This is in the words of a past member (a Crab) who has since left, on the topic of 'Crabs and moving on' -


We cancers feel a lot, and we like that.
Our feelings are bookmarks to our memories and our memories are literally a catalog of feelings.
We are natural hoarders, we hoard our feelings, because we love feelings and that's why we tend to have great memories. We just remember how we felt in a specific moment in time and that's all we really need, really.

It gets messy when it comes to past relationships.
Because we feel so much and the feelings-memory association dilemma.

Basically, we will always have those memories and feelings, we can't get rid of them even if we wanted to.
but it doesn't mean we will always give those feelings/memories the same value that we once did.

One day, your friend will wake up and acknowledge that she does have feelings to past ex and acknowledge the irrelevance of those feelings. That's when she would have moved on, according to cancers.


Have any of you cancers ever not been able to let go?
No.

Even though you don't want or are in love with an ex, you still aren't/weren't over them/the relationship?
I think every cancer needs to be single for a very long time post break up. Roughly half the time of the entire relationship (If the relationship was a year, they need to be single for 6 months and so on)

Were you able to move past if, if so, how did you? What helped you?
Intellectualizing the relationship, understanding what actually happened and time, lots of time.


(I hope that helps somewhat in response to your OP)
