winners who are born under this sign, and communication style is often the difference between the two.

The losers prefer manipulation and bullshit, whereas the Camp 1's do not.
Thank you for this ❤❤

you should trust your instinct, that what makes us women can stand so far. you should know, when my man went poof for 27 days i felt like my whole world was broken into pieces, but i knew deep in my heart that he still cares, on the other hand i felt like maybe this is only me who wish that he still cares. so i only gave it a try and followed my guts. if i felt like i want to contact him then i gave him news, if not then i didn't. good luck with your love one shaniajam, you can do it

You know you are the one that has said the thing that made the most sense to me.... You and only you feel the emotions with your certain cancer. We come here for advice but deep inside I know what I feel and I know how he feels. I want so badly to just send him a message that everything will be ok and look no further I'm all he needs but I know it'll come off clingy. If he ever comes back... I know exactly how to treat him. Third time is a charm. He said he loved me... I believe him. He took a long time to tell me. Also, he's always been the bad guy "the player" and he met me and has changed. I know he is struggling with the influence of others. And stress in his life. Some wouldn't put up with it.... But I know my past and it wasn't squeaky clean. He accepted me at my worst when he could have moved on. I know he cares. I'll wait but in 30 days I have to be happy too. I just hope he comes back before then. Thanks so much. You gave me hope. It hurts but I'll wait.

He will come back before those 30 days. Trust me, they cannot let go if they care for you. As long as you haven't pushed it too far in making them feel uncomfortable (even then, they come back).

You said 'I know exactly how to treat him' and 'that he needs to look no further'. With a cancer some might be very good in giving you the feeling that you are the one that can handle them best. They turn to you when things go wrong, they hang out with you a lot, they tell you all. Thing is. they have a lot of other people who might have the same thought.

You think you're special, but honestly they are sooooo good in connecting emotionally with others, that all other people think they have a special spot in their hearts. You will find yourself building so many memories, good actions, good records, being there for them through good times, bad times, knowing you for so many years, been through good happy times and through all the lows and at the end..... they meet someone for one day who they feel more emotionally connected with and then poof! that person might hold the same spot or even a better spot than you. There's no such thing as you are all that he needs in some Cancer's eyes. Your definition of what he needs, might be different than the definition he feels of what he needs.
I know exactly how to treat him... It means have my own social life and not be clingy and do me... I could care less who he he's a connexion with anymore and the next cancer I find i will be the same. See his feelings affected me and Changed my happy go lucky self into thinking of him too much and being all into him then poof he's gone...that's what I meant by I know exactly how to treat him or the situation I should say. As the days go on... I'm getting more and more in tune with me.... I haven't updated my status in days and according to his statuses he's been waiting for something or so I feel.... I'm gonna make sure I focus on being happy again.... This time I know exactly how to treat him. Because if he truly cares and love me I don't have to give him my all for him to know that I've been there all along.

Its his theory..makes sense sometimes. Thanks for all the insight and info guys...@missgemmi I know it can feel that way..mine bears his soul to me, but I KNOW I'm one of few. He acts charming and carefree to others but I know the real him. Go with your instincts people..i wish crabbycrab was here cuz he gave the best advice. They're scared..they do the sideways dance, mine tells me hes scared all the time..but it took months to get there. And I'm at the point now where if I don't hear from him for a while I don't worry at all. I know he'll be there. Sometimes they seem manipulative, but no one can manipulate you if you don't let them.
just remember fear, doubt, anxiety, insecurity and not wanting to make the wrong decision rules these crabs. They need reassurance and they need to be sure. Be strong confident independent and carefree...

Well I hope mines come back... Day 3 and I so want to update my social media status. I don't think he cares anyways. In fact I don't know what he thinks. I'm just continuing to stay MIA for a couple days. And continue to do me... Does it hurt? Hell yeah! But Taurus won't show it ŠŠ
Oh no. so what is your plan? Continue your relationship or not?

If you want to work it out. Send msg or Call him. Make sure he knows what you feel. Rock the boat. Don't be too comfortable allowing him just to ignore you.

I'd better get an honest answer than playing tom and jerry. cancers afraid of rejection so used it against yourself. Tell him everything.

Mine when he goes MIA I count 1-3 days.

then day 4 is my preparation. Day 5 - I declared war.

When two lovers fight.. trust me it's for good. You will know everything what he thinks about you and vice versa.

bloobaz,

😆 😆 😆

But I always win him back because of his non stop apology and poured out his hurts and disappointments.

He said M, I was sorry I didn't know that's what you feel when I ignore you. I was just busy, I am not trying to ignore you and be distant with you. I was just busy. Your emotions affecting me a lot and I am holding you as you are about to walk out and move on. I love you,really. Yes you are right I am a talker and not doer. I don't have other woman just busy here honey. Please let me explain...

If I don't do what I talked on here. I maybe contradicting myself. Hell has no fury like a scorned woman. lol. I am glad I talked what I feel. ''🙂

Sometimes I prefer talking to people, rather than seeing them. I have to emotionally prepare for it, mentally prepare for it and it takes too much work, so I just restrict it to impersonal means of talking to the person. I also talk to people when I'm bored, but I have no intention in seeing them, I'm just really bored. So... yeah.
I don't know what's up with your guy, but this is what I do, but I also do this to everyone, either if I'm in a relationship with them or not, but I hate it if someone does that to me. I guess I'm selfish.

Haha I'm day 18 of no contact! And I'm sticking to my 30 day no contact! If I hear nothing at the end of 30 days, bye bye crazy crazy Cancer B O Y!!!
You actually sound crazy limiting yourself to this game.
After he spent the night with me, he vanished for 10 days, so I reached out to him. He initiated contact for 5 days & he hasn't been in touch since.

I'm not chasing a man, that's not me or is it a trait to be proud of. With what happened & what was said, I'm leaving him to deal with it in his own way, give him space. Nobody likes being suffocated by a nagging / whinging / clingy individual as that's not me or a picture I wish to paint of myself. Yes not talking to him is killing me but we've got our own lives to live. I also believe if this guy TRULY was interested, he would have been in touch LONG ago! Each day that goes by with no contact from him makes me feel he really was just trying to use me for sex, & I wasn't prepared to be that girl.

And I'm not crazy, I'm just a woman with morals & a life that doesn't revolve around men 24/7! Life is too short for all that crazy cray stuff!!

No problem.

I don't sugarcoat, I just say it how it is.

It's been hard to move on, I still have the urge to reach out and it's been WAY longer than 30 days(try 4 months). Sent three texts got no reply. Thinking about texting from another number, he most likely blocked me..but trying my best to move on.
