Hi all, I would like some feedback on how Cancers "get over" someone we really want to be with. In my experience If we dont want you...then its no problem 🙂
But OMG woe is the Cancer that is still hanging on!!! LOL

So Lets hear it!!!!

well, if they're anything like my first boyfriend (who is a cancer)... they don't! or at least time is the only way.

he threatened to kill himself to guilt-trip me back or something and he would randomly email me throughout the years while he was drunk. i broke up with him in 2001. he finally stopped trying to contact me last year when i basically had to be mean and tell him to fuck off. i'm still not sure that he's over me though. i just don't hear about it anymore.

It is so so hard.. I had to go through something really hard myself just 5 months ago. And once again.. same guy. I love him so much, more than I've ever loved any other man. But it's so confusing, when he's standing in front of I didn't feel the same about him. My heart wasn't in it all the way, probably me forcing my mind to feel that. It's a constant war between my mind and my heart, causing turmoil for me later. I am much stronger now, and won't melt if he comes in my presence or calls, or break if he doesn't call or doesn't follow through on what he says/does. If it comes to me dumping someone or anyone in the past.. I literally forgot about a guy in a day before. But I haven't been able to shake this guy off, and it's been years on/off and I hate that anyone can have that kind of hold on me.

We don't, but life moves on! Time heals all wounds. Eventually we'll stop feeling sorry for ourselves and realize there's too much life to live hanging onto a past relationship that didn't work out.

My first love and I (he is a Cancer as well) broke up years ago, but we still have a place in our hearts for each other. But we both moved on...that's life.

Of course it will hurt like hell at first, but no one said it would be easy.

In order to get over it, you have to give yourself time, occupy your time with the things you LOVE to do, rebuild confidence and get back in the game.

It's simple in words, but hard to accomplish. Eventually we do and we do it well 😉

I get over it by just forgetting the person and moving on. I had to deal with a breakup a while back, it took about 9 months before I stopped thinking of her all the time, then I was over it for good and free. Now I never think about her unless someone mentions her, I've got a lot of good things going on in my life and there isn't enough time in the world to live in the past worrying about what might have been. Yeah she was great, but so are a lot of the other girls I've met since then and one of them is probably a better match.

Just get over it, forget the other person, move on, and push them out of my life forever. That's how I deal.

Another water sign chiming in.....

To get over someone you gotta kill em 😉 hehehe damn us Scorps.

Really what I mean is to kill them off in your mind, your heart, everything. Pretend they don't exsist and let them lay to rest. Have your mourning period and then move on.

It's not as easy as it sounds but I find that to be the best way. 😄

"How do Cancer's "GetOver" loss of a Relationship"

That is one damn good question. The only persons who can answer it are
either Cancers themselves of those who dated a Cancer 10 years ago! lol

It depends on how much I cared about the relationship. What I invested.

Like something Gingerscorp said, he and everything we shared DIED.
