What is your way to relax after a hard day at work? Are you cuddling in front of the fireplace with your loved one, or do you like to drink your favorite drink while using the phone?

Unfortunately, in this modern age, there are more and more people who are choosing the latter option.

Phubbing has become a real problem and is one of the most common reasons for weakening emotional closeness between people.

All these virtual things are not and should not be more important than the real world. All those people you connect with online shouldn’t be more important than your loved ones, not even those you communicate with on a daily basis.

I know that it is nice to sometimes escape from our slightly boring and often harsh daily life in this perfect virtual world.

However, paying more attention to your mobile phone and constantly choosing this small glass box over the person you love will leave serious consequences for your relationship. Sometimes, this may damage it beyond repair.

You will grow apart

If you allow your smartphone to distract you from your partner, it will disconnect you from them emotionally.

If you choose to share exciting news with your Facebook audience instead of your partner, it means you are choosing your virtual life over them.

You won’t have a good time together anymore, and it will eventually lead to your breakup.

Your emotional bond will weaken

If your partner is talking to you about their day or work and gets half your attention while you’re scrolling through your phone, they’ll feel like you’re not listening at all or that you’re not listening to them. They care about things that are important to them.

Eventually, they will also stop communicating with you. Honestly, there is no healthy relationship without good communication. The bond between you will weaken, and you will be completely separated emotionally.

Trust issues will arise

It will definitely cause trust issues. Your partner will start to wonder if there is someone else in your life and if that person is the reason why you care more about your phone than you do with him.

Honestly, everyone would find it a bit creepy. When you truly love someone, you will never let them feel neglected, especially not because of something as insignificant as that glass box.

You will both feel lonely

Even if you spend every day together, and even if you live with each other, paying more attention to your smartphone than your partner will make you feel lonely in your relationship.

This distance between you will grow with each passing day, and this will be the beginning of a toxic relationship. Unfortunately, this may cause your partner to seek comfort in someone else.

They will get bored of you

Okay, let’s admit it, there’s nothing worse than talking to someone who pretends to listen to you when they’re actually giving all their attention to their phone.

Now imagine that you are in a relationship with this type of person. They can really frustrate you, and in fact, their behavior can lead to death.

Your intimate life will suffer too

It will also have serious consequences on your intimate life. At first, your partner is happy and content because your bedroom is the only place he can steal your attention away from your phone.

But eventually, that will change too. At first, you will only grow emotionally, but later a physical distance will appear between you as well.

He will become the main reason for all your quarrels

Your partner will feel neglected and even rejected all the time. They won’t be able to accept the fact that you pay more attention to your phone than you do to them, and it will make them doubt your sincerity.

They will start snooping on your phone, and will follow every step you take. Then you will not agree with their behavior, and that is the case, every day more and more disagreements and problems will appear.

Negative feelings will rise

I know this may sound a bit funny, but your partner will be jealous of your phone. They will also feel angry, hurt, and upset.

I mean who doesn’t? After all, they are replaced by a simple glass box.

Conclusion: Your relationship will be destroyed sooner or later

If you do not realize your problem in time, your relationship may not be salvageable. Your behavior may make your partner leave you permanently.

No one likes to feel neglected, especially by someone we truly love and care about. Don’t allow your smartphone to spoil the intimate relationship between you and your loved one.

Before you can start working on repairing and saving your relationship, you must first acknowledge the fact that you have a problem and come to terms with it.

Also, be prepared that it may be a bumpy ride, but if you truly love your partner, you will know that keeping them by your side is worth everything.
