Why are Cancer Men so emotionally unstable?

Don't blame it on the mama! :lachen: But seriously, now that you mentioned it, my son (a Cancer) gets offended sometimes by his grandfather (my father) who is a Sag.

These signs are crazy.

I'd just say that they are born that way. My son will give you the shirt off of his back. He frequently wants to give to me, to sacrifice for me....BUT, he does have a selfish side and it's just natural to some degree. And, I'm abrasive...I'm a Taurus...I am a control freak and it's stressful for the Cancer man at times because they are ultra-sensitive to how their loved ones perceive them.

This is why this thread is so long.
 
I'm a cancer, I won't mind dating a Cancer man.
I think all men are crazy.
I'm a caner and my ex (on and off) is a leo
he said i never showed him enough emotion and that everytime we broke up i was cold ....hmm but all my friends say i seem sensative ..for some eason i get confused with virgos don't know why though
 
Either it's not the sign or my hubby is just the odd ball, but he is the total opposite. He's a cancer but he hides his emotions and has a metal wall around his heart. You should of seen what I went through to break that wall half way down.
 
Cancers make great friends, Virgos make excellent frenemies, and Capricorns are good. This guy I'm kinda interested in is a Pisces, we will see...

I have a Aquarius friend that does have entitlement issues, definitely...

I run from Libras.

Sagittariuses tend to be attracted at first sight to me, but I've never dated one.

I want to try a Scorpio and another Taurus.


Ahhhhh scorpios, hard to love but freaks of the weeks. You want something nasty done to you get a scorpio. I am a taurus, last dude I loved was a taurus, he was a little nuts though.

That is what most cancers do. I even have a wall and intend to keep it there until I find someone that I can semi trust.
 
I know this is an old thread. But my ex was a cancer and I'm a scorpio and I will never date another one again. Cancers are so cancerous.

Boy...the cancers in my life. I don't see myself ever dating another one. DRAINING!!!!:wallbash::wallbash::wallbash::wallbash::wallbash::wallbash::wallbash::wallbash:

BTW, I'm scorpio. Maybe I'll deal with a capricorn next:grin:

I'm a cancer and I totally agree that we sometimes shut people out while we heal and regroup. I have done that and continue to do that, although not really with anyone close to me - more with acquaintances, distant family members, etc. I'm also very generous (used to be generous to a fault :rolleyes:) and I'm emotional. I will cry at movies, at a nice text, when thinking about someone I miss, etc. etc. :look:

I'm dating a cancer man now and I LOVE IT. He is emotional but not unstable, a real man but comfortable enough to say he loves Sandra Bullock movies :grin:, and generous without being a pushover. He doesn't shut me out and actually is able to articulate his feelings very well. Not sure how he is in the bedroom b/c we are not there yet but from what he's said and how affectionate he is, I believe it will be amazing. He is perfect for me, which seems strange now that I read all of the other posts about cancer/cancer relationships not working. But this is definitely working for us and I'm enjoying every moment!
 
First my disclaimer: I usually don't believe in astrology but....somethings are so true.

My EX-cancer was the following:

=Selfish - everything is about him and never about US

=cheap/broke

=NEEDY. He ALWAYS wanted to be with me EVERY SINGLE DAY. He would get mad if I took a day to spend with my family.

=needed confirmation/affirmation ALL THE TIME

=HIGHLY EMOTIONAL (would cry at the drop of a hat) :wallbash: speaking as a scorpio, I couldn't take no cry-babies.

=the most un-loyal ***** I ever met; he put his friends above me and we dated for several years.

=desired female attention ALL THE TIME (strange thing was he wasn't an attractive man) :nono:

=WORST YET he was AWFUL in bed :wallbash:

=but as a friend he is loyal, dependable, funny, great guy AS A FRIEND. also he is family-oriented.


So girl, if you can deal with a highly emotional man; then date a cancer other than that RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!!

Wow, i don't believe in astrology too but you just described my ex-husband :eek:. Damn. He's cancer and I'm scorpio. I don't wanna believe that cancer men are like this in general but after 4 years together he left me emotionally battered. I'm still recovering.
 
I'm Virgo and have had two encounters with Cancer men.
1. This was a few years ago, we met through myspace. We never met in person, and we only spoke a few times on the phone. Why did one day while IMing home boy was like, "I love you", when ending the convo. I didn't respond, so he wrote it a few more times. He was very needy and emotionally fragile.

2. This guy was actually really nice and we went out once. He disclosed too much personal info on the first date, and was waaay too sensitive and got upset when I didn't text/call him everyday, and would read negativity into things that Isaid. I also got the super needy vibes from him.
 
my boo is a cancer

he isn't very emotional at alllll

he does love to cuddle tho...a lil tooo much lol

has these brick walls up and it hard to get thru

VERY family orientated, I love that :)

He believe he as the man should work and provide everything and all he wants his wife to do is stay home with the kids and keep the house nice. He likes to take care of his women.

Hes cheap as hell....but got $$ in the bank cause of it.

very ambitious and motivated.

very smart....

hates to be wrong and had a hard time admitting it.

Doesn't empathize too well..

GIRL! Me and my ex broke about 4 years ago and I JUST RECOVERED. I will never date a Cancer again.
 
I am a Cancer myself and I don't date Cancerians. Only one of us can be moody, and sensitive and that's me!!! They could be at a funeral feeling sad no one is paying attention to them. Get lost dude!
 
Well, as the mother of one, I can say they are truely SENSITIVE. I mean...my son was always sensitive. The thing that makes him most uncomfortable? Saying "goodbye" to those he loves. From the time he was a baby, he couldn't handle saying goodbye to my mother when she'd come for a visit. They get sad when it's time to go. And, they sulk a bit. You have to bring them out of it.

OMG, I dread saying goodbye!!! I always cry when I leave my family, or when they leave me. I don't let my husband take me to the airport when I am going somewhere, becauase I don't want to say goodbye. LOL! What is that about? :lachen:

I'ma Cancer and I do NOT mix well with Cancer men....they are wayyyy too soft for me. we can't both be crying and mess! Give me a Scorpio or a Leo ANYDAY!! Geminis are my kryptonite :(

My mother is a Gemini and so is my ex-stepmother. Some of them are hardcore! They can be your BFF and all of a sudden won't return your calls. My DH is a Scorpio. I love Scorpios!!!

I am surprised this is not an Aries thread. All of these comments makes me think of quite a few Aries men.
 
As an Aries, I don't understand Cancers :ohwell:

  • The Cancer men I've dated:
  • Moody
  • Sensitive (Can't even take a damn joke! :wallbash: They take things too personal sometime)
  • UBER hard to get through/to know :wallbash:
  • Try to act tough, but I usually see right through them. :lol: Maybe it's a protection mechanism? *shrugs*
  • Reserved/Keep to themselves
  • Family-oriented
 
I know about the Cancer experience, my first boyfriend ever of 3-4 years was a cancer and boy did we have our emotional ups and downs, ins and outs, we're good friends to this day though, but we both know we could never get back with eachother...but get this my second bf (who im seeing now), we've been going out for over 3 years now and guess what??? He has the exact same bday as my first bf!!!!
 
I absolutely love the emotion of Cancer Men. I love the attachment, the way they cleave to you, the drama.

The Cancer Men I know are strong and tough but also sensitive. Man, that's a great combo for me. Tarzan with a heart.
I work with 2 Cancer Men right now who are muscular, dominant but caring in a way many other men aren't. (I teach).

I used to date a Cancer man, but he was really traditional (as Cancers are) and we argued over whether a man should be the disciplinarian in the family (for children). At that time I was going through my feminist stage and suffice it to say he married someone else

But I'm totally open to Cancers now. And now I would let a Cancer man think he's the household leader.

I'm a Scorpio and I love the milieu of emotion. I just need that in my life. I was entertaining an Aqua last year and while the intellectual exchange was amazing I felt the bond lacked emotionally. I vowed that I would not do air signs again. I like water suns or fire guys with lots of water planets. (Venus or Moon).
 
I love this thread!

I'm a Taurus and my s/o is a Cancer. I am thankful for my patience. He is a good guy, but if you can't deal with their emotions or when they close up it's a wrap. In my experience, once they know you can be trusted they open up more (it just takes time).
 
Wow, I'm cancer and definately don't get attached in relationship. I'm sensitive to family and friends needs but not with men especially if they are jerk I move on!
 
I don't care what ya'll say about Cancer men lol they can't be any worse than Gemini men. :nono: Those are the ****'s you have to worry about especially if they can put it down in the bedroom - you'll be hooked!

The Gemini men i've dated were like the spawn of satan, wishy-washy and only wanted to commit once you broke up with them ( I got two still waiting for me to give them another chance, :rolleyes:).

One thing I love about my Cancer SO is he is loyal and I feel very secure in my relationship with him, something I lacked in other relationships.
