Husband is constantly on his phone. Not even an over exaggeration, hes on it from the moment he wakes up. I would be half way through a conversation with him and he gets it out to start scrolling resulting in him not even listening to what I’m saying. Hes on it when he wakes, makes coffee, goes to the toliet , showers, playing with our 2 year old, social settings , food shopping, eating dinner , watching a film. You name it and hes glued to the phone. We visit his parents every weekend hes on the phone the entire time, when he finally put it down for a second I try and hide it so we can get at least a conversation out of him. The sheer panic to find it is concerning but I put it into airplane mode so it won’t even ring when he’s getting everyone to call it to find where it is. I know he’s not cheating or anything like that as he’s very open to what’s on the phone and what he’s doing it’s just doom scrolling or lad group chats all the time. It feels to me the only time he switches it off is when we are in bed and he’s after you know what.
Whenever I mention to him how obsessed he is with it he gets so defensive and really can’t see where I’m coming from. Does anyone know how I can approach him about this? It’s quiet literally taking over his life. I feel sorry for our son who probably doesn’t know who daddy is without the phone in one hand. I love my husband and we’ve got another child on the way I just want him to see there is so much more to life than going through instagram reels 😂
