Should I refuse to keep my husband company in the evening when he gets home from work, seeing as he completely refuses to put his phone away at all?

SW-User
Yes. Keep us company instead, we won't use our phones. Oh wait ...🤔
@SW-User LOL so much for heroics! 😜

I worked with someone who would get irritated when her husband would watch a football game, she’d undress and walk around in front of him and disrupt his game.
SW-User
@cherokeepatti lol great idea, I'm sure the kids would love this on a Sat afternoon.. LOL LOL
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@SW-User Might wanna save that idea for any time they are away.

Yes.

And if you are talking and he grabs his phone -stop mid sentence. Even mid word.
SW-User
@Flipper111 😊👍

I speak from experience :(. @SW-User

Oh dear. That's unfortunate. Maybe the phone causes his ears and empathy to not work?
SW-User
@CoffeeFirst it's something like that
CoffeeFirst · 56-60, F
@SW-User Turn off the wi fi before he gets home. That will buy you 5 min.

I can't understand why he would act like that. Am sorry. He doesn't deserve the company
SW-User
@UpsideOutInsideDown I'll show him this. HAHAHA
UpsideOutInsideDown · 36-40, M
@SW-User just show him the whole rest of the men in the world. He'll see there's no shortage of folk who'd eagerly swap with him!

OMG my wife is the same way and it drives me insane.

@Harmonium1923 Bummer. Flower emergencies?
Divorce...it's called divorce
SW-User
Ideally you should be able to talk to him about it and he'd want to find a compromise where he'd spend just a set amount of time on it then the rest with you. If he still can't give you his full attention as he keeps thinking about his phone then that would suggest a bigger issue.

The odd time I might get a works text message to say something has changed for tomorrow. But never get work emails at night.is he the boss if so maybe people need to know stuff for the next day if it's a shift work thing
QuietEd2019 · 31-35, M
Aww 😞😥😥😥 sorry there is trouble and bitter feelings in your household
SW-User
@QuietEd2019 He has an iphone and they're the worst, even just sitting there all the alerts for wattsapp or whatever pop up and the phone is never quiet
QuietEd2019 · 31-35, M
@SW-User all smartphones are like that though :/
QuietEd2019 · 31-35, M
@SW-User you are soo beautiful too would be the highlight of my day coming home to spend time with you ❤️
angie8819 · 56-60, F
When he’s on his phone are you on here
SW-User
@angie8819 we always do, I'm not fighting with him, just pissed off
angie8819 · 56-60, F
@SW-User we did you make up?
SW-User
@angie8819 kinda😅

Sounds like you need to find a diversion. Maybe a crafts class, exercising or something of the sort to get you out of the house. Make sure you are not at his call.
EnigmaticGeek · 61-69, M
I'd give almost anything to have someone in my life to come home to who wanted my company.

You deserve far better than you are getting from him.
Have you asked him what he’s doing in his phone?
@SW-User I see. Well why don’t you ask him to stop working?
SW-User
@DaveyWavey01 😂 😂 😂 I'm always asking him
@SW-User you need to encourage him then. Stand there with nothing but his favourite food, beer and a smile 😉
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
well he is preoccupied, will he even notice if you aren’t there?
SW-User
@cherokeepatti I don't think he cares tbh.. isn't it terrible..
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@SW-User yeah...he has a one-track mind but unfortunately it’s to the phone.
SW-User
@SW-User 😞
Adaydreambeliever · 56-60, F
Tough one that.. only you and he can decide... I am guessing you have tried talking to him about it? How you feel?
SW-User
@Adaydreambeliever Frustrated
SW-User
If he doesn’t put his phone away then it’s no real company. He needs to pay attention. Let me give Stephen strange a call.
Is it just his way of unwinding from his day?
@SW-User I bet that doesn’t feel great for you. At least you have a man with ambition. Schedule a date night without phones, maybe?
SW-User
@SeriouslyFlippant Annual vacation is the only time it stops
@SW-User That’s a long wait. 😕
Rutterman · 46-50, M
Yes. You could also go "Lysistrata" on him to drive home the message.
SW-User
@Rutterman lol, how wold that help me though🤭
Rutterman · 46-50, M
@SW-User Hopefully, that would get him to put the damn phone away, at least occasionally.
popmol · 22-25, M
no those people i hate the most like omg why you not enjoy with us (then sits on their phone!)
I would start making a habit of NOT being there in the evening eventually he might stop taking you for granted.
Beautywithin · 36-40, F
Also refuse to cook him dinner 😏
SW-User
@Beautywithin I made him dinner, he shall have to starve tomorrow. lol
DonaldTrumpet · 70-79, M
@Beautywithin everZ hereZ of takeaways
SW-User
@DonaldTrumpet Go away
SW-User
Yes he should prioritize you over the damn phone!!!!

MrsKatherineArch · 41-45, F
Boo! Tell him you need attention
GJOFJ3 · 61-69, M
Just send him very naughty texts
TrunkZ · 56-60, M
Text him, perhaps?
Show him this post 😈
SW-User
Spankies and beat him😡
SW-User
Roatlamb · 41-45, M
Buy a phone blocker that will make him all yours
SW-User
@Roatlamb I don't want to control him
Roatlamb · 41-45, M
Tex him then @SW-User
DonaldTrumpet · 70-79, M

SW-User
@DonaldTrumpet No, it's called LinkedIn
SW-User
@SW-User Jeez how can you spend all night on LinkedIn? I mean I read my feed on there probably daily and post a reply to someone once in a blue moon.
SW-User
@SW-User I honestly don't know 😂
