Who do you think is more willing to take the backseat?

I wanna say Cancer. I am currently talking with this Cancer guy and it is not as easy to get him to worship the ground i walk on as my ex Pisces who I have a feeling I will be reuniting with for the umpteenth time if i decide to flee away. I know deep down this Cancer guy is falling for me but he acts very shy sometimes. He is more kind than my pisces and I feel sure and secure with him but there is no bossing him around unfortunately...for now.

When I say submit I do not mean that I am being disrespectful or deceptive.
Interesting point though.

I don't think I'm stringing him a long. It's not like I don't have feelings for him too, I rather be with him but he's not rising up to my occasion.

Cancer is a cardinal sign, so expecting them to follow orders is going to prove difficult if not impossible.

Pisces is a mutable water sign, and works best with Cancer.

Do these statements answer your question?

Telling a cancer what to do? HAHAHA!!! One of my crab's signature lines is,"Don't tell me what to do!" Even though he says it in a joking manner whenever I tell him, instead of suggest to him (semantics), what to do he actually does feel that way.

So, with that being said, you don't verbally tell cancers what to do. You have to make them think it was all their idea.

My best friend dated a Cancer man who definitely had the upper hand. He wanted everything in the house to be "just so" and would do daily inspections!

I'd have to say Cancer. Both have the easy potential to submit, but I think Cancer does a little bit more for these reasons:

Pisces may act like they like being dominated but deep down inside they don't mind popping up 2 years later with a whip & handcuffs & saying, "Hold up! I run this!" Pisces may come off like little babies who need to be controlled, taken care of & pampered but oh boy, when a Pisces has had enough of being controlled, they will flip the script in a heartbeat. In other words, it's all an act with Pisces. They know how to play the role to get what they want in the moment but eventually, they end up giving up on the whole aspect of what it means to "settle." They'll surprise the hell out of you 1 day & have this big set of balls that you never thought they had!

While Cancer on the other hand is a little more complicated. Anytime someone functions primarily off their own emotions alone, there's always a higher chance that they'll be manipulated and/or subjected to be submissive. Emotions change all the time & from day to day. It's hard to erase or move on from emotions. If you break up with a Cancer, they'll spend the 1st half of the breakup trying to get you back & spend the other half STILL in that person's life b/c of their ability to over-analyze everything too death! When a Cancer is feeling a great sense of loss, they'll do anything to get that empowerment back; they'll do anything to burry any unfullfilling. And if that means being submissive or taking "crap" to get the job done or keep their emotions alive for someone, they will

I don't sleep on Pisces! They'll make you THINK (keyword) that their weak & harmless little creatures, but oh boy they have a reputation for all of the sudden & out of the blue coming out with the biggest set of balls/guts any of us have ever seen! I sometimes think they like the aspect of pretending to be weak/submissive, all so they can enjoy the moment when the other person realizes they've underestimated them! When a Pisces is done, they're done. It may take them a while to be done, but once they quit, they're done for good just like Aquas.

But Cancers, no...their emotions never die for anyone they've ever loved. They may successfully bury or suppress certain feelings/emotions, BUT all it takes if for the right person to come back, say & do the right things & their feelings/emotions will be re-activated all over again!

Wow!

Pisces...duh! The "other" sign of self-sacrifice.

Thing is, you can't boss the willing. If a pisces is giving of themselves to the point that it hurts (them), don't be foolish enough to think it's about you. Like those sick ass virgo fucks, they give selfishly (ti make themselves feel better as it's in their nature) but to an outsider, it appears to be selfless.

Even Mother Theresa was diggin on the fame 😛

Pisces, in my opinion, would be the easiest to boss around.

wow, I don't any Piscean that allows themselves to be bossed around or controlled .... do you know any other planets of this person you speak of?

The question was which of those specific 2 signs would be EASIER to boss around in a love relationship. It's not that either of them would be easy, but one might be easiER. Based on my own experiences with both signs, I would go with Pisces.

Of the Pisceans to which I am closest, one is a woman who stayed in a phsycially abusive relationship for decades. I don't know her other planets. The other has a Scorpio rising and is very dominant, but completely at the feet of women he loves.

It IS all about the love and self-sacrifice for Pisceans, and that's a beautiful thing. And then someone can come along who wants to manipulate that beautiful thing for their own selfish purposes.

Haha.. This is me 100% !! I will usually do anything for someone I care about because I WANT to but if I feel that someone is EXPECTING me to do something instead of APPRECIATING the things that I do I will intentionally do the opposite just to prove that they can not and will not control me!

And it's true.. Sometimes I will give someone the benefit of the doubt and put up with things for a little while and let them get comfortable thinking that I'm not going anywhere but in the meantime I am gradually disconnecting myself little by little without them knowing.. I already know that it will even be that more shocking to them when I do end up leaving when they least expect it!! Then when I finally do leave out of nowhere and they realize I am not coming back NO amount of crying or begging works, I am gone forever!

I can honestly say that out of most people I know I am the least able to control.. I let people think that they can but then they get rude awakening if they take advantage of my kindness and mistake it for weakness!
