Cancers and cheating

Why Cancer Men May Stay Despite Infidelity

Cancer men often stay after cheating due to emotional investment, denial, or a desire to preserve the relationship despite betrayal. They may struggle to accept infidelity because admitting it challenges their self-image and trust. Their loyalty and fear of change can outweigh the hurt caused by cheating, especially if they believe in fixing the relationship.

So I've whitnessed several different times another sign cheating on a few of the Cancer men friends in my life. Emotionally Cheating, (texting and talking to her ex still) and one woman physically, 2 different gentlemen. The one with the physically cheating woman is more in denial about it. A few of my friends and I are trying to understand why they won't leave.

But Cancer men, what makes you guys want to stay if a woman has cheated emotionally. And what makes you want to stay if a woman is cheating physically. Does it have to does with how many times that person has cheated or why? Very curious

From my own experience in watching Cancer men, they don't get emotionally invested easily. Once they do, they are the "for better or worse" types. And some will stick their head in the sand, even if there are neon signs pointing to infidelity of any type. Not because they don't logically get it, but because to acknowledge that their partner is cheating, is saying that they, themselves, picked the wrong partner. Their ego sometimes won't allow them to admit to it, so they ignore it. Also, I think their mind can live in a bit of delusion and say "it isn't happening" until they view the act in person, or until their partner admits to it fully.

😂😂😂😂 OMG I remember asking my best friend Cancer male why does he stay with the girls' who had cheated on him.

He said, "Only to make them regret that I was a good person. Loyal only to them while karma serves them later on. And I had them run back begging for me cause they realize it too late."

But now he is with someone who he loves truly, I hope.

"They love mutable women"

I like fixed chicks, with an exception of dating my opposite sign.. So this doesn't happen to me..

They need to get their shit together. That's all.

Cancer is a fearful sign. Remember, underneath that hard shell is a soft center, which is easily harmed. It's not uncommon for Cancerians to struggle with confidence, or for us to fear the unknown. Sometimes we'll stick around because we're afraid. The person who cheated hurt the poor crab deeply, but they're familiar. To leave and be on his/her own and starting over again in the dating world can be terrifying to the crab. Sometimes it's just easier to stay in the relationship and try to work it out. If the couple have a child together, the Cancerian being a highly devoted parent will also stay to keep the family together for the child's sake. Family and security are vital to a crab's happiness.

Most Crab girls I know are pretty hot. Hard to imagine why a man would cheat on one, but I guess some dudes are like that.

I would never suggest that someone (regardless of sign) stay in a relationship with a cheater. Once that can of worms is opened, it's time to vacate the premises and find a new start elsewhere.

I have spoken.

Behonest I met ones who don't give a fuck. It's like they truly are disconnected. For example I know a guy in my pass..I seen his wife with other guys. And I know he seen this shit But this cancer man is so disconnected. Just emotional dead inside. As long as his wife cook, clean ,and doin all the wife shit he don't give a dam. I wonder if her was doing his thing..but he just seem detach.
