Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

This topic was created in the Cancer forum by DMV on Friday, April 17, 2020 and has 15 replies.

Why Absence Can Strengthen Cancer Relationships

Cancers often feel closer through longing and missing their partners. Absence can deepen emotional bonds by increasing appreciation and desire, making reunions more meaningful. This pattern aligns with Cancer's nurturing and sensitive nature, which values emotional connection and closeness.

I don’t like being insecure that I’m not gonna see someone again that’s not fun for me, but absense does make the heart grow fonder I guess 🤷‍♀️ I’m not sure I’m getting the question lol sorry 😂

I feel like as a cancer rising, I secretly get off on missing the object of my affection.

The longing makes me fall in love.

Maybe it's for the cancer who struggle with being clingy and independent. Enjoying the tension filled dance.

Tension is fun

I’m a cancer moon and I love the tension of missing someone. But I take it too far and then stay in my head too long. But I do miss the person I’m thinking about. They just don’t know it.

Id love to be able to miss Scorpios but they're so clingy.

Loners who constantly disappear aren't clingy. Sorry. Try again.

You’re up in every cancer thread; spewing your bitter heart out.

You’re clinging.

So that's the logic you're going with? Lmao. Y'all be all up in Scorpio threads to, and have been. Yet you don't call that clingy? I'm gonna say my shit and you all can take it how you wish. Obviously we don't cling for too long. I dumped my crab. Didnt your ex Scorpio hubby choose another too? Come again? If saying my peace wherever I wish is clingy to you, oh well. I post in other signs' boards too but no one else says it's clingy. Just wishful thinking on y'all part. Anything you need to say to convince yourselves you're desired.

How do i put this.

Relationships are easier in your head. So absence puts the relationship into the imaginary world.

Reality bites.

So yes absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Yes. I think I do suffer from a vivid imagination away from the object of affection.

Hoping that the imagination meets reality

Hey Cancers and those with cancer placements.

Yes. Cancer sun, lilith in cancer here. Privately, I want a love I am certain of and is reciprocated through non-verbals. I want to feel secure, and be kept on my toes.

I want you to draw pain in me and remind me of these two extreme emotional facets i have inside of me. Hook me then put me through enough pain to embolden me to stencil your name across the sky, and get on my knees and propose to you over and over agin every day for the rest of my life, sometimes in joking fashion, by slipping a jelly ring on your finger on my knee in a Dunkin Donuts setting, and other times in a beautiful restaurant with a brand new ring I bought you, while all the surrounding seals clap foolishly, (not realizing this has happened practically two, maybe three times a week since the day we met!)

But, *NEVER* cross boundaries. Never ignore my texts. if you're trying to "send a message" that I didn't measure up in some way, your response shouldn't be more than two days later. If it's dire, meaning on its last limb, 1 week. (My abandonment issues kick in. i have this issue and you must accept me for my flaws.) Also, when you speak to me privately, always be loving and graceful. If you're expressing something serious, be stern, don't waffle. If you're absent passion in our relationship, stir up your scorpio moon controversy, but look deep into my eyes and let me know to ::read-between-thee-lines-estupido::

Also, be able to take what you give. In all honesty, this might open a doorway for growth. If I employed doing something that you have done time and time again, in a subtle fashion, *don't piss off and never speak to me again, or ignore me* This is in response to your question, because I will not grow fond or miss someone who's hypocritical (a toxic quality that benefits no one's growth). Face it, I could walk out my door and pick out 10 hypocrites within a 3 block radius. Missing someone is subconscious and I guess it only happens when I really consider someone to be a special balance of all endearing, embraceable and strong qualities to learn and grow with.
