So I'm a Gemini woman who is with a cancer man. We have been together a little more than a month. But moved really fast. We have said we love each other. We have an open honest relationship. On Friday we went to a friend of his party. There was this girl who was super territorial over him. Even calling him "her man" me being a gem, I wanted to put her in her place. But I refrained because it was my first time meeting many of his friends... He grabbed her on the nape of her neck. He was pretty intoxicated but I really didn't like that. . . At all. Would a cancer male be upset if I said something like "the way you touched her made me feel a little uncomfortable. " the way he grabs the nape of my neck feels like it should be a special thing. I got very jealous because I am so in love... Played it cool, but it's still bugging me..........help?

This is a trip to read. I'm a Cancer and my ex is a Gemini. I experienced nearly the same thing when I met his friends early on in our relationship. A female friend of his was super jealous of me and kept literally hanging on to him and really making me uncomfortable. My ex didn't try to do anything to put space between them either and it was hurtful to me and I let him know about it. He got all angry on me (he's bipolar) but we worked it out and his "friend" exited the scene because she couldn't handle the fact he was dating me. It's funny cause I chalked it up to him being a very friendly gemini who had lots of female friends. That wasn't the issue. The inappropriate touching and pulling me aside to tell me in private that my ex was very special to her and that she didn't want me getting in the way. Seriously creepy.

But this man's a Cancer. This doesn't sound like a Cancer move to me. My take on this is that he had this extra touchy buddy buddy friendship with this woman who may or may not have been only a friend and now you're in the scene and he's afraid to change the dynamics of his relationship with her. In some ways male/female friends can engage in a faux romance as a kind of consolation prize for being single. They give each other the support they aren't getting from a partner but then when one person gets involved it becomes awkward. This is why having good boundaries in these kinds of friendships is key to their longevity. You don't have to worry about this stuff if you never over sexualized the friendship to begin with.

Thing is you NEED to tell him how this makes you feel and find out what's the deal with this woman. He needs to know her actions don't make you feel comfortable. If he cares for you, he'll chill out and set some better boundaries in the future. Good luck!

Tell him! Because if the tables were turnt he wouldn't hesitate to tell you. You??d probably still be wiping your tears when he's done with you, if you did that. They can be very jealous but wont admit it if their life depended on it, but it will show. There's no hiding it. If he gets mad about you telling him, he??ll get over it soon enough. I doubt he??ll get mad though if he truly cares. Just don't come at him eyes rolling, neck snapping, and cursing and you??ll be fine. I must warn you though, when these men feel attacked in any way, or if they feel you??ve called them on their b.s or pushed their back against the wall, they will either run and hide, or worse, they become defensive, and then run and hide. Leaving you feeling like you did something wrong. In his mind: Mission accomplished. lol
