Posted by aeleogirlMight be his Saturn return then. My advice would be to keep talking if you think you can handle it. But keep your emotional distance.

I am 27 and he is 24

.... he said we just need to let each other know when these issues are bothering us or if we are having bad weeks and stressed and need space and the other person needs to accept that and not take it personal (HE brought this up).

Posted by aeleogirlIt's only been a couple of months.
I have been seeing a Cancer man for a couple months.
Posted by P-Angelhe has been in a bad mood so he has been venting and telling me all about his days but is that wrong of me to be doing then? I guess idk how to give him space AND be there for him at the same time... I mean I know Cancers don’t always make the first move so idk what to do just not ask to see him until he does, still talk to him, not talk to him? All this when his words/actions in person doesn’t match up with his words over text and HIS own confusion is just really throwing me for a loop and confusing ME. Its like one day he wants a full blown GF and the next he doesntPosted by aeleogirl

Since he is the one telling you that you need to stop taking everything so personal .... then don't you suppose that you should heed that advice?
He needs space, and you're not giving it ... that is what the above says.
You continue to tell us that he's still initiating contact, cuddles and respect to/for you .. he has not failed to keep you a priority, according to everything you have already testified to.
the only problem here is that you place more meaning to everything he does .. which is typical for insecure girls to do.
I honestly don't see anything he's done wrong, according to what you've said here. I do see you trying to smother all of his gestures with irrational expectations.
You even go so far as to say, "I can't just act like everything is fine" ..... which means you are completely intolerable to him, considering the only thing he stated to you was a fear that he might have to move away.
He can't even fucking talk to you ... without you running to other people to bitch and play victim.
The only thing I see wrong here is that you're too demanding and controlling.click to expand
Posted by KoniuchaOh ya that is true you said 29Posted by aeleogirlIt depends. It affects us all differently. Some in a good way, some in a bad way. But he is too young for that anyways.
koniucha...that usually when people are aloneclick to expand

Posted by P-AngelI guess i have given him space and that lasted all of 2 days and he accused me not caring? And his action and words in person are totally different then over text.
He doesn't sound wishy washy in the least bit. Someone said that and you just ride her ovaries on it, because you're looking for excuses to continue being desperately insecure, without having to look at yourself.
He hasn't done anything wrong, according to what you wrote ... except get worried about the continuity of his relationship with you because he might move.
and you obviously have zero emotional control over yourself.
Sounds to me like the bad person in this relationship is you.


Posted by aeleogirlCancer men don't know what they want. I don't date them anymore because they'd say they need space. I'd give them all the space they want (I'm very independent), then accuse you of not caring. WTF? They will make vague statements then when you try to ask questions, they withdraw. So you stop. Then they get mad you didn't pry it out of them. Who's got time for that? I'm not begging someone to talk about something they brought up they don't want to talk about.Posted by P-AngelI guess i have given him space and that lasted all of 2 days and he accused me not caring?

But I'm projecting my own experiences here and that's not what your situation is about.
Honestly, since he doesn't know what his future holds, he's trying to keep it light. He might move, he might not. if he moves, he doesn't want any long distance ties. I don't think cancers do well with long distance, they like their significant other close and available.
My advice, be kind, reach out occasionally so he doesn't feel neglected, but in general let him set the pace. Wait it out and see what happens with his living arrangement. Then go from there.click to expand
Posted by truecapTrueCap I dont ignore him. idk guess i feel like we talk everyday and he just tells me his problems i want to be there for him but also stay strong for me
P-Angel has a valid point of the difference in space and ignoring. Space is allowing them their time, allowing them to do things without you. Ignoring is, well, acting like they don't exist. You can give space, but keep in touch.

Posted by aeleogirlThat's good. Glad you clarified.Posted by truecapTrueCap I dont ignore him. idk guess i feel like we talk everyday and he just tells me his problems i want to be there for him but also stay strong for me

Posted by truecapYea i guess idk where that fine line is im going going to ignore him but i dont want to give there all the time and have him just think i will be ther and he can have it both ways. i guess give him time to miss me but we just got in the habit of telling each other everything. so idk how to go about it. It would be nice for him to miss me and say it but again he is a cancer and they dont that oftenPosted by aeleogirlThat's good.

Some people think giving space means not reaching out at all.click to expand

I guess idk where that leaves me? He still texts me and tells me about his day and problems do I just wait and hope he opens up and talks to me about the letter. Or just cut ties?
