I really do think that I let this Cancer man get away with too much for too long. I'm not saying that it is not my fault, as we have been FWB for over 2 years, note without any sex, just fooling around.In the 2 years he has not given me any clear indication that he has feelings for me, and calls me up only when he is in the mood, or when it is about work. Will he ever show his feelings, what signs will there be if he feels anything deeper for me. There is times that he shows signs of jealousy, but I just don't know. Should I tell him to treat me proper, or otherwise to hit the road. It is clear from my post that I'm still in love with him, I think I'm addicted to this unhealthy relationship. I just want to know if he feels anything for me? He will not tell me if I ask.He is always making jokes about everything, so I will not know. I NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hummm...He probably is just not that into you but wants to keep you around as an option or he is a player type and not worth your time. You deserve better. If you want to play to see, jealously and sudden and unexpected ignoring should force his hand or make him show some cards. If it doesn't then drop him because he probably doesn't care.

I agree with telling him to get right or get left. Just my opinion.

Reading this objectively, and not to be insensitive, two things strike me.

First, you two are friends with benefits, therefore there is no 'treat me right or hit the road'. Of course he should treat you with respect, BUT FWB is soley that...you hook up when the time strikes, feels right, etc. with no obligation to the other person. None.

Second, which falls into the risk of what you said that also struck me: you are still in love with him. Feelings tend to get involved on one party or the other generally. And I am going to assume you saying, 'still'... meaning even if he treats you less than you desire, you "still" love him; and not that you were in a relationship before and have never stopped loving him.

The only way you will know is to force the hand. Either be straight up honest with him that you have developed feelings and this is becoming too hard, and is he interested in possibly pursuing this. OR, you back off and start saying no.

I will give you a heads up, men know what window of opportunities to crawl through if they think it will get them what they are after. Cancer men are extremely smooth, especially if he has a flirty venus. SO... Do not waiver, do not say maybe, do not indicate anything short or less than you being serious, and that you mean business. You don't have to be a biatch, just be confident. If he thinks he can persuade you to think different off of any wishy washy, or previous comments you have made, he will use that window to smooth talk you by telling you what he knows you want to hear.

P.S. Jealousy does not mean anything necessarily. Jealousy mereily is something people feel and show when they either want something someone else has, or they can't have. Him being jealous is no one else gets his goods, meaning you, because then he would have to share. If he dangles enough of a carrot for you to stick around, he's gold. Keep that in mind. If he's serious about you, his jealousy will become pursuit of you to make and keep you his.

Yeah, she is serious. Many times people (women mainly) come to accept the unacceptable because their self esteem is battered beyond all hell. We accept *scraps* when we deserve full portions because we'd rather have SOME part of him than NO part of him. Eventually, we lose all parts of US.

Emotional thinking always overules rational thinking when a person has no self love, respect, esteem. Id venture to say its time for OP to back away.
