The Cancerian has a heart of emotion but will only expose their feelings gradually. When they feel their mate is trustworthy, they can find their long awaited security and only then commit themselves to anyone.

When Cancerians fall in love it is in totality. They have a special need for permanence in a relationship and are not interested in mere flirtations. Without love they lead unhappy and unfulfilled lives.

Cancerians find it difficult to let lose or to say good bye to a relationship. And they will sometimes choose to suffer the consequences of reuniting rather than to let go of the person or the relationship.
