Are Cancer Men.......

Jealous & possesive?

Be a little more specific?

Just wondering if jealousy is a common trait? How do cancer men handle feelings of jealousy, more prone to lashing out or giving the silent treatment? What would trigger these feelings and when you have them toward someone is it due to feelings more than just friendship?

all the time

My cancer ex wasn't possessive or clingy at all. He didn't care what I did. He didn't need an update or a text or wonder where I was or who I was with. He lost track of time and days. He was so much in his head and his emotions. Id tell him anyway though. I like to check in.

He only showed jealousy a few times. He'd get insecure sometimes when we were out and smoother me with affection. I wasn't complaining though. I loved those days.

Well, the exact answer is: It depends, lol.
Speaking for myself, I don't get jealous very often with a partner.
I do feel it deeply when I do.
Usually with Cancers you'll see them get quiet and moody if they're dealing with it.
Jealousy is always about feelings.
The way to diffuse it is through communication and understanding where the other person is coming from. The one bad thing with Cancers is that juxtaposition of pulling back and not communicating.
I think you'd see more of it with a Cancer if the relationship has been established for a little while, and the trigger usually is the perception (right or wrong) that the other person isn't being completely honest with where Cancer stands with respect to others that may be in the picture.
