We have been married 4 - 5 years with so many ups n down but by the God's grace we are gaining balance now. But my husband just got a habit of always pressing his phone, while eating, talking evening wake up at midnight just to operate phone.

This habit has limited communication, sex, in fact anything at all couples can do. He goes to office in the morning, comes back by 6 or 7 :oo but all he will do for the rest of the day is phone.

l have talked to him several times about it but no change, I don't want to suspect anything but am getting tired of this union pls advice a sister tnx.

My take:
1. We all are attached to our phones in one way. You play with your phone too just like him the issue is he probably is more attached to his.

2. Give him a dose of his medicine. Although this could boomerang depending on his maturity. Start spending time with your phone too. Let it match with his own. Start doing unnecessary things on your phone. While doing it just laugh out loud. In fact, intentionally burn your food on the stove in the pretence that you're spending more time with your phone. Abandon some slight responsibilities all in the name of your phone. When you serve food for both of you, eat with one hand and press phone with the other. Do this not to spite him. While you're doing remember you need wisdom to know when you're over-stepping.

All the best smiley

Your husband is not alone. I'm more addicted than him. I don't think there's a solution other than get a non browsing phone. Deep down I know I'm addicted to phone but planning to shut down and deactivate all by September first. Discipline

Discipline is not shutting down and deactivating.

Discipline is having access to the phone there but still not touching it unless necessary.

I used to vex because of this issue before until I realised he's more current than I am. So, now I just use the opportunity to read the news and watch trending comedy and other videos with him. I no longer feel left out.

Easy as ABC. Start press phone, wake up for night just to press the phone. Laugh out loud when he's there. Smile when u chat. Jealousy must make am ask why u change.
Re: How Can I Stop My Husband's Phone Addiction? by Nobody: 2:08am On Jul 22, 2017

Re: How Can I Stop My Husband's Phone Addiction? by Iamzik: 2:36am On Jul 22, 2017
Op find out what he does on the phone. His favourite site or forum. Visit same site and discuss one or two current issues. You will be amazed how he will lighten up.

It's just like men who like football. If you watch with them or show interest you have won their hearts.

If it's game tell him you want to play too. Just show interest in what he is doing and don't be judgemental or confrontational as advised by some posters.

Also pressing Your Own phone like him will not solve the problem trust me. It will only make matters worse.

How is your intimacy and sex life? Are you an introvert? Any recent unresolved misunderstanding? Do you reach out to meet his emotional needs?

Talk to him in a loving way. Touch/cuddle him, look into his eyes, make out time to jist and find out about his job challenges. Are you the uptight, welcome -take-your food-goodnight kind of wife?

A man who is not enjoying intimacy will turn to the next exciting thing (in which case his phone is better than another woman for now) He's not necessarily cheating on you. Guess it's just a way to kill boredom.

Nuff said for now

I'm addicted to my phone too though my wife also complains sometimes but it doesn't affect our union or sex life in any way.

Now try to find out what does with that phone,if he is an online marketer like i am then you should leave him alone he is doing his work maybe that's where some of his income comes from but it shouldn't affect your marriage/sex life anyway!.
Re: How Can I Stop My Husband's Phone Addiction? by Sleekfun: 3:23am On Jul 22, 2017
it is easy as ABC, just get yourself also a spy phone, do the same thing, get busy with it all time, pay proper attention to your work too but always do the needful as a wife to get food ready and kids to school but whenever you feel like having conversation with him and he his on the phone, leave him, communicate with him via whatsapp even why he his next seat to you, have a good female friend that will receive your call anytime or family friend that you can laugh and talk a long time on the phone, when you do same to him, trust me he will change. May God bless your home. Shallom

I just hope you are not my wife? grin Same issues i had with my wife. She was complaining about my addiction with phone. The truth is when we are at work, we don't get to operate our phones often, once we are back home, we need to catch up with the current happenings online. Flirting with women online is FAR from it, it's just to update oneself, especially if he's a political analyst like me. He may be a nairalander, Linda Ikeji commenter, etc.

Talk to him about it, once he's at home; forget about watching Zee world, Nollywood channels, E!, etc that keeps him bored. Put channels you know he likes watching and see him forget his phone. Once i step into the sitting room, my wife changed to my favourite channels. Also put it in prayers, she was using it as a prayer point every morning, that was how I knew she wasn't happy about my addiction, so I changed. Good luck.

Crashed the phone with your raw meat in between your thigh, at least do that for two weeks without a break except when he is not @ home. Measured you give him no damn that you're hungry about him because if you allowed him the device would surely be your super rival. ...
Re: How Can I Stop My Husband's Phone Addiction? by YelloweWest: 3:47am On Jul 22, 2017
Op the best thing you can do right now is to ignore him!

Give a man and overdose of his mistress (be it work, phone , his friends or another woman) and he will come running back to u like a lost puppy!! Works like a charm.


Let him see u talking chatting on your phone 24/7. Giggle with excitement while u are at it. Totally ignore him. Don't start any conversation for a while and see what happens.

@OP, it seems like I am your husband. This is just my problem and my babe is seriously complaining about it. Sometimes she will take the phone from me and toss it aside. Being a matured man I am, I will laugh over it and romance starts because she thinks I am giving the phone more attention than her. Just use play and romance to stop it, that's all.

Same principle my wife employed too. It worked. She used 'play play' to stop it too.

Seat him down n discuss d issue wit him, from checking pple dat do work witout Internet alwayz try to catch up wit the tins online wit every little time they hv n maybe ur husband fall into dat category. After talking to him and the addiction is still dere, try n join him to press fon 4 a while too, and make sure u hv a very good phone to beat his type. Also pretend laughing physically while chating online to see his reaction.do some crazy stuff sometimes to piss him off, also request 4 site he usually visit and stay always online. With that 4 some month change will taught up with him. Nothing is as bad like sm1 beating u in ur own game.

You've already spoken to him.... all went in one ear and out the other. Action speak louder than words.... since you are on NL... when he comes home... just be on the bed in lingerie pressing phone... visit joke section and be laugjing..but not loud... just enough for him to barely overhear... pay him no attention. .. and should he try to talk to you... keep the conversation very short since he will be disturbing you from pressing. .... and always...always have your phone with you..... even in the shower... never give him the opportunity to even touch it... I guarantee he'll soon become allergic to his phone and pay you more than enough attention

approach him through the phone too.... chat with him, video chat while being nude, even constantly call his phone until his attention is totally focused on you

How do I advice you when I am guilty also. See how am also 'pressing ' my phone by 3:34 am. While my wife is sleeping by my side. I think we blame nairaland for the constant updates. I don't even read newspapers again. Always on nairaland.
