Some signs don't forgive too easily.
By Helen Luc — Written on Dec 16, 2016
Sometimes, when you feel someone has wronged you, you hold on to resentment towards them. It’s normal to feel angry at those who have harmed you in the past.
Being angry allows you to feel a sense of righteousness over a situation. When you are angry, you recognize that you were treated unfairly and that the other person behaved wrongly.
Let’s say someone was treated badly by an ex in the past or they had a friend who treated them inconsiderately. For this person, being angry at an ex or an old friend feels justified, because these people behaved badly.
Anger is a normal reaction to being hurt or insulted, but it’s not always a good idea to keep old wounds open.
It’s normal and healthy to express anger — we all do things like throw tantrums and argue with loved ones — but when the anger turns to long-term bitterness, then it can hinder your sense of closure from the situation and can ruin future (and existing) relationships.
When you hold a grudge against someone, you feel hurt over their actions and remain bitter and angry about the situation. We get it; you’re angry and you feel betrayed. You don’t necessarily have to forgive and forget, but at some point — even if it is in the distant future — you do have to move on.
Holding on to grudges doesn't help fix anything, but people hold on to their anger anyway, because that’s what happens when emotional wounds run deep.
Some zodiac signs hate having their boundaries crossed and absolutely loathe the feeling of being hurt by a loved one. These signs will hold on to anger way past its expiration date. For these signs, forgiveness takes a long time.
To find out which 5 zodiac signs hold the LONGEST grudges, continue reading below.
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Aries are very short-tempered and like to be first in everything. An Aries woman hates being undermined or wronged by anyone because she KNOWS she deserves to be treated with the best respect. She will react with anger at anyone who crosses her. For example, if an Aries woman finds out her partner is cheating on her, she will first bring up a storm of arguments and then break up with him. She will cut her ex out of her life and remain disdainful of him even after years have passed; she simply can’t ever bring herself to forgive someone who betrayed her trust.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Taurus women are notoriously stubborn and uncompromising. A Taurus woman is powerful and can be hostile. If someone insults her, she will feel deeply betrayed, and she will always hold this against them. For example, if a friend hurts her feelings by spreading rumors about her, she will feel double-crossed, and she will never look at her friend the same way. She will remain mad at her friend for years to come, and she will probably never want to speak to her again.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
A Cancer is very loyal to her friends and loved ones, but if someone wrongs her, she will hold it against them for a long time. She is moody and pessimistic, so she will feel too hurt and betrayed to give people second chances. Cancers are very emotional when they are hurt, so it will take a long time for her to heal. She rarely stays friends with any of her exes because it hurts her too much to remember her failed relationships. She holds grudges against people who disappoint her. She is very sensitive, and she will remain resentful of whoever wronged her as long as she still feels hurt about the situation.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Scorpios hate dishonesty, and they are aggressive and distrusting of others. A Scorpio woman who has been wronged by someone will never be able to trust that person again and will always be suspicious of them. She will hold grudges against people who act dishonestly to her. If a Scorpio’s trust is betrayed in any way, she won't take it lightly. She values trust very highly, and she will not be afraid to cut dishonest people out of her life. Once someone wrongs her, she won't likely ever forgive them.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
One thing an Aquarius woman HATES is broken promises. If someone gets her hopes up and doesn’t keep their word, she will get very upset. She is especially unforgiving of liars and cheaters. Although a situation may leave her deeply hurt, she tends to run from emotional expression, so she handles her feelings of betrayal by remaining distant and cold to whoever hurt her. If someone is disloyal to her, she is not likely to warm up to them again.
