Was thinking about how my bf who has a cancer mars is really in touch with his emotions and comfort with crying and being/showing emotional vulnerability. Which just got me thinking in general honestly. The black experience is so unique to every single individual but we are all connected by shared experiences and I was thinking about how difficult it is for black men to be and show emotional vulnerability.

Wanna hear from other cancer mars! Don’t feel like you are in touch with your own emotions? How do you express and show them? My bf is a Virgo sun w/ a Gemini moon and Pisces rising and he is more sentimental than I am and was just wondering about others. For reference I am a Taurus sun cap moon w/ a Leo rising and I have my mars in Aries.

I wanna hear from cancer mars but what to hear your take and experiences even if you aren’t a cancer mars. What’s your mars sign? How connected to your emotions are you?

my bf (m33) just broke the news to me (f34) that he’s moving to a different state. I am feeling so completely shattered I don’t know what to do or how we can keep this going. This is really sudden but a month ago my bf and his sister came home and found their mom non responsive on the living room floor. My bf did chest compressions but by the time help arrived on the scene she was pronounced DOA.

This was made especially devastating as it was a sudden death that happened out of nowhere. They didn’t have a big family they were closed to and my bf travels for work. His only loving relative that he’s close to his is sister who has an autoimmune disorder. Because of the nature of how they found their mom, his sister is ready to move out of their current home. With him not being close to any other family and already going through the trauma of suddenly losing his mom he isn’t willing to part ways with his sister obviously so he is deciding to move with her to a different state.

I’m so hurt but don’t know what I can really do. I’m not financially stable enough to follow him to a different state and even if I saved up it would take over 6 months, closer to a year before I could even begin to save up enough to move states. I don’t know what I’m going to do with him being so fucking far away.

I feel so emotionally overwhelmed, we just buried his mom not even a full week ago and now he’s leaving. Please, tell me and share how you make long distance relationships work??
