PUA Forum :: My girlfriend is addicted to her phone.

Yeah... I know this problem all too well. I am the same as you, it irritates the fuck out of me. Even if we are just sitting watching tv it bothers me. If every time I look at her or want to talk to her she has her face in her phone I hate it. Is my company that boring you need it? If it is then fuck off lol... No need to be here if my company is so boring that you need that. I have tried so much to get her away from it and nothing has worked all that well. I honestly don't think it is a personal thing against me, it's more habitual/addiction but it still irritates the fuck out of me. I found playfully taking the phone from her worked at first but then after a while it just started pissing her off. Making a point to get her attention seems to work well sometimes, but then sometimes i feel that it just comes off as needy. probably what worked the best for me though is doing exactly what she does, pick up your phone, make sure that bastard is dinging non stop and it won't be long before she wants your attention.

feel like that was just a bit of a ramble so i apologise for the pain of reading it lol but i do suggest trying my last suggestion!! doesn't permanently fix anything but it's a good temporary fix.

Hi guys, Wondering if you can all help me with a problem I'm having with my girlfriend... She's addicted to her phone. We'll be out for dinner and she'll keep picking her phone up and checking Instagram or replying to one of her girlfriends. We'll be watching TV in bed or in the lounge and she'll just be browsing through endless photos on instagram or snapchatting/texting her girlfriends. She's not doing anything untoward on her phone, it's just bloody annoying and I've mentioned it to her but she just gets annoyed and says 'why does it matter, we are only watching tv and I'm just browsing'. We could be talking and if she gets a message, that's it, she'll deal with that first. I want to smash that phone in fucking two!! I guess in this digital age I'm not the only one that's experiencing this issue. I've been with her for three years - we love each other dearly, she's extremely attentive and a great girlfriend, but this being on the phone constantly is driving me absolutely crazy and I need some advice on how I can get her to stop sitting on it. Asking her doesn't work! Look forward to hearing from you guys. Berg

Sounds to me like you're overreacting a bit. If you're both performing braindead activities, like watching TV, why does it matter if she prefers the phone over that? On the other hand if you're having a conversation and she just puts you on hold every time the phone buzzes, then yeah, that's a problem. Point is, there's a line between being "rude" and being "normal". If they're "rude" I just playfully slap their hands or take the phone away.

Humanity wasn't built for being literally locked as slaves to tech gadgets. I laugh my ass off at everyone looking down at their phones while the world is out there to be seen and experienced and explored. Find a more cultured and sophisticated woman.

Didn't read properly but ask yourself why she's always on her phone. Sounds like you're boring and predictable. Maybe you're the type who does nothing but dinner dates and movie dates? I doubt she'd be on her phone if she thought she'd miss the next exciting thing you had planned...

I'd just tell her "Hey, when you respond to a message while we're talking it's annoying to me....It's been 3 years and I've tried not being annoyed and its still annoying. So let's stop that so when we spend time together and talk it's just you and me." Simple. If your chick really is this great gf and attentive as you say, the truth calmly is all you need. If she hears you say somethings annoyed you for 3 years, if she's attentive, she'd stop that shit immediately. If she doesnt stop it or argues that its ok for you to be annoyed or her phone is more important than your annoyance, then she is NOT attentive.

When I first read oceanx's reply to find a different woman, I thought it was pretty extreme. Now I kinda agree. Not looking at your cell phone for a while, especially when your bf tells you it's annoying is simple shit. I used to smoke cigarettes. You know what I did when a gf was bothered by me smoking cigarettes around them? I stopped smoking around them. Simple. And thats a REAL addiction. I stopped smoking cigarettes around them, because if I care about them, as you'd assume if they're by gf, I wouldnt want to knowingly bother someone with my addiction. Simple. Same way I didnt smoke around friends who didnt like smoke. You guys are dating some shitty gfs if they cant turn the phone off. They dont respect you. They dont give a fuck about you. If she worked a job where she couldnt look at her phone all the time, she'd stop looking at the phone for 8 hours a day. There is no reason these women cant do the same for you. And then they have the balls to be pissed at you guys for being irritated?! You guys are dating some selfish women if they cant at least do something simple to make you happy. I cant even blame the women, because why would they do anything to make you happy when you'll accept anything. Then you guys will wonder why the sex has dried up, she's talking to another dude and she's just selfish in other areas. Have some fucking standards. If your gf doesnt care about you for simple shit, she doesnt care about you for the bigger stuff.

I agree neo87. I actually feel for the zombies who are addicted to the dopamine rush that comes from constantly checking insta, twitter, fb, texts, and all of that. When they look back at life, their memories will be much more hollow than they would have been had they at least lived a more balanced life. "Oh yeahh, it was so funny when Amanda posted that meme on Facebook that one time." Really?
