Is Cancer Really Playing You?
In this article, let’s put aside his good side and discuss some flaws of a Cancer man in a relationship. It doesn’t happen very often, but this guy is pretty good at playing mind games with his lover.
Apart from being sensitive and sentimental, he can be complicated sometimes. Furthermore, he is the type that will never forget, so you should not think of hurting or betraying him.

Feel that your Cancerian man isn’t being honest with you?
Here are some warning signs revealing that he may be playing you.
1. He will distance himself
This is the very first signal to spot.
If you find your Cancer boyfriend suddenly acts cold and distant, this is a clear indicator that something is off between the two of you. From my research, there are two possibilities for his behavior:
- He is losing his interest in you.
- He is playing with you.
Weirdly, a Cancer man tends to test his significant other if he is considering taking the relationship to the next level. As a result, he comes up with this distant behavior as well as cold attitude to see how you are going to deal with it.
The problem here is that you’ll get confused to determine whether he is pulling away or no longer interested in you. But, one thing for sure, something is definitely wrong with the way he acts. It could be because of other reasons, or simply that he just wants to play with you.
2. He will ask for some alone time
For those who’ve been dating Cancer man for a while, you probably already know that he really enjoys spending time with the person he loves. You will find him stay around you all the time. However, if a guy is playing with you, then he will definitely ask you for some time alone.
He will try hard to distance himself in case he is not serious in the relationship. When he suddenly needs time to be alone, you should ask him what’s happening and reasons why he wants to stay alone as well.
Keep in mind that you don’t have to force him to answer; plus, it’s not good to pressure him or the connection between you two will be tense negatively.

4. He will block you
Well, I didn’t mean he will block you on social media, but he might do that anyway.
The point here is that he will slowly push you away from his life. He won’t confront you directly as it’s not the style of a Cancer man. If you ask him whether or not he wants to end the relationship, he will simply say that you’re just imagining and everything is still fine.
Nevertheless, things do change.
This guy will barely spend as much quality time of his as he usually did back then. He will also stop inviting you to gatherings of his friends or family. Soon, you will realize it clearly that he’s just messing around with you. Though it’s difficult to accept, you have to end things for your own good.
When it comes to blocking you out of nowhere on social media, he wants to annoy you because he obviously knows that you will get upset and bothered. Moreover, he may be having an affair with someone else on social media and doesn’t want you to catch that.
5. He will be extremely moody
Get ready to deal with his frequent mood swings.
Another common sign telling a Cancer man is playing you is when he becomes so moody. Trust me; I bet his mood swings must be terrible as he acts like a woman on her period most of the time.
At first you may be confused and have no idea how to handle this side of your partner; however, as time passes, you will find yourself can’t stand it. No matter how patient you are, it’s hard to put up with his moodiness for a long time.
If his mood swings are caused by problems in his personal life, then you can have a serious talk with him and you two can figure out solutions together.
Nonetheless, in case Cancer guy is playing with you, his moody behavior is just because he wants you to leave him. He plays around but has no guts to break up with you directly.

The Bottom Line
These are some obvious signs a Cancer man is playing you that you should notice if getting involved with one. It’s necessary to recognize any of these as soon as possible so that you can save yourself for your own good.
I know it’s difficult to accept the fact the person you love is just messing around and using you. Please be strong and think positive as you deserve much better things in a love relationship.
Please keep in mind that true love with a Cancer man is beautiful and worth fighting for; however, not that all Cancers are good partners.
The moment you spotted any of these signs in the relationship with this guy, you’re advised to walk away.
This world is big, so let’s go find someone respect and love you with all of his heart.
When he’s in a healthy and loving relationship, a Crab always wants to be around his partner all the time. He’ll constantly be trying to make her feel safe, special, and protected.
If you notice any of these signs, I’m sorry I have to break it out to you, but your Cancerian guy doesn’t love you; he’s just using you to get what he wants.
