Though other signs may perceive a grief-stricken Leo's behavior as overly dramatic (I know a Leo who wore a black veil for ten days after her breakup), their expressions of pain are genuine and they need their close friends to help them heal.
It is important for Leos to feel adored and appreciated by their partner. Thus, they are likely to regret ending a relationship with someone who gave them a lot of attention. But this won't happen often. Also, Leos don't change their mind too frequently.
So, when their ex mentions about a possible breakup, they will immediately move on right then and there, because to Leos, their self-worth is much more important than bowing down to hurt and past grudges. They will also never think about getting back with their partner, no matter what.
Leos, who appear to be dominant and carefree, are actually soft from the inside. Once they fall in love with their partners, they become too attached. So attached that they cannot get over them after they even break up.
According to Comet, Leos would be hurt most by a partner who wounds their ego. "Leo is a proud sign," she says. "If their partner does something to make them look dumb, especially publicly, this is unforgivable for them." As a fixed sign, Leo also values loyalty.
A Leo's initial reaction to an unexpected split is often complete shock that someone could lose interest in them, followed by devastating anguish. During a breakup, Leos feel as if their sun has been eclipsed. It's a totally heart-wrenching experience, and these lions aren't afraid to showcase their suffering.
Leos are ruthless lovers. They are either in or out when it comes to relationships. Although they will keep you in their thoughts while looking for ways to come out clean, they won't flinch while breaking your heart. It's when you feel the sting in your heart that assures they are not into you anymore.
They tend to self-identify closely to their relationships so there is a lot of pride they feel they are losing going through a breakup. A Leo will make it their mission to have as much fun as possible post-breakup, however, and you can find them out and about, enjoying their life nonetheless.
1. Leo. Leos definitely get over a breakup the fastest. It's simply not in your nature to let yourself wallow for long.
Though they probably won't be looking to make up, Leos may contact an ex if only to see whether that ex will text them back. If they do hear back, they're sure to love the attention (and, let's be real, the drama). If they don't get a text back? Leos will love lamenting about it to all their friends.
Leo's need their space and you have to understand this as a basic characteristic to have if you want them in your life long term. Clingy folks stay away. Leo's like strong and independent people else quickly lose interest and respect for you.
She may start to withdraw from you physically.
In addition to withdrawing emotionally, a Leo woman may also start to withdraw from the person who hurt her physically. She may stop wanting to be around them and may even start to avoid physical contact with them.
Leo: Leos express themselves freely and hardly ever hold back. However, their emotions may not be received in the same spirit as many a times, they are too overwhelming for others.
Leos have strong emotional and physical ties to their hearts. They are sensitive because they tend to take grief and unpleasant feelings quite seriously. Their pride means everything to them, so when it is wounded, they are powerless to contain their tears.
Who are Leos most compatible with? Leos tend to gravitate towards fellow fixed signs, Scorpio and Aquarius. Scorpios understand Leo's need for loyalty, and they both crave a lot of intensity when they're dating someone.
If Leo wants to end a relationship with you, he will likely address any problems in your connection. Not intending to cause harm, he is merely stating what is necessary to make his point clear. You can make Leo so furious or enraged that he expresses his true feelings, resulting in heartbreak.
Leos can hold a grudge forever. They will definitely let you know that they don't want you in their life. However, if you can't take the hint or if you hurt them really bad, they will straight away push you out of their lives.
When a Leo man misses you, he will likely express concern for your well-being. He might start asking you how you're doing, inquire about your daily life, or check in to see if you need anything.
You push love away because you're terrified of settling.
As a Leo, you know your worth. You don't want to end up with someone who doesn't deserve you, who you feel like you could do better than. As such, you're incredibly picky when it comes to dating.
You know they're falling out of love with you when they begin to look for other sources of admiration. Leo's love to be admired, and usually you're the number one source who gives it to them, but when they start looking for affection in other places it's because they're no longer in love.
LEO: Leos stress on showing their sadness and anger to others. And if someone ignores their feelings, they could act as victims and could grumble about every small thing.
They love attention and being the center of the spotlight. They have a natural flair for drama and theatrics and often command attention wherever they go. When Leos feel ignored or overlooked, they may become moody or temperamental and may even throw a tantrum to get the attention they crave.
They are interested in something, but it's not a relationship. Leos are actually very literal with their mixed messages: they do want you around sometimes (usually for sex) but they aren't interested in more.
