I am a leo and if someone breaks up with me my ego is hurt and even though i probably didn't like the person much it will make me go after them more but not in an obvoius sense but more of a I'm too proud to put myself out there but I will have you again just to make a point...silly but I'm working on it.

How do cancer's work after someone breaks up with them or they breakup with someone? Ex: If i breakup with a cancer man-how would he try to manipulate me to get back or visa versa?

I´d say they hold on, utill they are ready to be the one to let go, just so that they get the last word and get to kick you to the curb! 😄

A cancer female I know told me, that she had a boyfriend, who treated her like shit. But she didn´t kick him out untill she was 100 % ready. And she never looked back.
I have been deleted from a cancers life, and I am 100 % sure that he has no regrets in doing so and that I will never hear from him. But it took him 3-4 years.
This. Once a cancer is over you, it is done. Because they are so emotional and sentimental it takes a lot for them to finally let you go but by the time they let you go they are light years ahead of you and have already moved on. There is no getting them back. Point of no return. Even if you try some grand gesture they rarely will go back on their decision. They probably already gave you chance after chance.

Cancers are pretty tough that way.

I'm a cap. Dated a cancer years ago

Most cancer guys I know move on pretty quick.
Moving on isn't the same thing as letting go. Cancer males are great at the former, and suck big time at the latter.

That applies to a lot of people though when you break-up, assuming it was a long term deal. When that is the case it takes most people a decent amount of time to truly "let go" on an emotional level.

No, it doesn't. Most people let go, and then move on. Not the other way around. It's a big reason why in a lot, if not most breakups, one person has already let go, or lost any kind of emotional attachment before the breakup even happens. Even then, most people with this attachment still let it go, before moving on. It's the rational process, but the crab is far from rational because they always feel first. Before anything else.

Letting go of emotional attachment is indeed difficult for many people, but for Cancer in particular it is excruciatingly painful. Going back to exes; the current partner finding/running into the belongings of an ex that are kept out; finding the exes contact information and seeing that they are still friends on social media are all very common occurrences when dealing with crabs. Remember that this sign rules emotion, and anything involving it will prove difficult for Cancer suns, especially the males. You really have to hope for some solid placements and life experience to counteract, otherwise the crab is just a mess if emotionally attached to someone where discord is present.

Since they can't let go, they move on anyway, with the emotional attachment to the past person fully intact. What chance does the next person have with this crab? Absolutely none. Now all you have to see is the many, many threads on dxp griping about the emotionally distant, hot/cold, please put a screwdriver through my skull, Cancerian.

BTW, cancer's make awesome girlfriends. I feel like a lot the qualities inherent to cancer translate much better on women than on men. In my opinion. Cancer women are consistently attractive to me. Cancer men come off like huge p*ssies hiding behind huge inflated egos.
this is very interesting! I heard that this couple can be electrical! but I have never know anyone of these two signs to date (cap and cancer!) I'm sorry it didn't workout?

you didn't mind that she was sentimental and mushy sometimes? lol

She was a gemini moon and I'm a libra moon. I have Scorpio Mars and she had Cancer Venus so there was some good synastry working in our favor.

She was very much the kind of woman who was like "I take care of my man and I'm proud of it" which is music to most any Capricorn man's ear. Did I mind her mushy and sentimentality? Not really. It was endearing and it also lets me know she cares and Capricorns need that, even if they don't always show it. We need lots of reassurance. We both had similar upbringings. Both of us grew up with parents in loving marriages and had stable, happy upbringing. We were both close to our families which was a big point of similarity.

But she also had this very independent, very creative and sexual side. She loves exploring and trying new things. She loved changed. Our air moons jived very well.

The sex was straight awesome. Amazing.

The thing that annoyed me was she LOVED attention from other men. And she got plenty of it. But she also always was looking for it. Caps are loyal. That sh*t pissed me off.

The cancer men I know doesn't move on from his true love. (This one in particular) Yes, he might have casual hooks or even relationships but they don't last because he's forever comparing them to his true love. No matter who or what shes been through he's never to far away. Years have gone by and he's still holding on. Often neglecting those who have fallen for him. He seems to think she is destined to be with him.
Something like the movie, Notebook.

Yeah, we had some key synastry aspects in our favor.
We broke up when we kept fighting about immature things. We were really young. Finally, she picked up and left and that was pretty much it.

So whoever says Cancer's don't let go haven't met my ex. She peaced out and that was it. No amount of me trying to get her back worked.
Maybe it was her gemini moon?

Anyways, that was years ago.
