Why are some cancers afraid to step out

What is it about Cancers that makes them want to be intimidate with an ex than someone new? I'm the ex love of a Cancer male. He's dated two women after me in which the last relationship didn't work out. Ofc theirs still love and strong chemistry there but I'm not getting why he won't seek a new consort.

I don't know why cancers are like this. Going back to my eexes is the HUGE mistake I always make. Put they say cancers always live in the past maybe that's why.

Cancers tend to cling to what they want. We also tend to have a hard time letting the past go and we "feel" so being with someone we have prior relations with is comfortable for us.

Cancers go where the comfort is. Cancers like security like banks. So to give you a loan for a house and the Pickett fence you gotta pass a background check and have good credit. If they check your credentials and it turns out you how a low credit score they will go back to what they know for 100% . Either that or they really love the ex. Sometimes if the ex is still cool they'll go back to the ex but only for friendship.

Starchild...what if he's told you that he never a goes back out with someone he's broken it off with, but is considering it this time. What's your take?

If he told you that then he really means it and probably loves you. He made a point to make it clear that he never does that shit for anyone so he's saying I will go back on my morals for you but warning if you duck this up I will break your legs then break your heart.
