If a Cancer tells you he wants to marry you, spend the rest of his life with you, grow old with you and that he has told his mother such things as well regarding you is he thinking with his head, his heart or both?
Maybe what I should be asking is, is a Cancer likely to simply settle as a result of comfort and familiarity?

I think I know what you mean. I think us cancerians are capable of accepting something for a while that isn't in our hearts or what we truly want when another person is making all the moves and is in the driving seat but if the cancerian is the one making the moves and coming out with this kind of thing without any pressure to whatsoever from the other person then you can be confident it isn't anything like settling and it's more like a passion/ a burning desire.
It takes quite a bit for a cancerian to plunge forward on their own accord so when they do I think you know it means something worthwhile, and they will if they know they'll have to to get what they want.
Does anybody else agree with me??


Agreed!
And I think that we tend to project any angst we're feeling if we are not in the driver's seat. So if I'm just settling, the other person will know that...they will feel it.
If he has spoken to his mom about you, well I would definitly take it that he's feeling it pretty deep down. Our mom's mean a lot to us!

I'd be cautious... a Cancer can get caught up in the moment and plunge in thinking he's found "the one". Then, *poof*... reality hits.
Even if he does mean it, there will be a time when he has doubt... then the testing begins.

I know it seems like that. I have also had passing thoughts on whether or not my crab is just settling for me for the sake of being in a relationship again. The truth is that comfort and familiarity means the world to them. That is their passionate spot. They can't open up to just anyone and let just any joe shmoe off the street in their heart. Domestic life isn't the most exciting but it's stable and feels secure. They like having someone to come home to. Someone they can cook meals with and cuddle up with in bed to watch a movie or something. They love the beginning stages of romance, where everything is all hearts and rainbows, but they ultimately want that one mate.
Ok, maybe a little background is in order here: We've known each other almost 6 yrs, I lived with him 3, been separated for over 2... oh, and he is 43, never been married and I was the longest relationship he has ever been in (longest before me - 3 months).
