Ugh. Need advice on Husband and phone.
Alright, even though I may act like he is a nut, my husband is pretty freaking perfect (I am the nut). He has only two "fatal" flaws that make me want to beat my head against the wall - his inability to drive like a human being/doesn't wear his seatbelt and his inability to close a cabinet door/drawer after he opens it.
But I have discovered another thanks to the Samsung Captivate.
He is CONSTANTLY messing with his new damn phone. Fantasty sports are his vice, which I appreciate, but now he is constantly in his email or on message boards talking about sports. Yesterday we were ordering dinner in Panera and while we are ordering he was playing around on his phone. That is so freaking rude. We were actually meeting people there for dinner so while we are EATING DINNER with friends he is...on his phone. Sunday we were visiting his grandparents with his daughter and I look over and he is..ON HIS PHONE. I understand that it is a new fun toy but there is a time and place for everything and he hasn't quite figured that out yet. For crying outloud, he is 28 years old, do I really have to tell him in the middle of dinner to put his phone up? Seriously. So embarrassing. And this is why I hate the I Phone so much because when they first came out people were constantly playing around with them in public and its rude. And now? My husband is one of them.
Have you all had an issue with this? What should I do?
Re: Ugh. Need advice on Husband and phone.
H was like this when he got his first iPhone (way back when in 2007, when they first came out). Even when he upgrades to new ones, he's always on there. (which is why i'm glad it's dead right now and we're not getting him a new one until october, but that's another story)
I thought about giving him a dose of his own medicine, but I just can't stay on my phone for hours at a time, no matter what the situation. I finally had to sit him down and tell him, "Look. I know your phone is a nice, shiny toy. But there's a time and place for everything, and playing with your phone is not a life or death situation." I actually had to set ground rules for him: no playing with the phone at dinner, while JJ's awake or while we're out with friends. I know it sounds childish, but it worked for us.
I'm so glad my H isn't addicted to his phone (he is addicted to mine though...). If I were you I would discreetly send him a text message during one of his marathon phone sessions saying something like "I love you honey and I'm glad you like your phone, but I want to spend time with you - not you AND your phone."

This. But my message wouldn't be as sweet.
I sent him a message last week that said "If we get divorced you are getting custody of the cats." He was not happy.
