So I've been meeting a lot of people who are in relationships with cancers lately, and all of us have the same problem. We can't read your minds. You don't tell us anything. You get moody and withdrawal for what seems like no reason.

How the heck are we supposed to know what's going on? How do we not take it personally? How are we supposed to tell how you feel if you never let us in on it—?

Ah yes.....thats a tough one, we cancer's do have a soft spot 🙂. We like to be cuddled and loved (at least I do), but sometimes when I'm ticked I like to be alone and brood - at that point we should be left alone for a while. The brooding passes in a while and then we're back to our relative jovial self....

Family, stability and long-lasting relationship's important, so we've gotta feel that's in the air or else we scuttle.

It's extremely hard for me to tell my feelings to anyone, it's tied to my insecurity and fear of rejection...or something of that sort..needless to say, I tend to destroy relationships because of fear of some sort of rejection......

Read up more on your specific cancer type....

well i can understand why it's hard for you guys, but i am a fun loving leo who wears her heart on her sleeve!!! it's making me very sad that my cancer can't reciprocate, and it makes me feel like he's keeping me around until something better comes along. last week i was bummed all week because he withdrew, and when we finally went out on saturday i had an emotional outburst and accused him of not caring....i don't like acting that way and i am embarrassed by it now, but everything needed to come out. he came over last night and we cuddled and watched a movie, but now because of my little scene i am more worried that he thinks i am a drama queen, or psycho or something.....i just don't know how to cope!

My mom is a leo and she KNOOOOOWS when something is bothering me. I don't open up quickly either, so she has to ask me several times what's wrong before I start telling her my issues.. At first I don't want her interfering, but I know she only wants me to be happy and without sorrow! So I think your cancer-man will probably understand what he is putting you through, but he just can't help it..

Off the subject, mr.crabby, you are ADORABLE! Love the pics.

Back on the subject:
"I could take an outburst once in a while, that shows that you care. I probably wouldn't react well at first, but it would mean something to me. Cuddles would follow, so the course of actions seems right so far"

I know EXACTLY what you mean. It almost as though (after an outburst) I say to myself "WWWHOAH". Then it becomes more of "ahhh, they really DO care". I know, it's strange...

The cuddles to follow...priceless.
