How to deal with partner constantly on their phone?
I've (36F) been with my partner (43M) for 15 years now. He's always been a scroller but it's become unbearably noticeable for the past few years now. When we put a movie on the TV he will sit there watching videos on his phone. When we go to the pub for a drink he'll sit on his phone and ignore me. If he's not on his phone he'll start talking about some video he saw then get his phone out and we all have to sit there for 2-3 minutes watching this stupid video. I have known him to come home from work and sit on the sofa scrolling literally non-stop for 2 or 3 hours.
I've brought it up a few times now but there'll always be some sort of excuse or justification like "well you were on your phone" just because I looked on Facebook for 10 minutes.
I'd say it might be an addiction but the thing is he can quite easily put the phone away and sit and have a conversation with other people, it's just when he's around me the phone comes out.
