Thread: Hubby problems

My significant other is very into technology and is very into his iphone. One time he spent hours trying to figure out something in regards to making the computer stream to his playstation. He loves his iphone (but I do to), I never nag about it but at the same time if I am getting lonely or want his attention I know I can just go sit next to him or on his lap and usually (more than less) his attention turns towards me. Sometimes he will apologize about and then stop messing with his phone because he thinks he is neglecting me.

It drives men (most men) crazy that us women take so long to get ready (they just don't understand) so you can compare it to that.

I have to respect his love for his iphone though cause it really has helped us when we needed information, he even has downloaded apps that I can use. It's entertainment for our daughter (games).

I don't know how bad your husband is with putting all his attention into it. Unless it is taking too much time from you and he is lacking in responsibility or time with you then let him enjoy his technology. It is probably not that bad.

I actually think it's kinda cute that my significant other is so into it. I joke with him and say "you think technology will take over people one day, but it won't". He often shares with me some new "thing" he found his phone can do or he tries to explain some new technology way/thing (you can tell I am not that into it) and usually it sounds pretty cool.

nagging never helps, and usually only makes things worse.

some men turn to "other things" as a way of escaping when they feel like they don't matter, aren't important, or unhappy for some reason in their relationship.

maybe you two need to sit down and have a real discussion about your relationship, and be willing to listen and understand each other.

There's two sides to every disagreement, and then what really happened.

Thank you for the advice and words of wisdom. You may be right, I do tend to only look at my issuse and fail to look a little beyond me. Although we have been married for quite some time and I do feel that we have very open and good communication, I may not be giving him all of what he requires as far as conversation. Could be why he talks ands gives advice on sites like these. Could also be that our lives in the last few years have added lots of responsibility and our focus on the kids have suspended the focus on us for a minute. Thanks for helping me work this our for me at least! Now him!
