If your Cancer man is angry at you, apologize to him. Offer a hug, cook his favorite meal, or do something else nice for him to show him that you are sorry, too!

Be understanding and patient when your Cancer man is mad. Focus on his needs. If he wants to vent, let him vent! Encourage him to express his anger in healthy and productive ways instead of bottling it up.

Your Cancer man likely won’t stay mad for long, especially if you do your best to cheer him up. He’ll appreciate your efforts.

Apologize to Him

How long will a Cancer man stay mad? A Cancer man might stay mad at you for a while, depending on what you did. If you apologize, though, he will likely forgive you more quickly.

Cancer men won’t typically hold grudges after someone apologizes, especially if they are sincere. If you say something insensitive but apologize and try not to do that again, your Cancer man won’t stay angry at you.

Your Cancer man will appreciate your apology. He might still need to talk things over or express some concerns, but it will help him to calm down.

When a Cancer man is done with you, he won’t accept your apology. If he tells you he forgives you, though, he means it. As long as you make an effort to be better in the future, you’ll be okay.

Is your Cancer man not communicating with you? Here's the trick to reel your Cancer back in.

Offer a Hug

What happens when a Cancer man gets mad? He will likely be incredibly moody and upset. He might need comfort, whether he’s mad at you or someone else.

Cancer men honestly don’t like to be angry. Some of them feel bad for being mad in the first place. Others don’t like how anger makes them act.

When your Cancer man is angry, offer a hug. This is a great way to seal the deal after apologizing or to provide comfort if you’re not the one he’s mad at.

Offer affection in other ways too. Let your Cancer man know that you’re there for him. Ask if he needs to vent or if there is anything else you can do to make him feel better.

A hug will usually help a Cancer man calm down. Just knowing that you’re there can cheer him up.

Let Him Express Himself

You should always let your Cancer man express himself. If he’s the type to fake a smile and not tell you when he’s angry, encourage him to be more expressive.

Telling him to get over his anger or to keep quiet about it is an example of what not to say to a Cancer man. Let your Cancer man express himself! It’s essential to express emotions, even anger, constructively and healthily.

When a Cancer man is hurt, angry, or upset, and he doesn’t express himself, that will make things worse. If he tries to smile when he’s not happy, his anger will eat him up inside.

Getting angry sometimes is perfectly normal. It’s not wrong to be frustrated sometimes. Encourage your Cancer man to talk to you when he feels angry. If he is expressing his anger healthily, don’t keep him from expressing it.

Do Something Nice for Him

When a Cancer man is mad, you can help calm him down by doing something nice for him.

Let your Cancer man express his anger, but try to help him de-stress. If he’s angry, something as simple as doing some extra chores or running an errand for him can help him feel better.

If your Cancer man is angry because you haven’t been spending time with him or because you’ve been failing to do things around the house, fix that! Even if he’s not angry at you, doing something nice can cheer him up.

What will make your Cancer man feel better depends on why he’s angry, who he’s mad at, and his preferences. Ask what you can do for him, or try to do something nice in general to make him feel better.

Be Understanding

Try to be understanding when your Cancer man is upset. If he’s angry at you about something, hear him out. Don’t get defensive or assume he’s being overdramatic.

Sometimes, hearing that someone else understands his feelings is all a Cancer man needs.

If he’s angry at someone else or about something he can’t control, you won’t always be able to fix it. He’s likely not looking for a solution from you in the first place, even if he talks to you about his problems.

Tell your Cancer man that his feelings are valid. Let him know that you understand why he’s angry. If you don’t understand why, ask him to explain.

Feeling understood will help a Cancer man feel better. Even if it’s difficult sometimes, try to be as understanding as possible, and that will help some of his anger go away.

Focus on His Needs

Do Cancer men hold grudges? Some do, but your Cancer man is unlikely to stay mad at you if you make it clear that you’re genuinely sorry. Focus on his needs and do what he needs to feel better, and he won’t hold a grudge.

Don’t think about what helps you calm down when you’re angry. Don’t focus entirely on yourself and your feelings after an argument. Ask your Cancer man what he needs to feel better.

Sometimes, your Cancer man will want to vent and talk through things. Other times, he might want to distract himself until he calms down. He might want space after an argument or may seek you out for comfort.

Give your Cancer man what he needs, and his anger will fade. He likely won’t stay truly angry for long when he feels loved and cared for.
