Cancer F & Libra M: Communication

Hi! This is my first post here at DXPnet.

I'm a Cancer female (born 7/2) involved with a Libra male (born 10/12) for nearly four years. We were best friends first, but then he began pursuing me romantically. At first, I was reluctant to give it a go as I didn't want to lose the friendship (plus, I'm not one to trust easily and didn't want to have my heart broken) -- but he was tenacious and I finally gave in. Best thing I ever did!

For the entire relationship, we've been long-distance (with him on the West Coast and me on the East), as we met through a mutual friend. Now that he's graduated college and is ready to begin a career, we're making plans to move in together and get married (with me being the one to move West).

In general, our relationship is rock solid. We're the couple that other couples are envious of. Strangers have come up to us to tell us that they've been inspired by watching us interact. We're still best friends, and that fact has allowed our relationship to grow on a strong foundation.

He's an artist, and I'm a writer and photographer. We joke that we share a brain because we have so much in common and are almost always on the same page about things. We gel so well that I have no doubt that he's who I'm meant to be with. My family adores him, and his family loves me.

I'm a HIGHLY emotional person -- and somewhat insecure, especially because we're long-distance, although he's never given me any reason to question his fidelity. Conversely, he's not as emotional on a daily basis, but he can be extremely moody and a bit flaky when it comes to time (i.e. getting ready on time when we have plans, etc.)

I often overreact to emotional issues and things pertaining to our relationship, whereas he's incredibly secure in the relationship and is more likely to overreact to day-to-day stressors. Thus, although he's a WONDERFUL listener in almost every way, when it comes to my worries about relationship-related issues, I feel as though he's not taking them seriously because HE isn't worried. This, in turn, leaves me feeling unsatisfied, because -- and only when it comes to this particular issue -- I'm not getting from him what I need, simply because he doesn't think it's needed. In other words, sometimes I need to hear something even if he believes it should be obvious and doesn't think he needs to say it.

In short, how can I learn how better to communicate with my Libra when I think something needs discussing and he doesn't?

Hello? Anyone? Hellooo?
