I'm surrounded by people like you all the time and I can't stand it. It's a phone, not the elixir of life. Spend some quality time with your poor wife! No one should be second-best to a phone.
"People like you" meaning "people who at least one person personally believes uses their phone too much". Unless you're saying you know the OP personally?
Uh oh. Looks like that ruffled some feathers. I guess some folks here do actually know the OP personally and whether or not he actually does overuse his phone. Would you care to share your experiences?
If she wants conversation then she should initiate it. Especially if it's that serious that she locks your phone. If you really aren't communicating well make it a point to avoid your phone while she is around. Ask her how her day is or something :/
I'd be pissed. Payback.
If you have been guilty of that accusation, you need to take a break from the phone and start romancing the living sweet bees out of her while showing you can be apart of reality instead of off in the distance inside technology OP. If you are not guilty, you may want to have a serious discussion with your wife and let her know that accusation is far from the truth she believes about you being glued to the phone. Hopefully she will give you the password or else you may have to try and see if technical support can help you with a reset. I hope everything works out for you in the end.
How the **** did you type this I smell bullshit
Now, I'm curious what the FML community would think if the roles were reversed. Would you guys still have the same opinion? Or would the husband just be an immature prick? I think if he really hasn't been giving her enough attention, he needs to drop the phone off a bridge and go back to a flip phone, he's not ready for it yet. But if the wife is just being an attention freak ( and before anyone says anything, there is a certain level of attention you can expect from a SO, it is not infinite ) she needs to adjust her attitude, that isn't a mature way ( it is effective though ) to handle this.
I agree, loads of the FMLs on here would get such a different reaction if the genders were swapped.
I notice FML assumes that in any dispute between two people of different sexes, whatever is wrong is the male's fault. This is only one of many, many, many, MANY examples. The most egregious are cases of men having serious violence committed against them and being told they deserve it. Because men are big tough dumb brutes who can "take it", as opposed to women who are little helpless delicate china dolls who can't, I guess.
I don't know about the community as a whole, but I can see girls being phone-addicts more easily than I can see guys. Personally I'd think the idiot on the phone needs to lose phone privileges until they learn when it is ok to be on it and when it is not, regardless of gender.
In my opinion this FML is a bit vague. We don't really know if he really hasn't been paying attention to the wife or if she is just crazy.
But why let that stand in the way of concluding someone's guilt and giving them a nice holier-than-thou lecture?
Don't really know enough to vote. On the one hand, if OP's been spending all his time doing pointless things on his phone instead paying his wife the attention she deserves then he deserves it. But on the other hand, I guess he might have a lot of work to do which involves being on his phone, or she might just be overreacting.
My phone always gets more attention than my Gf. Single life

Well, have you?
Whatever happened to couples who talk and get through difficult times together? Everyone is so sue and "dump him/her" happy. It's sad.
