I admire my Cancer's financial estability an how hard he worked to achieve it, when he wanta something he doesn't stop until he gets it... Lately he is completely inmersed in research for this stock he invested in a few months ago, he reads online, signed up for message boards and is constantly talking, thinking and obsessing about it...

Do you guys tend to get obsessed and completely absorbed with a task or topic—

I haven't said anything about it because I know how important it is for him but I am beginning to feel ignored...

I totally agree they have a gift, they manage their finances in an admirable way, my sister is a Cancer and I remember her saving since she was a teenager, they are hard workers and methodical about their expenses... I wish i was like that...

Don't remind me.. I go mental on the things I focus on for about 2-3 weeks at a time. Trading stocks, Computers, Certain topics, Reading the news etc.
Also I still make money even if I don't have a job. It's just in my blood. 🙂

Some of that is hard wired IMHO into Cancers.
Secure finances=secure home=security for those you care about.
In the quest to get that security, Cancers can sometimes forget about the quality time you mention, especially if there are financial concerns.
They have to be reminded sometimes to ease up.

Agreed I can see that in mine, now how to remind him without accusing him on spending way too much time online... I know he will het defensive, maybe I'll try to distract him instead of complaining...

I've been reading here for a while and finally signed up. I was in a relationship with a cancer for a year and had a similar problem. He was always consumed with being online doing diffrent things with trading stocks being one of them. One day I asked him if I could use his ipad and he refused. I knew right then and their something was up. I'm not proud to admit this but after that I watched him use his pass code i went into his Ipad to see what was going on when he was in the shower one day. It turns out he was talking to multiple girls online behind my back! I was so angry but glad at the same time that I found out. I learned a lesson that too much Internet could lead to no good for guys. Dafna I hope evrything works out for you.

I identify with it totally. I can't multitask...its better for me to focus on one task at a time and give it my everything. Too many things at one time and I end up screwing everything.
