Hello peeps, I have been married for 2 years nw. Though all is being going on fine, we don't fight nor argue over anytin. But lately, he's been so attached to his phone. He's either nairalanding or chatting and attimes checking some girls nude pixes.I av told him several times abt dis phone attachment bt all to deaf ears. Please what can I do put all dis behind? I don't wanna break his phone(I wish I could attimes) |

[s]lols. Oya tell us his NL moniker so we can ban him. [/s]....just kidding Are you bad @ keeping a conversation going? Or is he? Do you listen to him when he wants to talk? I'm just trying to create reasons for his phone addiction. Obviously he is an awesome man, who doesn't abuse you in any form. His change is recent, meaning something changed "recently" too. Talk (not shout) to him, let him know gadgets can't give you both fond memories. He should talk to you, not random people he met on cyberspace. The fact that he checks unclad pics is alarming. As much as I won't want to put the blame on you- neither do I want you to blame yourself. It could be his personal struggle not any of your fault. I would still suggest you show him some flesh. *initiate fun s*xual activities. Probably he is bored and getting the fun online. You guys should create rules E.g : no touching of phones when together. Etc. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

My dear, you can't change him by force. My gf complained about it then that she even tagged be to be antisocial cos I don't socialize easily but always with my phone browsing, anyway, it nearly cost me my relationship but I stopped it eventually when my gf started being busy with her phone like me and I started complaining as she was doing. Get busy with your own phone, he go run beg for attention. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Dont be too aggressive about it. When you want to catch a thief, you behave like a thief. So just say ; "Honey, you have a demanding job with difficult hours and I really appreciate the effort you put into it. I know I get frustrated when you have to take a call or respond to an urgent message from work but it's because I really look forward to spending time with you. If we could designate times when we both turned off our phones, I would feel much less frustrated and I could be more supportive. I really want us to enjoy our free time together and focus on each other and I know we could figure out something that works for both of us." 4 Likes 1 Share |

Dear sis, I understand your situation. guess what? Mine is complaining exactly of the same thing, trying to change though The truth is I was a gadget addict before we met, meeting her changed everything and sometimes I dont even remember my devices for a whole day. Then she started this new attitude of sleeping off throughout the day which normally gets me bored especially during the weekends when am home fully, complained about this a lot, she tried changing but sometimes nature is so hard to cheat, I just found out that I started gettin addicted to my gadgets again afterwards. the issue now is she has stopped the over-sleepin attitude but am just so into my stuffs. Ask yourself, what do u really feel has changed in you that made him embrace his gadget? when you find out, just make sure you drop that and go back to your old self, then he will gradually leave his alternative love.. with time. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Yomieluv: @Ronie24: Don't do this because it may create more problems. A lot of practical suggestions have been offered above. I want to emphasize that you should ascertain why he is getting attached to his phone. I see a communication disconnect here. Maybe he is no longer enjoying having conversations with you. About the unclad pics, you need to have a frank, honest heart to heart talk with him. Find out what satisfaction he is deriving from them that you are not offering him. That may likely make him remorseful. You need to act quickly on this before it escalates into something else. Lastly, rekindle the 'fire'. Ladies sometimes take this for granted once they are settled in a man's home. Wish you the best. |

Phone addiction is embarrassing, I wonder how you choose your virtual friends over someone right in front of you. Op.... Pele sogbor Open up to him and tell him you don't like it.... It's disrespecting..... #if you have to compete for his attention.... |

I don't think I have seen anyone so addicted to his/her phone and gadgets like me. Could remember my better half complaining about it to no avail. Friends and colleagues equally complain a lot about my phone addiction. It is so worst that I will be talking with a customer and be pressing my phone. In fact, as I type this right now I am at the balcony pressing my phone because there is bad network reception since yesterday. Solution: Study your husband to discover his weakness/soft spot for you. That works like maghic whenever madam needs my attention. She will just pretend to be crying knowing that I can bluff all her tactics but not her tears. I will just quickly log off and hand over the phone to her till we are done with meals or discussions as the case maybe. Then she will happily hand back my device to me with smile. My dear, when it comes to union and marriage, wisdom is the key. Exploit his weakness in a positive way, you can't help but laugh at the speed he will become humble just to put a smile on his soulmate's face. 1 Like |
