A little help here please.

I am calling on all of you wonderful Cancers to help me understand my Cancer. Oh! I almost forgot to mention I'm a Scorpio by the way. We were together for almost 2 a half years and we separated in August. We were working on getting back together but I was beginning to get a little impatient with that whole process because he was moving very slow to reconcile. So I began to send e-mails that you wouldn't send to your worst enemy to him. I only sent them because I felt as though he was dragging out the process of us getting back together when I either wanted us to bring closure to our situation or reconcile.
Within the last e-mail I was basically telling him goodbye and bringing closure to our situation. About 5 days after he got the final e-mail he gave me a call. (This happened about 2 weeks ago.) He tried to act as though he called me to discuss the e-mail but in reality he called to reconcile. I feel as though if he wanted to talk about the e-mail he could've easily replied to it not take the time to call me on the phone. In the beginning of the conversation he acted as though he didn't want to be bothered and his true Cancer came out when he told me I hurt his feelings and when he asked me if I still cared about him. The Crab came out again when he began to try and feel me out to see where my feelings for him stood. The tone of the conversation changed when he realized I still cared for him.
Towards the weekend he called again and asked me to come by and see him. I went and the first thing he asked me for upon sight was a hug. I reluctantly gave him one. Then he began to tell me that he was still in love with me. He also spent the entire evening acting as though we were back together. He then looked me in my eyes and told me that he is still in love with me.
I have said all of that to ask this: Is this my favorite Cancer's way of saying we have reinstated our relationship? Or are we still in the process of reconciling. I know and have seen first hand that you lovely Cancers are wonderful at side stepping situations that could possibly be emotionally devastating for you. Is he side stepping us because he is afraid of being hurt?

Thank all of you lovely Cancers in advance for your help.

He's telling you he loves you and you think he's sidestepping?

2,5 years of relationship and you guys still don?t know each other?s feelings..??

I am sure that you guys are not expressive enough with your feelings for each other and you both interpret it as other partner may play the game hence developing doubt..!

Remember.. past is past? no matter what was happen then, there will be always a new day ahead, and it is foolish to bring the past disappointments and struggles in to the new day.

If you guys wanted to give your relationship another chance then, do it! If not, don?t play and waste your time for something that you?ve already know where it ends..!!

First I would like to thank you all for offering your opinions to me. Your advice has helped more than you know of. I will take everyone's advice and apply it to my situation.
By using the word side stepping I mean that he hasn't given me a definite answer as to whether we are back together or not. I don't want him to act like we are together I would like to know for sure.
We do know how we feel about one another but we both have a lot of trouble expressing our feelings. For me I am not great with expressing my feelings due to the fear of them being hurt as soon as they are exposed.
