Astrology: If you fall in love with a Cancer man

What is the Cancer man like?

The Cancer man can be seen as a true gentleman, a dream man: he knows how to court, he's spontaneous, adorable, sweet, he believes in family, he has a keen sense of humor, and he loves to cuddle. So far, there's nothing to complain about; in fact, he'd be the ideal companion for many women.

Unfortunately, however, the concept of devotion typical of Cancer, in the male version, is very similar to that of a kidnapping: handcuffs, gag and a pointed weapon.

In reality, his psychology is quite complex because he wants you like a Siamese twin, he is extremely passive (even in bed), but in some way he holds you hostage.

His is, in fact, a kind of spider's web that, once you enter, you become entangled and from which it is extremely difficult to escape. Once you accept the Cancer man as a partner, you will realize that the invitation to share your life has also been extended to his friends and relatives, especially his mother.

The picture is starting to take on darker hues, but that's not all. He's an extremely sensitive and incredibly introverted person: he expects you to understand how he feels at every moment, to read his mind, to encourage his crystalline ego. Every day.

If you're afraid of upsetting him, rest assured: everything will upset him. Every action you take will be seen as a threat to him, no matter the nature of the action. In fact, everything seen through his distorting lens becomes a clear sign that you no longer love him.

If you think rational dialogue might be the best solution, know that many have already tried it: it doesn't work. This approach also makes them touchy and irritable; it's best avoided.

His inner world

He's so caught up in his inner world, in its thousand emotional nuances, that he's surprised you don't feel the same. We're talking about a temperamental personality, to say the least, extremely sensitive, who gets offended by nothing, who sulks, who becomes as heavy as an anchor tied around his neck.

Financial security, despite his own admissions, is a major concern for him, but he's certainly not the one who will have to make sacrifices: he'll be too busy recovering from the stress symptoms the situation has created. You'll be the one working double-time to get the budget back on track, while he'll have to focus on recovering emotionally from the temporary financial turmoil.

What to do to stay close to a Cancer man

There are only two ways to be productive with a Cancer man: the first is to give him everything he wants, the second is to live in perpetual silence.

In fact, he will defend his every belief with exhausting details, with very long explanations and if you do not give him your consent immediately you could encounter his infamous lost-child look.

So what?

Better to let him win and give in to his point of view, also because the second path, that of silence, must take into account the fact that Cancer's silence is made up of sighs, moans, mutterings... a real hell.
