My Cancer man just broke up with me... over text. We dated on and off for 8 months and then finally a month ago made it official. We told each other we loved each other. The last month has been the best one yet, with minor disagreements. Then this morning we were going back and forth because I told him I was disappointed that he forgot our plans for today. Last night he was supposed to come over after work because I was feeling really down. But he blew me off. And today when I explained to him that I was disappointed that he a) didn't come over like he promised and b) completely forgot our plans for today, he suddenly says this isn't working and we both know it. It floored me. It was one little disagreement and he just dumped me. I told him I was shocked and that when I told him I loved him, I meant it. He clearly didn't.

I don't know what else I could have done for him. I gave him so much. Emotionally, financially and physically. He did the same for me, although honestly I did a bit more in regards to emotionally and financially. I just lent him money last week.. & suprised him with a nice belt I bought for no reason because I remember him saying he needed a new one.I give my all in relationships and I feel like this is a Scorpio thing, really. I wasn't clingy at all, before that I had not seen him for four days and it was fine. He was the one who contacted me first almost every day.

But how do I heal? I can't eat, I don't know how I'm going to sleep. And he won't even talk to me on the phone, let alone in person, about what happened.

Give it time he will be back there is probably more to this story than you are letting on. Fights between a Cancer and Scorpio are emotionally charged and they can be very mentally draining for us Cancer guys. Yes Cancer guys can be insensitive which is not good when a Scorpio is in a close relationship which makes her feelings hypersensitive. It can be walking on eggshells with Scorpio women.

Let a cancer man process his thoughts we make rash decisions when we get in fights we do a lot of mud slinging saying stuff we don't mean. You Scorpio women have everything prepared because you are stewing on what you are angry about when you do lash out it comes out all at once. His quickest solution was to cut you off now he's giving you the silent treatment till he makes up his mind. He knows damn well he's mind phucking with you, Scorpios obess and worry about everything.

My best friends a cancer and your best bet is to ignore him like he never existed!
This gets to her the most. Her ex broke up with her at the beginning of the year and didn't even have the respect or decency to reply to her messages. Being made to feel irrelivent to a cancer I think is the worst thing you can do.
Don't contact him, disappear for a week from all forms of social media and then suddenly look like your social calendar is brimming. Go out a lot to parties, dinner with friends, fun runs etc and upload photos. He will wonder why you haven't contacted and then see all the fun you're having and suddenly start to feel like you aren't effected and that he meant nothing to you.
In the mean time you need to decide if you really want this guy. I'm going to say it's only your ego. You can't understand why he doesn't want you anymore and this is killing you but do you actually want him? And before you answer that, think to yourself "do I not deserve someone better then a guy who will discard of me at the drop of a hat?".
If you ignore and get on with your life and he see's this, I Garuntee he will come back and based off of your answer from my question, you decide if you settle for that behaviour or find yourself someone more deserving of your love!

The stuff he said is unforgivable in my eyes. He has to have meant it because there is no going back after this. "The relationship isnt working out. We both know that. Its over between us."
Then when I asked him to call me and that I was shocked, didn't just a few days ago he told me he loved me? He says "Stop bullshiting urself. This doesn't have to be a big deal. Lets be adults about it. We know the shit isn't working so lets acknowledge that and move foward. Thats all the closure u need."

And then he went on to ask what did I like about the relationship then? And I said just being around him, having him by my side, even when we had some diaagreements they were okay because it's healthy from time to time (as long as it's not over every little thing and there is no name calling) and he said "I don't buy that." So what do you do then.
Then he obsessed about why I said "forget going to the movies" that was our plan for the Sunday. I'm wondering if it's cause he thought that was me throwing in the towel? I explained I said that because I didn't want to go with him that day anymore because I was hurt aaaaand he never even mentioned a desire to go.
I'm so done though. Off the roller coaster

You punished him with words so he punished you with absence.

Sometimes we just don't give a fuck when someone ridicules us.
She didn't punish him. He was inconsistant, she called him out on it. He withdrew to his Crab shell.

"Boo hoo she hurt my pouty feelz."

Imagine constantly having to walk on eggshells around that. She's better off.

^^^ all the above posts are awesome advice. Nothing to add here. This is why I don't don't Cancerian men or heavy Cancer placements. It's a no from me.
I have a cancer moon so a cancer technically should've been a match right? Hell no

I can totally relate to your feelings and hope you'll get better soon. Don't let this guy hurt you even more by not eating because of him! You deserve much better...
I dated a cancer man for a while, who was always hot and cold and eventually I had to let him go. Being a scorpio I always give a lot of myself when I'm in love. And it's really painful and confusing to find out, that one of a sudden his feelings cool down or are gone for no evident reason... We scorps have really intense emotions and feel deeply. I think therefore we get hurt easily, but it also makes us strong. Try to forget him and move on. I know it's not easy, but he didn't treat you with the respect you deserve. Sometimes I think we scorpio girls are too nice to cancers, because we think they need to be treated with care and that they feel and think as deeply as us. But in the end we are the ones getting hurt.

I walk on eggshells around my scorp sometimes.

It's like cancer and scorp can kill each other when they are angry. I think scorp holds on but cancer just distracts themselves with external happiness.

External happiness is when ppl think we are in a shell. We are just not into someone being negative so we go have fun.

Also scorpio likes to feel their feelings and obsess over them. Cancer tries to purge their emotions but in private. It's two separate thought processes.

Everytime I've broken up with a guy etc. I've always just done something to make me happy.

Op should find external happiness, not look to a man who won't pay attention to her feelings. He doesn't care because he broke it off. Why waste energy on him.
your libra moon makes you more detached than others, so its easier for you to say.

but its good advice.
No I'm 32 and have grown into understanding how I actually feel.

When I was younger I fell into depression over rejection. Now that I'm older I realise it isn't the end of the world.

Okay so you don't actually want to know what he's probably thinking.

I'm not dating a scorpio. I'm married to one.

You clearly don't want to understand the cancer/scorpio dynamic.

Aw thank you 🙂 I'm sorry that happened to you. After a lot of reflection I now know I'm much better off and you are too. I used to date a Taurus and an Aries and am still friendly with both of them... I just thought being a fellow water sign it would of gone a lot better.

First off, you said you two were on and off for eight months.

...you're shocked this didn't last a month being "official?"

Sounds like he snapped because you were harping on him. Either way, be glad this is how you found out how he deals. Move on the best you can. And stop with the dramatic "I can't eat" bs. Simmer the hell down and go find some Ben and Jerry's. Get those endorphins going to help you calm the hell down. You two obviously weren't that hot on eachother if you were on and off again for 8 freaking months and only serious for a month. This is high school shit right here.

The situation sucks, but I can't help but think there's more going on than you're telling us. Cancers don't just suddenly flip out for no reason. They can be emotionally draining and ridiculous, sure, but they just don't do it out of the blue for no reason.

Sorry you got dumped, it sucks, but you'll survive. Learn from your mistakes, learn from him being a weirdo and move along.

Yeah I really shouldn't of let it go on and off like that. But there isn't more, he really did just snap. It's partly my fault, I should of known better. He's told me before about his previous two relationships and they were also on and off. I guess it's normal to him!

Try to move on and not to worry. Trust me I know it's easier said than done, but focus on you.

Cancer men are selfish, I've found. They usually come back around sooner or later. May even be months later. In the meantime you can't wait.

Especially in the manner he is leaving things, he might come to his senses after some time apart and realize what he's done. Doesn't seem like there is closure here and that will be needed at some point.

@alicialicia- alittle confirmation about the people we care about and the things we do for them in the process.. alittle feedback without criticism is helpful in a relationship. If there is always a closed mouth, two fixed closed mouth won't get better. I like to know if something is not right so I can improve. If I asked did you like the movie, then answer honestly. If I keep asking confirmation though there's something wrong.

Time and energy on someone who won't give u what u want in a relationship?

You'd suffer even more if the push and pull continue.

Like I said cancer/scorpio can be tough. It takes a tonne of emotional understanding and patience.

I live it.
I know what you're saying. There's just better ways to express it to someone whos in her state of mind. Water moon, remember?
True but this is how I express myself literally.

Whatever tone ppl ascribe to it, is their doing.

It's "should HAVE." "Should of" does not make sense in any way, shape, or form.

This crap has spread like the plague and makes my brain want to melt. You do know that "should of" makes no sense, right? Why use it?

/ grammar moment.

Why did you feel the need to make it "official" with someone who's so freaking flaky? Are you that desperate to be in a relationship? You Scorps act like you'll fucking die if you aren't paired off. Grow a pair emotionally. You'll be okay.

I tried to not use this as an excuse for how he acts but maybe it explains something. His mom died when he was 6, his dad disowned him and grandma who raised him wasn't good to him at all. He had aunts and uncles but he was largely on his own, hanging out with his friends and doing whatever he wanted.
No... you're using it as an excuse.

Even if this is a source of his issues, why do would you bother to use it as a get out of jail free card for treating others like shit?

He is the first guy I've ever dated who acted like he couldn't care less about our relationship and made me feel like I was nothing. I saw him in person yesterday when he gave me back some money I loaned him. He promised to come to my place to return it in the afternoon (lie) he never answered any of my texts. So after dinner, I went over to his myself, knocked on the door and he eventually answers, wearing the belt I bought him just a week ago (I wanted to rip it off of him) I said I think I deserve an apology or an explanation as to why he thought breaking up over text wasn't disrespectful. I said its obviously his choice if he doesn't want to be with me anymore but why does he have to burn bridges, he can at least end it on a positive note that acknowledges our time together? He said I'm "creating shadows in my head" and that's it. Then he proceeded to ask me (again) why I decided to not see the movie with him that day, because I never explained it, but I just left without another word, not even a goodbye. His obsession with why I didn't want to see the movie with him is strange. Two reasons: he never expressed interest in going and he had plans that evening so by the time he texted me it was already too late. But whatever. I never want him back in my life.

*caps are notorious at hanging on to exes.

Damn phone!

They like the Saturn feeling of misery and what 'could have been'. Anyone in a relationship after the first can never reach the pedestal of the very first one.

They feel like they are settling.
Hmm maybe. But my mom is a Capricorn and my dad is a Scorpio. They were married for 16 years. She remarried and he never did. He took it a lot harder.

Cancers are weird. They can be really good or really bad for scorpios. I really think Scorpios do best with more mature men, who understand them completely and take care of them in small ways and are always there, kind of like a father figure. Because let's accept it, we are not that easy to get along with and we can be the moodiest of them all. And we expect the unconditional forever type of love.

I love how the cardinals signs are like....."Stop acting like you are desperate to be in a relationship! Just get over him already!!"

lolworthy. Especially with as much *time* it takes us (fixed sings) to suss out a person and want to be in a relationship with them.

This is the difference between *fixed* and *cardinal*.

When a relationship goes south....

Cardinal signs *see* people as expendable and if they are not of any use to them, they are finished bothering...

Cancers will scrap book or tuck their partner in their mementos box under the bed and pull them out occasionally to reminisce.
Libras will turn them into a pretty petrified statue to put on the mantle to look at on occasion.
Capricorns will simply take them back to the store for an exchange or refund (always holding on to the receipt, never losing it)
Aries will just toss them in the trash, not even bothering with the recycle bin.

Fixed are not like that.....

You become a fixture in our life. Once you become that fixture.....you are a part of it. Once that relationship is over......it's much more difficult to remove a permanent fixture from your life than to simply pick up an object and toss it out.

You have to use a bolt cutter to remove it from the cement floor.....hire a back hoe to get out all the damn roots......and hire a dozen movers to get it out of your parameter.....then you have to figure out where you are going to put it so it's not in sight any longer.....not to mention the clean up involved afterwards to make everything look like it was never there to begin with.

Being in a relationship for a fixed sign is an investment (even for Aqua). We just don't take that shit lightly. If we did....you all wouldn't be so damn uncomfortable and dumbfounded when we walk away.

He is the first guy I've ever dated who acted like he couldn't care less about our relationship and made me feel like I was nothing. I saw him in person yesterday when he gave me back some money I loaned him. He promised to come to my place to return it in the afternoon (lie) he never answered any of my texts. So after dinner, I went over to his myself, knocked on the door and he eventually answers, wearing the belt I bought him just a week ago (I wanted to rip it off of him) I said I think I deserve an apology or an explanation as to why he thought breaking up over text wasn't disrespectful. I said its obviously his choice if he doesn't want to be with me anymore but why does he have to burn bridges, he can at least end it on a positive note that acknowledges our time together? He said I'm "creating shadows in my head" and that's it. Then he proceeded to ask me (again) why I decided to not see the movie with him that day, because I never explained it, but I just left without another word, not even a goodbye. His obsession with why I didn't want to see the movie with him is strange. Two reasons: he never expressed interest in going and he had plans that evening so by the time he texted me it was already too late. But whatever. I never want him back in my life.
He broke up over text?

Fuck that guy. Move on.

I've yet to deal with a break up via text because they had the balls to do it in person, but if someone did, it'd make dropping them so much easier. Only pussified assholes break up via text. Not worth fretting over or wanting to keep around, tbh. I want someone who can actually handle life, not evade it.

Also, this is the reason why he flipped the fuck out. Your ass turned right around and dismissed it as if it were nothing. Cancers are emotional creatures and if something bothers them, your response is not to dismiss or downplay their feelings because you reacted like a cunt. Scorps have a tendency to downplay and dismiss things when they've been in the wrong and this is what you did right here. This is why the Cancer got so upset. Not justifying his reaction and I do agree that it's a bit overkill, but it's not surprising.

Nevermind that your original story made it sound like this all happened in one instance. Now it's you didn't explain things, left and never said goodbye, but then he texts you that he wants to break up. This is the typical Scorp bit where you glazed over your wrong and painted it to make you solely the victim. You both are at fault in this situation.

Sorry OP, based on this, you're kind of an insensitive bitch and he's kind of a weenie. Not a good match.

Learn from YOUR mistakes as well as what you don't want in a dude, what doesn't work in a relationship, etc. And freaking eat something. Nobody likes a drama queen.

Yeah. isn't that what's best?

i'd only go the text route if I was still dating that person and not yet in full commitment.

You should never go that route, pussy.

I'd only see it valid if it were like a first date, maybe second. Beyond that, it's still really impersonal and a weenie way of going about things.

Take a look at your namesake. It describes text break ups perfectly. You're a pos for thinking they're okay though.

Umm... I don't think you read the story in the right order cause there is no "original story" that bit about saying something happened LAST NIGHT after he has already dumped me

My friends have been such a big help too, never forget them! They're already planning a night out. Everyday gets a little better.
I was hopeful as you should be in every relationship. But I have a lot to offer the next guy and I know now I'm gonna go for someone who has good family relationships.

Some desperate bitches drop all their friends when they pair off. It's a stupid, stupid thing to do, tbh. If things happen to go south, you won't have anyone.

You wanna get over it, or continue to bitch to yourself that you miss him?

I'd modify "dates" to until we're actually intimate.

but if she's rabid like you, i'll stick to text. or bring a baseball bat.

Wow this turned into a Cancer bashing lol, Scorpio and Cancer's fight its the way it goes there are misunderstandings with each other it is hard to explain. Funny thing is its always the Scorpio that ends up p*ssed off stewing over things and the Cancer can't figure out what in the hell is wrong because the Scorpio thinks people are mind readers.

I lost count on how many times I heard "fine" or " I'm fine " from the first Scorpio I knew something was bothering her but she would never tell me it would frustrate me and I would walk away in turn would p*ss her off even more. It is so easy to rub a Scorpio woman the wrong way then you are in damage control, Scorpio women's feelings go into hypersensitive mode when they are close to you. As a Cancer man walking on egg shells isn't fun it gets tiring after awhile.

My Cancer man just broke up with me... over text. We dated on and off for 8 months and then finally a month ago made it official. We told each other we loved each other. The last month has been the best one yet, with minor disagreements. Then this morning we were going back and forth because I told him I was disappointed that he forgot our plans for today. Last night he was supposed to come over after work because I was feeling really down. But he blew me off. And today when I explained to him that I was disappointed that he a) didn't come over like he promised and b) completely forgot our plans for today, he suddenly says this isn't working and we both know it. It floored me. It was one little disagreement and he just dumped me........But how do I heal? I can't eat, I don't know how I'm going to sleep. And he won't even talk to me on the phone, let alone in person, about what happened.
I'm late, but I figured I'd comment anyway. Given the fact that you have been off and on for 8 month I'm guessing this break up wasn't over one "little disagreement". The fact that you're choosing to focus solely on that or you're oblivious to the ongoing issues you were having may be part of the problem. You both sound to be struggling to make things work and he pulled the plug. It's possible that he did love you or cared for you, but that isn't enough of a reason to stay with someone. It doesn't make the statement a lie. Love does not mean one should stay in an unhappy situation.

I'm not sure trying to talk to him about it would make much difference simply because you would be doing something that conflicts with the other: accept the break up and work things out. Choose one and my suggestion would be the former. I mean be honest with yourself, even if he explained "what happened" would it really matter? Certain things stick with Scorps and how this played out will be one of those things for you. You sound too deeply wounded to move past any explanation he could give you, so it makes sense to try to move forward.

Anyway, try to simply to do something nice for yourself. Everyday. The goal isn't to forget him, because you won't be able to do that and that approach will lead to you to beat yourself up when it's not happening fast enough. The goal is to do something small or nice to take your mind off of him for a few moments to an hour. Also, purge your thoughts into a journal. Don't let them occupy your mind. Purge, do something nice, purge, do something nice. You will see over time you will think of him less and less. Your appetite will return in time.
