1. They love you, but they hate you, but they love you

Being a water sign, Cancer might appear to always be easy and calm. But the reality is quite different. And when you’re spending time with them, apart from the cute dates, you’ll start seeing that. They can be really hot and cold and might make you question what side of the bed they woke up on, on a daily basis. So, the easiest way to deal with this is to have a quick, small chat with them at the beginning of the day and also keep checking in every hour to test the waters.

2. They love pampering their partner but also appreciate the same love back

Be it physical touch, material things, or comforting words, whatever is the love language of your Cancer roomie, be mindful of it. Cancers love pampering their special ones and they make it seem like they are doing it without expecting anything in return. But here’s the catch. They actually want you to spoil them every once in a while. It could be cooking their favourite dish or watching a show they recommended to you. And that is one of the best tips for living with a Cancerian, happily, for the time being at least.

3. Cancerians tend to go into their shell and become distant when something puts them off

One of the chattiest zodiacs, you would expect Cancerians to speak their mind when something upsets them. But they are not as easy as they seem. They are resentful little people who would zip their lips when it is actually time to talk. And if you don’t want to be banging your head against the wall, approach them with a donut or a good dessert. This will give you leverage and also make them believe that you’re giving them a peace offering, and in return, they’ll offer you a piece of their mind.

4. It is either all in or all out for them

Cancerians hate hanging by loose threads, vague hopes, and half-assed promises. They are passionate beings and love commitment to the core. So, if you’re a flaky, commitment-phobic person who is never sure what your tomorrow might look like, it can be quite troublesome for you. From their time in bed doing unimaginable things to you with utmost passion and care, to sitting on the couch and discussing life problems, Cancers don’t do things halfway.

5. They can be nonchalant like they’re aiming to win a trophy for it

One tip for living with a Cancerian is getting yourself up to date on their mood swings. And even though Cancerians are the most loving, genuine, and compassionate people, they can play the ‘too cool to care’ card to an extreme. It might even go to the extent of making you question whether they’re into you anymore or not, but they just need a warm hug and someone to rant to. So, if that makes you run for the hills, you better get those shoes on ’cause once you’re in it, it can be realllly hard to get out.

6. It is all fun and games till you bring exes into the equation

Cancerians are really good at putting up a strong font with an IDGAF attitude. But they are really bad at it. Especially when it involves any of your exes. They can’t stand the thought of their partner mumbling about their exes unless, of course, it involves bashing them. And don’t be fooled by their ‘I totally understand you’ and ‘it is so normal’ facade because, deep down, they want you to shut the fuck up. They are possessive and will never shy away from physically showing it, and it can be a little (a lot) annoying at times.

7. Don’t try to reorganise their stuff to make it look BETTER

Cancer is a proud sign and they love being praised for their skills. And usually, they are pretty tidy and can recall where they kept their stuff. But never ever try shifting their things from one shelf to another just ’cause it looks better there. It might actually be looking way better, but does your crabby boo admire your aesthetic? Babe, no. Do they appreciate you taking out your time to shift their mug from the top shelf to the drawer? Honey, keep it back. So, unless they come and explicitly ask for help, don’t move around their stuff ’cause they will move you out.
