DH can’t seem to put his phone down while on vacation

EVERY single time I see DH he is staring at his phone. Dinner, beach, pool, in bed, always staring at his phone. It makes me feel sad, disappointed and sometimes angry. Tomorrow is our last day of vacation and we don’t have one family picture. Every time there was a potential good shot, DH was too busy staring at his phone. I asked him to please leave his phone and he said I won’t let him relax.
I took a walk with the baby expecting DH to be spending quality time with our middle child and he was staring at his phone. He will sit in bed watching YouTube videos with our infant. He will go back to work and my memory of this trip is DH ignoring all of us for his phone. Is it so wrong of me to want DH to put his phone down during family time? When we are home and DH watches the kids, I usually come home to everyone staring at a screen. |

| I would be upset. Something is very wrong with his behavior. Can you do marriage counseling? |

| He is either addicted or not into you. We don’t do phones at meals. Also no screens in front of kids. |

I would not pin this on her. He's also ignoring the children, for God's sake. |

That is not good. But he won't change unless he wants to change.
Take your next vacation with your mom and leave him behind or book at a place with no wifi and no cell coverage: http://travel.cnn.com/10-anti-tech-getaways-best-places-escape-wired-world-905236/ https://www.oyster.com/hotels/theme/beach-hotels/roundups/paradise-unplugged-our-10-favorite-tech-free-havens/ https://www.tripstodiscover.com/top-16-off-the-grid-destinations-to-unplug-and-disconnect/ https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/15/pretty-places-without-internet-access_n_3961920.html |

| Sounds like you're much more boring than the internet. Try to be less boring and he'll put it down. |

You are responsible for your own happiness. Not your DH you are choosing to be sad and upset.
You want things to be 100% how you would do them all the time. Even without a phone you would have found something to be upset about. |

Just how are you posting on DCUM?
You are not spending time with your kids or you are doing so while with your kids. You are ignoring your husband and an attempt to have 1 good memory to whine on DCUM using your phone. |

| Does he look at vacations like it's a chore? I like staycations and I am attached to my phone (used to be attracted to a book) on away vacations. |

Are you insane? Did she say to never use your phone or the internet? Honestly curious about posts like these: are you trying to ruin this discussion board? |

| OP this sounds like my husband when he was having an affair. |

Bingo. It’s vacation. Unclench, OP. You’re projecting. |

This has got to be the dumbest response I have ever read. This may come as a surprise to you but this is a discussion board people can post their own opinions, and wait for it people don't always agree with you or the OP. Big shock coming, we don't have to mindlessly support OP just because she's female, that really kills discussion. |
