If Scorpio’s need to bury their emotions is too intense, there is a great chance they will be too rough or insensitive on their partner.
This is something Cancer will have difficulty coping with and could lead to Cancer’s need to separate because they could simply get tired from all the special or aggressive sexual requirements their Scorpio partner has.
Getting past the defenses calls for slow building of trust, with strategic soul baring and shows of affection.

Cancer and Scorpio are both signs with mega trust issues.
But that shared vulnerability brings out natural empathy, and fosters the atmosphere for something real.

My Scorpio man and I have been together for a little under 2 years and I believe we were destined to be together.
We've spent nearly every moment together since and we are both convinced we've found our soul mate. If it were anyone else this would seem crazy and hasty, but I feel like I've known this man for years.
I'm going to make sure the engagement lasts at least a year, but there's no doubt in my mind that we will be very happily married. that we can communicate with each other without speaking.
The sign of Scorpio is associated with death and all kinds of bad things, but all of their maliciousness comes from their emotional and sexual repression.
