to hid my husbands phone?

[staticlunge]

I may have to hid my DH phone before I go nuclear with him. I realised last night he has completely disengaged from me and the kids and spends all the time not working, playing on his bloody phone.

I am having a really shit time at work at the moment so decided last night we would all go out for a quick bite to eat. Sat talking to the kids about their day, dad attached to his phone.

There is a potential new job, which is only three days a week. Substantially less money and further to travel but it would give me two days at home, time to study and time to try and keep the dump we live in clean. I try to talk to him last night about this and the situation at work, Low level bullying, and he is attached to his phone.

I'm seriously considering throwing the bloody thing though his woodchipper.

I'd love a wood chipper.

He might not have one soon

Meant to say hide not hid, busy morning and I can't spell any longer

This is incredibly annoying. I told my husband if he didn't step away from his lap top I'd perform a laptopectomy and shove it up his fucking arse.

It's not helped.

Although he had an argument with his father recently where he levelled the accusation at him that he never interacts with his grandchildren (our children) and just sits on his computer 24/7 - I sat there open-mouthed when he was telling me this, I mean, the hypocrisy. Anyway, I didn't say anything just let him rant and kept my thoughts to myself and he actually did say to me later that he saw that what he was telling his dad off for was stuff he was guilty of himself so that's something, at least.

My DH does this all the time. Bloody football gossip, drives me mental!!

Yanbu, hide the charger.

He would only go out and buy another. He never answers his phone, so it's not a problem for me

Mine is the same. He reads football gossip and plays those silly games like 'Tapped Out'. To be fair I'm normally on mn so I can't really complain and it could be worse ;)

YANBU. Tell him he can have his back after he's had the discussion with you about your job, and after he has sworn on his life not be such an arsehole again. And warn him that if he is an arsehole again, he'll lose it for ever.

YANBU. I would take it and fuck with the APN settings so the internet stops working and he won't know why. Or just text him repeatedly saying things like "stop playing Candy Crush and talk to me you knob". What is he actually doing on it?

Oh I love the idea of messing with the settings, it would do his head in. He is such a Luddite he wouldn't have a clue. Anything technical in this house me or the kids have to sort out.

I share your pain, DH fucks about on his computer or phone most evenings so I come on MN then he gets all sarky when he deigns to put his stuff down and wants some attention... then he wonders why I don't relish the thought of rampant sex after being ignored all evening

I really haven't noticed if my DH is on his phone all the time, I'll have a look in a bit when I have a break from MN

Change the language settings to Portuguese :D

Have you actually spoken to him about it?

I would but he's too busy looking for his phone

Mwahahaha!
