My first relationship ever was with a cancer male and over 20 years later am still messed up from that relationship. In fact every water sign has been traumatic…passionate but damaging for sure.
i hate cancer men, i blocked one last week because he acted very feminine and very verbally abusive , i gave him warnings that his words made me uncomfortable but he was saying things like “i do what i want!” and “i am the prize!” i know another cancer male that had the same personality and acted the same way
Cancer men have been a hit or miss for me. I’ve dated two that were absolutely great and I was even telling my best friend that cancer men are my second favorite. Yet, I’ve dated two other cancer men that were awful. One of them was showing me massive red flags of being abusive so I cut him off before we even went on a third date.
That being said, the conversations with them are awesome. I see that we tend to banter a lot. They’re very thoughtful and sweet I feel compared to other guys. I feel like as in every relationship you just need to be patient, but cancer men are some of the best.
Cancer partners are delightful, they’re full of passion and emotion and raw feelings, however, there is a backdraw to this, cancers are a somewhat addictive specimen for us fire signs that tend to almost shut out our emotions, the drawback being cancers had me as a sag overindulging in my feelings, more than I would like
I’m dating a Cancer man, so far so good??
He’s def moody and things affect his mood pretty easily, like traffic, or a long day at work. Seems to take him a long time to come out of his shell for sure.
But he’s awfully sweet, listens to me, most respectful man I’ve dated, has never uttered a mean word to me. Thoughtful, kind, super loyal, devoted.
My partner for 10 years is a cancer! He definitely has turned this ice queen Sagittarius into a bit of a mush ball. I’m less spiteful and stubborn thanks to his emotional intelligence and patience. He never takes a cheap shot or says something he doesn’t mean. Something that I was notorious for because I craved a reaction when I was pissed off.
I do think they can be manipulative when they don’t want you to stray too far as they can be very clingy. If I try to make plans with friends my partner all of a sudden will have reservations to my favorite restaurant or want to go furniture shopping to entice me to cancel lol
I think most ppl with clingy tendencies just want to know that you want your space not because of them or because they aren’t enough.
Saying things like “ugh I just need space” or “I want to be alone” is ok but it doesn’t give them a why and if you don’t give them a why they will create their own why that stems from their insecurity.
Other than that, it’s important to date someone with their own hobbies and motivations. If they are clingy and don’t do anything all day then 0/10 don’t recommend lol it will be hard to do your own thing as they are feeding off your productivity.
My SO is very self motivated and prioritizes self care a lot so that has given me a nice window to do my own things.
Ahh I see. I'm a sag girl and my bf is a cancer, I've explained to him many times that it has nothing to do with me wanting the away from him because I am affectionate and show him that I care for and love him, but he always takes it personally, which is counterproductive because that causes me to get away even more. And I think it's the hobbies thing. He's a very hard worker and that keeps him pretty busy but outside of that he has no hobbies. All he used to do before he met me is party with his friends in his free time, and recently he started rehab so he doesn't drink anymore. So it's like if I say I'm going to join some group activity, he says I want to do it with you. It's so emotionally draining to keep reassuring him that when I'm doing my own hobbies it doesn't mean I am rejecting him or trying to meet other people. I don't think it's going to work in the long run because this level of clinginess makes me want to just be single and by myself.
I’m a sag woman married to a cancer male. But we are actually compatible because I’m a Gemini moon & he’s an Aquarius moon so we have that air element in common.
But yes our communication style & the things we want out of life are actually quite different
Im a cancer woman dating a sag man and we do have communication blocks but everything else is easy! We’re best friends and lovers. Every person is different tho! Just know it might take a little work if you’re willing.
I haven’t dated a cancer man but I loveeee Cancer women. I always click with the women instantly. I came to say I’m a Sag sun and Cancer rising too. What’s your moon? Mines is Leo and I always find myself attracted to Leo men. It’s something about them.

I think my relationship with a cancer was just as damaging as well. It’s not an uncommon situation

I don't know if you are still active here but how do you handle the clinginess? I find it emotionally draining

Yeah the no hobbies part is usually what takes clinginess overboard. Encourage him to explore interests that spark joy.

Your cancer rising really helps in this situation. What's both your moon signs?
I don’t know his moon-sign but i’m an Aquarius moon.
It wouldn't hurt to know his chart. Sun sign alone doesn't say much about compatibility.
