He’s either texting, taking calls or looking at other people’s lives on facebook. When I drew his attention to it, he was massively offended and told me that only a partner would tell him to get off his phone, but he would refuse to do it for a friend. I find his obsession with texting, especially if he’s seeing someone, incredibly obsessive. I tried to raise it gently and considerately, but was told it was an off limits conversation and that I’m wrong. I’m actually really hurt.
