When a Cancer decides they want to spend their life with you, they mean it. No matter how bad things get, you can expect a devoted Cancer to ride with you to the gates of hell.

Cancers love their partners unconditionally, but they also have an insecure streak. Sticking with a Cancer means being ready to shower them with the assurance they need.

That same level of vulnerability means that Cancers sometimes have trouble opening up. It can be hard to get them to express themselves in verbal terms, largely out of a desire to not burden others with their worries.

These partners have trouble telling their partners how they feel, but those emotions can still bubble to the surface. If they seem grouchy of passive-aggressive, you may need to work to coax the reasoning out of them.

Just because a Cancer has trouble expressing their feelings doesn't mean they don't care. Cancers are more likely to demonstrate their affection through acts of giving than through words or physical intimacy.

The hardened exterior a Cancer's walls can make it hard to know them, but they're fine with that. It's best to just love them for what you know and let the rest remain a mystery.

The loyalty that Cancers share with their partners is extended to their entire families. If you aren't willing to accept that family time will be a big part of their life, it might not work out.

Both male and female Cancers have a maternal quality. Just roll with it. Cleaning, making dinner, and engaging in other acts of care are just their way of expressing love.

Cancers may be mothering, but that doesn't mean that they're smothering. Their reclusive nature means they tend to need a decent amount of alone time to recharge their batteries and process their feelings.

Caners enjoy the base sensations in life, and that extends to their understanding of food. They're likely to know the best restaurants in town and be able to parse good food from the hype of the hot new thing.

These partners spend a lot of time in their own heads, but that leaves them with plenty of time to let their imagination run wild. Get them to open up, and you're sure to hear all sorts of fascinating stories.

Where signs like Gemini see an argument as an intellectual challenge, Cancer do their best to avoid it. Proving that you can handle conflict with grace and poise will earn you a lot of favor in a Cancer's eyes.

A Cancer has a tendency to put the feelings of others before their own. When you get a gift from a Cancer, you can expect it to come from a place of their heart.
