3 Codependent Zodiac Couples

For some couples, the idea of a healthy level of distance is far from a bad thing. Giving each member of the relationship the freedom and opportunity to pursue their own interests, an occasional separation now and again can go a long way in strengthening the structural foundation of most relationships. For other people, however, the idea of going days, weeks, perhaps even months without seeing their partner is a fate worse than death, putting their entire relationship into jeopardy whenever they’re apart from their lover for too long a time.

Taurus+Cancer

In every avenue of life, both Taurus and Cancer crave a steady supply of predictability, especially when it comes to a stable home life (Taurus) and a constant stream of love and affection (Cancer). Whenever these two signs stray apart, then, their entire life is thrown off balance. Having constructed a rigid schedule around their relationship, Taurus will always want their partner back in their life, feeling incomplete whenever their lover bids them farewell for long periods of time. Similarly, Cancer is always looking for signs of affirmation from their partner, be it a quick peck on the cheek or a firm hug that says “You’re amazing, honey.” Without these, both signs struggle to find peace when they’re on their own, counting down the minutes until they reunite with their significant other.

Leo+Pisces

In many respects, Leo and Pisces aren’t exactly the most ideal pairing, simply because they possess far more dissimilarities than they do overarching commonalities. While some couples automatically click the moment they first meet, a Leo and Pisces’ relationship needs time to grow and settle, requiring each partner to put in a mutual amount of time and effort to make their romance work. As a result, whenever they’re forced to separate for prolonged periods, they can’t help but feel their romantic attachment to one another start to wither away, diminishing all the energy they spent into helping their relationship flourish and evolve.

Gemini+Capricorn

Like the aforementioned pairing of Leo and Pisces, Gemini and Capricorn don’t typically work as a romantic couple. Yet so long as each person is putting in a mutual amount of effort, their relationship could defy expectations, leading to a romantic union as luminous and beautiful as Cancer and Scorpio or Aries and Sagittarius. Given the overall importance time plays on the development of their relationship, these two signs can’t help but express frustration and disappointment whenever they’re forced to go without seeing each other for longer periods. Only when they’re together in-person can they see for themselves whether the relationship is working or not, causing them to doubt the feasibility of their pairing whenever they spend too much time apart.
