He is not the type that will give you the cold shoulder forever. But if you don’t find a solution for this issue, misunderstandings will arise between you and him more and more.
This man will open up and even share his emotions when he completely feels comfortable with you.
Nonetheless, there are times when he may throw a fit in protest to whatever making him upset about rather than icing you out. In the situation for him to ignore you, then what you did to him would probably be over the line.

- Honestly express your feelings frequently and sincerely toward him, even if you are sensing anxious and fear deep inside. Emotional and sensitive, he appreciates topics related to feelings. Be more open to him and the emotional level between you two will grow stronger.

What Does He Think When Ignoring You?
1. He is stressful and not want to tell anyone
Cancer man may not a person of drama, but he tends to run or hide when a major stress occurring in his life.
Or, what you are doing to him provides him no safety and security ? 2 important elements in a relationship with a Crab. Put it simply, understanding this man well is a need, since you have to make him feel secure before requiring him to care for you.
A Cancer may become stressful due to a number of reasons.
Like:
- Suddenly losing his job
- Having problems with his family members
- Failing his exams or failing to get a job
- Feeling pressured with his current relationships
As much as you want your Cancer man to be honest with you, then be real to him.
2. He is not aware of his ignoring act
As I told you above, Cancer man is reserved and tends to stay in his own shell. Therefore, maybe it’s just because he is not interested in talking. Sometimes, he is not even aware that he’s ignoring you.
Don’t jump to the conclusion quickly!
He rarely communicates with you doesn’t mean he does not love you anymore.
Whenever you notice a drastic change in his attitude with you, please give him his private space to think about everything (his current thoughts, his feelings to you, etc.) rather than forcing him to explain.
3. He is afraid of calling you due to his own insecurity
His fragile ego is the main reason making him unable to accept the idea of showing his vulnerable side to his loved one in any shape of form.
Most Cancer men are insecure yet they will never admit they’re insecure.
Your Cancer craves for a relationship that can provide him both safety and security. He doesn’t like getting involved in situations that could threaten him or put him in harmful ways. That’s why he is likely to avoid any conflict.
Even if he really likes you, he will try to not be the one taking the initiative.

Hi Laura,
So I met this cancer man online a month ago but he lives in another country. I decided to book a trip to go see him which is a month away. He told me he loved me 2 weeks after we started talking. But he broke my trust and I started snooping and confronted him about it in the nicest way possible. He became very defensive which was heartbreaking because instead I wanted him to just comfort me and want to work on things.. he told me it was up to me it i still wanted to go visit because he just feels weird and thinks we both dont trust eachother now. I texted him and told him i still want to do the trip, apologized again and told him i hope we can still talk and have fun together for the time being when you?re ready. He hasn?t replied yet. Do you think he?s done with me forever?
Dear J,
It’s him who broke your trust first. If your relationship with him is suffering from trust problems, then maybe it’s better for both to stop at this moment and think about everything. But first I think you should have a serious conversation with him, his answer will help you make the decision.
Sincere!
Hii ,I m a scorpion ,I also have a cancer friend ,we met accidentally ,at first he was very sweet ,caring ,and our friendship grew ,one day he proposed me ,I also said yes ,but after a month things went wrong ,we started fighting for small reasons ,probably I think I was my mistake ,I didn’t understood him before ,but now I realized my mistake ,and now I want my friend back ,but he is acting cold ,not replying my msgs ,no calls ,what should I do???
Dear Ankita,
Well you cannot pry him out of his shell that is for sure. A bit of tenderness and reassurance and you can get him to talk to you again. Also, even though he hates confrontation, you should see him face to face. Remind him that there is nothing to worry about, Cancers are very emotional and he is very humble, too humble at times. Give him a week or so, let him think it through and then confront him about what is wrong and simply talking it out and understanding will save what you have.
Good luck!
Please laura give me some advice so that I can win his trust and friendship back
I?m a Capricorn and I?m dating a cancer male. I actually moved countries to live with him because a long distance relationship is something we both didn?t want and had the chance to be together so I did it. Everything from this article about him being distant and ignorant is so true. One moment he can be the most loving teddy bear, the next he can be a totally different person and I constantly feel like I?m doing things wrong. I often wonder if it?s me being paranoid and wanting too much attention or it?s a normal thing. We can be in bed watching films and not speak for over an hour, no contact. He won?t make initiative to say anything and then a mood will just appear between us out of no where. I don?t know how to fix this. I don?t want to be clinging to someone who I feel has no interest in me in times like this. But I need to feel like I?m loved.
Dear Holly,
Its unusual for a Cancer to go distant. They are clingy by nature.
You have probably said something or did something that upset him. Remember Cancer is the most sensitive sign. Choose your words. He might be testing you. Give it some time, Cancers ALWAYS come back when they are truly in love.
Sincere!
Dating Cancer lil over a year…the distancing is bothering for sure, i really could not imagine dealing with this up and down rollercoaster ride this late in life!! And i told him ignoring me is THE WORST thing you can do……and he STILL does it!!! Shits getting old and turning me off…i hate inconsistency
Dear Mz. B
If he doesn’t want to get too attached to you, he’ll try to avoid you if possible, and stop any affections he gave you (hugs, calls, etc.) until it seems like he “disappears”. He will come back though, as seen in a lot of questions in this article and they’ll warm up again.
In fact, Cancer men have a high intense of emotions on the inside, you probably just don’t see it on their surface because they hide it well. Just remind him that you love him, and nothing will change that. Let him know that you will always be there for him when he needs you. I am sure that soon he will open up.
Sincere!
