Cancer man said sex was just sex, then why act like this?

I' m dating a cancer guy who has asked that I not talk to any guy while we are seeing where things go. We had sex and I freaked out because I'm not the type of girl to sleep with someone if I'm not in a relationship. I've only slept with one other guy. He told me sex was just sex and it doesn't change how we are.

We recently got into a disagreement due to him accidently meeting my mom. He felt like he was being forced into a relationship by that move. He has been a bit distant and started withholding sex and not spending time with me. Finally I got through to him and he suppose to come over this weekend.

He also stated we had a good thing leading to a relationship before the whole situation but now he isn't too sure. I told him let's take things slow we both like each other and put some faith in me. He said I'm still here so it's obvious I want something serious.

We both agree if we get together it should be towards marriage.

If sex is just sex and no feelings involved then why withhold sex just because a cancer is mad? Aren't guys supposed to be able to separate sex and love?

FYI we are 25 so it's not teenagers.

    Cancers tend to be extremely level headed and even a bit old fashioned, they tend to be really loyal and protective of their relationships. Out of all the signs cancers tend to be the most into stable monogamous unions. So that said, perhaps he wants to take things more slowly, abstaining from sex to guage where your relationship is going and to really see how your relationship stands, whether you both truly are in love with all aspects of each other.

    You don't say what sign you are which makes a lot of difference, nor do you say what Moon signs you and this guy have. But, I don't think you are a very good match with him, since Cancer is a very difficult sign for a man to be since it is the natural sign of the mother. It is very emotional as it is a "water" sign, so you are dealing with a guy who can tell you when he is in bed "Oh, you are everything, Baby" and then the next day his emotions can change and he wants to be on his own. The fact that he didn't want to meet your mother, but he has had sex with you just seems like a "Red Flag". He should want to know more about your family and you certainly need to know a LOT about his, if you are thinking about marriage. A Cancer man is close to HIS mother, so if you don't "click" with her, then think about moving on as he will always side with her.

    How many former girlfriends has he had? Cancer always remembers and holds on to the past. They are very frugal with money, so learn that about him, if you have a difference in how you spend money. Most Cancer men want children, and they become the center of attention. What is your feelings on that?

    It would be best for a Cancer man not to get married until after he is 28 and had his first Saturn return, as then he will be less likely to hold onto his mother and her guidance.

    You're confusing and need to get a grip on your emotions...the reason he's withholding sex from you is because you got all emotional and freaked out over it the first time around, I think he's doing you a favor in taking things slow. So just go with it, live in the moment and stop over analyzing things. As to the question of separating sex from love, well he may be able to but its obvious you can't so once more, just go with the flow...you searching for sex sends mixed signals because the first time around you became insecure and emotional as a result, stick to one or the other, either you want sex or you want to take things slow--being indecisive only succeeds in sending a warning bell to the guy that you may be one of those "crazy" girls.

    More people do it than you think, and a lot of people that do it don't talk about it because of people like you, that find it discusting. Don't knock what you don't know.
