I only dated one crab in my life.

It felt comfortable from minute one, he made my highs higher and my lows lower, the only reason we broke up was because he kept talking CONSTANTLY about his female best friend and as a Scorpio I couldn't tolerate it no matter how many times he assured me he didn't saw her "that way".

Now we are trying to be friends, or at least I'm trying because he keeps flirting with me no matter how many times I say I see him only as a friend.

Awww, that's too bad! Cancers can't help it....we talk about the people we care about to others, and sort of gush about them. I'm sure he does the same about you to his friends and family. I've had friends get jealous like that, because I was talking about other friends a lot. I don't get the jealousy thing. We have big enough hearts to include everyone we care about.

But CONSTANTLY?

I drew the line when he talked about her after sex, still naked on my bed... And even then he was super surprised why I kicked him out and broke up with him.... Not okay on sooo many levels.

Anyway that's in the past now, let's see if we can work out as friends.

Yes, seemingly constantly. I wasn't even aware I was doing it until friends were getting jealous of my other friends. 😛

Doing it after sex in bed is another matter, though. That's taking it to social reject issues on what boundaries are, IMO.

Comments such as "she is beautiful but I don't like her personality" "she doesn't get along with women, I think they are jealous of her" "she is too superficial / parties too much / does a lot of drugs" or when I asked if they ever dated he would say "she had a boyfriend" and then "her boyfriend was abussive to her" or when I got mad at him because of this he would still defend her (when I never attacked her).

I talked with him about this a million times and gave him a million chances only to go back to square one until the bed incident happened.

I get your point about talking about friends, I do that too, they are important parts of anyone's life but this.... wasn't that case.

Scorpio woman with a Cancer boyfriend here.

It's a funny combination that I think needs work to get off the starting post if the woman is the Scorpio -I actually think it would work better the other way around.

His insecurity came as a surprise to me. He seems to cool and collected and almost arrogant but deep down he is really insecure and needs so much time and reassurance. His slow speed and weird habit of disappearing infuriates me and threatens my affections because i feel cast aside and ignored sometimes.

That said we seem to instinctively understand each other and the magnetic attraction is so strong I think it's almost fait accompli that we will be together permanently. We have a lot in common. A shared emotional nature, shared intensity, shared moral values, shared fear of vulnerability, both loyal, both family orientated, both a little misanthropic, shared humour, shared kindness, shared combination of strength and gentleness and just a natural affinity with the other.

The physical and mental connection is other wordly and wonderful. He says I work him like voodoo and had him under a spell from day one that he has not been able to fully understand or escape from. From the day I met him, I could not imagine wanting anyone else.

We are not without problems. My sharp tongue can hurt him deeply. I like to talk about stuff and he hates confrontation. He is crazy jealous over every man I speak to. He is very negative and I am more of an optimist. Strangely all the things we should hate about the other one are also the things we somehow enjoy and love.

I do HATE the silent treatment - I mean, I hate that with a big, fat H. I wish he would not do that, it drives me crazy but over time we are learning each other. The sheer passion, connection and affinity is wonderful and there is so much genuine caring, affection, love and admiration of the other.

I think he is the best man on the planet and I know he feels the same - yet he seems all my flaws and thinks they are cute and vice versa.

What is interesting about the match is that we both work at it. We both somehow make allowances for the other one that we would not make for anyone else. Like I seriously do NOT like the silent treatment or the treading on eggshells or the economy with the truth but with him, I effortlessly forgive because I know his soul and I want to be around him. He forgives effortlessly also my sometimes volcanic moods and childish outbursts of emotions and always sees my passions are a sign of how much I care. We don't fight dirty because we both see the best in the other one.

If you ask me what the biggest threat to our relationship is, I would say it is the silent treatment, which I worry might cause me to tread on eggshells with him and I do not want that. He would say it is his jealousy, which he has admitted makes him just feel flashes of rage at even the thought of me having a male friend

Go with your gut instinct. He's just not the guy for you.

I think it can be very nice or very trying and it really does depend on the dynamics.

A Scorpio woman and a Cancer man seems tougher in my eyes, speaking from experience with my ex.

I feel like the majority of the issues we faced came a lot from me being too intense, impatient, and steadfast while he was more meek, moody, and unsure. This is something I could not understand. I needed someone with a little more power and him, someone with a little more passivity. This would probably go over easier in a cancer woman-scorp man relationship. He'd be more forgiving. Otherwise, I feel like it would be easy for a Scorpio girl to lose respect for him and her sense of security this way.

But some highlights are definitely the cancer's willingness to please and provide and the scorpions dedication and loyalty. To this day his remains the kindest most gentle soul I've ever met, and if that's enough for the Scorpio girl it should be fine.

I always read this is one of the best matches. I think if I were more mature and patient and he were more confident and able to control his moods (which i had little patience for) it would have worked. That created a lot of issues between us, and it's generally hard to get over that loss of respect/ patience.

But i do feel like even though scorpions can be the same, cancer is a really feminine sign and may work better with a Scorpio male pairing.
