  1. Emotions run deep with Cancer men, and I’ve found they express anger in unexpected ways. My Cancer ex would shut down, leaving me confused. Eventually, he’d unleash his frustrations, but only after bottling them up for too long. It’s a rollercoaster dealing with their emotional outbursts.

  2. I can relate to some points in the article, but I don’t completely agree. Cancer men can be moody, and that clashes with my Libra nature. However, I appreciate their passive-aggressive approach. It’s better than a full-blown argument. Understanding each other’s quirks is key to making it work. 🌟

  3. My experience with a Cancer man was different. When upset, he’d overeat, turning to food for comfort. It was strange yet endearing. Embracing his unique coping mechanisms brought us closer. It’s fascinating how individuals navigate anger in their own distinct ways.

  4. Crying! That hit home. My Cancer crush always shed tears when upset. It threw me off at first, but understanding that it’s their way of seeking comfort changed my perspective. Emotional vulnerability is a beautiful aspect of Cancer men.
