hey all, i was just wondering if anyone on the board has ever been in a long distance relationship with a cancer male. my boyfriend moved about 3,000 miles away from me about 2 months ago (yeah, i know, crazy right?)- we've been together for about 8-9 months now and we've agreed to try the whole long distance thing. he is a great man and i do trust him, but the the distance has definitely been hard on me. i don't know if he's just more confident in our relationship than i am, but it seems as if i worry more about our relationship and that i miss him more than he misses me (i vocalize it more at least).

i guess you can say there's a strange sort of dynamic in our relationship. we're very alike, but also very different. we both tend to not like confrontation, but if i feel a problem can be nipped in the bud right then and there, i will confront it, whereas he will retract or get defensive. he HATES confrontation, avoids it at all costs- has even told me that he sometimes convinces himself that everything is okay, even when it's not.

anyway, back to the whole long distance thing... anything's possible, but astrologically, how realistic is it to have a long distance relationship with a cancer man? knowing my boyfriend and his morals/values, i would say that he's not the cheating type, but sht happens sometimes. i'm the type of person that never really says "never" and sometimes i feel insecure because he doesn't seem to need or want to communicate with me frequently, even given the distance. he says he feels as if i'm "keeping tabs" in that sense, or impeding on his freedom. when asked, he tells me that he's happy with me and he's never been more sure about being with someone in his entire life- that he'd never do anything to hurt me/compromise our relationship, but it's hard to believe that if it's not verbalized at times. i mean, actions DO speak louder than words, but actions can't be felt from 3,000 miles away... not in my book.

opinions appreciated. ps- i am a leo 😉
