Will my Cancer Ex return?

I was with a cancer man for almost three years. We had a very bad and intense breakup in December. We still spoke with each other for 2 months after but finally in March he told me that we needed to take some distance and try and, "build our lives without one another."

He stopped responding to any of my texts, ignored my phone calls, and just downright disappeared. I left him alone after the first couple of attempts, but I feel super resentful about it and hurt just because i feel abandoned and as if he's just trying to erase me (which isn't realistic).

It has now been 5 months since we last spoke and he hasn't reached out...at all.

We saw each other once last month (April) randomly at a party and I casually left without speaking because I felt awkward AF and I'm not over it. I'm just not over it and I don't think I can be and I have told him multiple times (in the two months after the break up which we were still speaking with each other) that I want to be with him and I don't care about the fights, I still want to work it out.

Do you think he will contact me ever again? Like it's impossible to just pretend as if i never existed or as if it isn't painful? Aren't Cancers supposed to want to do anything to salvage it? I don't understand really. We went from being with each other every day and yes there was jealousy and violence but I always think that those things happen because you love each other so much. The breakup felt like we were being ripped apart from each other.

I am certain he has either hooked up with other people or looking for it, including maintaining a more than platonic relationship with a girl he met weeks before we broke up. He even introduced her to all his friends.

Unfortunately he has moved on and you should too. In time, he might reach out to you. It's still a recent break up, so it will hurt. When cancers are done with someone we are DONE .

He meant what he said. I think the problem with most cancers is sayin what we mean and meaning what we say. In this case his actions have shown that he really wants to take space. Not to say he will never reach out to you again, but you should move on with your life! Get a bumble if you need to, but don't text him anymore. I don't think he's really looking for the same as you. If you two fought a lot, well that's a major turn off for cancer. I know as a cancer female, I just don't do arguing and if it's consistent then I back away.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I feel you.

Unfortunately the best thing with us cancers is to show him the cold shoulder for now. The thing with the other woman and him introducing him to his friends is pretty bad. That sucks.

If you have contact and you really want him back (despite the bs he is pulling on you), don't attack or criticize him (for now) be honest about your feelings, but remain at a distance.

He might come back if this other woman breaks his heart and he gets sentimental over you / wants your support, but be aware of that too.

I know from my Dad that he's drawn to strong and independent women. The same counts for me. So that would be your best weapon.
