I met this cancer guy 6 months ago and well he's a cancer to a T! We hit it off but I said something after we slept together that gave him the impression I just wanted sex (he later told me). A month into it he disappeared! I was heart broken. A month later I contacted him and within a week I brought up a relationship talk. After two failed marriages (not on his part) and no relationship with his mother in 8 years he said he wasn't capable of one but he wants one. We agreed to be a "fwb" for now. He also has a lot going on with work and some temp financial stress so I've just tried to be there for him too and relax him! Well we've spent 5 nights a week together for the past two months! 2 weeks ago I could tell he was really opening up and after spending an amazing weekend together inside being bums I knew he really cared I could just tell by his actions and comments! Then I didn't hear from him for two days! I get the "we need to talk" call and he started off saying I feel like I'm killing you (I'm guessing taking away from my life and responsibilities), I said we shouldn't see each other anymore. Then he called me out on this look I give him and told me he could see through me and I was in love with him! I told him I was and then he hugged me for awhile really tight and kept saying I'll always be here I'm not ging anywhere but I'm not the guy for you! I started crying and he told me how beautiful I was and I noticed he had the inlove look too!! I've never seen it until then! I kept asking why we couldn't be together then and he just kept repeating I'll always be here! . He told me I was good to him and I cried a little more. I then said I hate u right now and he said u do? And I said with a little smile no I love you.... A lil bit and he looked at me and said I love u a lil bit too and hugged me again!! I said I'd wait for him but not forever! I finally stepped away from the hugging and told him it was late and we needed to go to bed. I left the next morning quickly saying have a good day and he said okay talk to u later very sweetly with that look again! It's been two days and nothing! So my question is what do I so now!!? If I give him space to figure his life out will he come back and in the meantime do I ignore him or once a week or every few days send a short text or what?! How do we say we love each other and then he just walks away?!? Someone help because I can't let a love like this go!
