When a Cancer Might Stray

Cancer is not a natural cheater. Their infidelity is almost always a symptom, not a casual choice. It typically stems from:

  • Emotional Neglect: Feeling unseen, uncared for, or emotionally abandoned in their primary relationship.
  • Seeking Security: Paradoxically, they may cling to a new person who offers the comfort and validation they crave.
  • Passive Escape: Instead of confronting problems, they may retreat into a secret, comforting connection.
  • Revenge: If deeply hurt, their protective shell hardens, and they may act out to wound in return.

Their cheating is often preceded by withdrawal, extreme mood swings, and uncharacteristic secrecy about their phone or schedule.
