Posted by rose78451235There could be a hundred reasons regarding your marriage. It's not my business. Shit unfortunately happens. I assume you're no longer married. I can't recall without scrolling through again. Best thing is to work on what is present now. That's you. Block this guy. Delete his number. Delete all messages so you can't sit and dwell on him. Every day you'll be a little further away from that situation. You'll be fine. There's right billion people on this planet. You'll find one another day.
Harsh but the truth.
My marriage, I didn't provide enough back story to justify why I wanted to end it, but I prefer to keep it that way.
We caught feelings way too fast, I stuck with it, he realized and pulled back and just wanted the fun part of it. We met each other at very low points of our life. I believe in the fairytale crap, guess I need to get out of that world.
But thank you. I really appreciate your response.
Externally - Influenced Ed when it comes to my marriage and Overly romantic Ronald with the Cancer guy. It made me laugh which is pretty ironic.
It was funny how I was justifying his actions by saying that he was a Cancer man and he was hurt from his old relationship, shy and needed more time etc etc. after I read a few discussions on dxpnet on this topic. I simply switched off my logic for this guy, hoping things will be better once he feels safe enough to trust me. And to begin with, he was the one who initiated all of this.
I have actually never dated much to be smart with these things. The only thing I am taking away from this thing is that he introduced me to camping and hikingTreetrunking- never knew what that word meant. Now I do

Posted by rose78451235That's the spirit! At least you can thank him for introducing you to something new!!

Posted by rose78451235He is wise to feel that way. After divorcing or getting out of a major relationship one does need time to recover from the process as well as getting back out there and dating again. I know you want him now but getting back out in the dating world would do you good also; especially since you have only been with your husband and this guy. Explore a bit. Being a Libra girl you probably have a lot of prospects.
I am working out the divorce proceedings, and I was in a relationship with my husband for 8 years (a long distance one) before that, so it wasn't a quick thing. And I have only dated my husband and this guy now. So he knows that I am not the person who jumps from person. In fact, he helped me go through the separation phase, and when we talked about taking things further, he said since we both have broken up from really long relationships, we need to spend some time alone, keep meeting each other meanwhile as see how it goes.

Cancers don’t like being smothered with other people’s emotions and needs.
Especially when he’s working through his own emotional needs. He doesn’t need you claiming you’re in love so he’s now got your feelings to manage, and not hurt.
Cancer needs space now. You seem to be rebounding. He doesn’t want commitment. He wants freedom to chase women cuz he was tied down with someone.
He’d be nuts to jump into something else. He’s not a douche. He was honest. You just seem to want what you want and will “act” a certain way to get what you want.
He’d be ghosting to get away from your mission to keep him, for you.

I totally understand you pain! I have been through this with a cancer man, it seems we speak about the same person lol
He would also say to me"i have never met someone like you before, our connection is crazy" crap 😂
And it was a strong connection, felt it and still feel if he's thinking about me, we will same thoughts in the same moment, we will text each other from nowhere at the exact time saying we miss each other.
The hugs and energy...like a DRUG!
But one day he started to back off, had some discussions and me not wanting to delete some messages he wanted and boom, blocked everywhere! And that was it! Just because I did not do what he wanted😁
Now, not sure if something is missing from your story, but as libras we give so much love and pour our souls to the person we love...Doing everything and anything, sometimes too much, we get obsessed !
Now with these guys, I heard and after my experience, I really think they need to be treated like SHIT and they LIKE it. Then they will pursue.
So, the moral of the story? He did not have the courage to even give me a message, or answering on the phone, I was left in the dark with broken heart. I did not matter to him. Not a tiny bit.
I know he will receive what he deserves at some point in life for what he's done, because I was so genuine.
I am not going to tell you what to do, because that will not change how you feel about him.
I know is hard to be alone, I know you may be scared, but everything is happening with a reason.
Please do not allow him to destroy your self esteem!
Bear hug from me🐼
Posted by rose78451235But there is a plan, there is a mission.
You perhaps got some points right about him which I couldn’t see since his behavior towards me indicated something else. I am an adult and I understand when someone behaves like he’s into me but doesn’t say it. If I wouldn’t have felt that way I wouldn’t even have pursued him in the first place. And I could have relationships and rebounds if I really was looking for it.
As for him, he broke up after he met me. So if he really wanted to chase other women, he wouldn’t have waited for me come into his life to decide to break up.
And I don’t ‘act’ a certain way, my feelings for the people around me have always been genuine and not out manipulation. And I will still care for him whether he is in my life or not.
Unfortunately you missed the whole point of the question I had asked perspective Not judgement.
There is no mission. There is no plan.
Some people don’t think that way.
