[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Alright. At the risk of sounding like a 16 year old girl, I’m going to ask a question about issues I’m having with my boyfriend texting me.

I’m 33. He’s 36. He is habitually on his phone. We’ve had fights about it. I’ve let him know he needs to be present with me. He has tried hard to be more conscious of his phone usage when we’re together, but he’s explained he has a lot going on and will often need to respond to an email, call, or text urgently. He asked me to please be understanding of his work and family responsibilities when this happens, and he said he’d try hard to put it down more when we’re together. Fine.

This man who is on his phone so often that I’ve had to eat meals in silence while looking around a restaurant because he’s using his phone for whatever has started taking 5-6 hours to reply to a text from me. When I ask if anything is wrong or if he wants to talk about something (since I’ve gathered he’s losing interest), he’s adamant that he’s happy with me and nothing is wrong. Still, I find it pretty insulting that the man who can’t leave his phone alone for 30 minutes when we’re together is taking 6 hours to respond to me.

I’ve already asked if something’s up. He insists we’re all good. Should I just stop responding to him as well? I KNOW he’s not too busy to get back to me. I’ve seen him text while driving down the highway. WWYD, honestly?

Personally, I find full adults(as opposed to teens) who are slavishly, obsessively and near continuously fixated on their phones as defective and deficient in character.  I view them as intellectually inferior, likely emotionally stunted and associations/relationships with them would be limited and superficial.

You should move on.

You sound rigid and of poor moral character. [/quote]

I guess this hit home for you - you should give some reflection and thought to your relationship with your phone.
