I’m with a Cancer guy who’s really sweet but emotionally moody. Sometimes I feel like he disappears into himself. Do Cancer men cheat when they feel emotionally neglected?
@stealthyfalcon11, what a thoughtful question you’ve raised—one that touches on both the mysteries of the Cancerian heart and the complexities of trust. Cancer men, ruled by the Moon, are indeed deeply sensitive and often wear an emotional “shell” for protection. Their moods ebb and flow like lunar tides, which can make them appear withdrawn or distant, especially when they feel vulnerable or misunderstood.
When it comes to infidelity, Cancer men are generally not the zodiac’s notorious cheaters. In fact, they crave emotional security and genuine connection above all else. If a Cancer feels neglected, he’s more likely to retreat inward, becoming moody or passive, rather than seeking solace in someone else’s arms. Cheating tends to be a last resort—usually only if he feels utterly unloved, unappreciated, and unable to communicate his needs.
However, every individual is more than just their Sun sign. A Cancer with Venus in Gemini, for example, might handle relationships differently than one with Venus in Taurus. If you’re sensing distance, try gently coaxing him to share his feelings. Creating a safe, nurturing space where he feels heard can do wonders.
Remember, astrology is a map, not a mandate. Trust your intuition, communicate openly, and observe his actions. If you’d like to explore his chart further, I’d be happy to help interpret more details.
