Phone addiction

[Bauer999]

Phone addiction help... My husband is addicted and it's wrecking our home life. If he's here then he's sat on the sofa on his phone. Doesn't matter if we are watching a film or TV together...he's on the phone. I wake in the middle of the night at 3/4am and he's on his phone. Today he's been on it constantly since 10.30am until now. It's 9pm.
I don't know what to do. If I say anything he gets angry.
Any advice.or help would be sincerely appreciated.

He's completely disengaged from your relationship and I assume he's not glued to his phone at work so he can stop when it matters.

You can't do anything to change him but you can decide what you want to do.

My ex was the same. I hated seeing him slobbed on the sofa fucking glued to the thing it made me really detest him. He never wanted to go out or do anything, had no get up and go and never spoke to me other than to nag me or criticise me. It’s clear he found the phone more interesting and it really hurt my self esteem. As PP says, I’m sure he managed not to be glued to it at work.

Does he gave an iPhone? They normally send a notification every Monday morning telling you how many hours screen time has been averaged that week. If he’s spending 12hrs some days that must be shocking to see it in writing.

I think it’s more important to ask how this is affecting you and whether you are prepared to put up with this, it sounds miserable x

We were in a wonderful farm shop today that also has a cafe , beside a river which you see from the cafe .
Our table was in the middle of the cafe but in view of the river as were the several tables in front of us. We could see 5 tables with 2 - 6 people sat on them .
At least every table had at least one person on their phone looking at something , often more . I commented to my dh it was sad they were in a lovely place but still chose to looking at their phone rather than admire the view , soak up the atmosphere of engage with the people around them . We are in an epidemic . My dh ( somewhat cruelly ) calls them phone zombies .
