What is the deal with cancers and their ex's? My boyfriend dated a girl for awhile and she really hurt him. This was a couple of years ago. I've noticed him mentioning her every now and then, and it's starting to get to me because I'm worried he's not over her. But then I read that cancers have a hard time letting go of the past. I'm just not sure what to think?

UGH you guys are complicated souls!!!!!!

Cancers have a hard time letting go of the past thats true, but at the same time a mention of an ex wont mean they still have nice feelings for them, from time to time i mention an ex of two years ago in conversation with people, but i cant stand her, i wouldn't piss on her if she was on fire.
We rarely forget badness done toward us, we can hold grudges, he's probably remembering her for the bad things, i wouldn't worry too much.

Mentioning of ex doesn't mean an attachment. The cancers have difficulty in letting events go. So the ex maybe mentioned in relation with an event. Unless cancer gets over one relationship they cannot form another one.

My crab absolutely HATES his ex (sons mom) HATES her with a passion! Good thing she lives in a different town cuz man they fight every single time they talk... she truly is a bitch and gave him hell to see his son until he won custody of him. If she calls, he will immediately hand the phone over to his son cuz he can't stand talking to her, if he does, he'll talk for a short while and then suddenly out of the blue he'll say 'gotta go' and hangs up on her. Perfect example of how unforgiving a crab can be when he's dealt with TOO much shit... icy cold... this was 12 years ago btw!

As a cancer i have to agree with all that, we really will turn to ice once people have done wrong to us, i just said goodbye to two female friends in my life this week, because i felt i should, borderline of ignoring a third aswell from now on, over the top? possibly, but from time to time us cancers just say enough is enough, all out ruthlessness, ive been spring cleaning people from my life, extreme but neccessary for me to move on i think.

So how's a cancer man gonna be when his ex is back and they have a great friendship, share alot of special moments and he is in a relationship with someone else. The line has already been crossed once—
