  1. Relationships require effort, but if he’s always working late and avoiding quality time, it’s a red flag. Personal space is vital, but too much distance signals trouble.

  2. Family bonds are crucial for a Cancer man, but if he’s always with them and excludes you, it’s a concern. It happened to me, and communication was the key to understanding.

  3. Distance can be tricky, but picking fights and being dramatic isn’t the solution. Communication is the cornerstone. Speak openly, and you might save what’s worth keeping.

  4. Physical affection is a Cancer’s language, but when he stops cuddling, it’s unsettling. My experience taught me that addressing the issue directly helped bridge the emotional gap. 💔
