Because you should never feel as the the phone screen is more important than you are.
“A partner may feel every time they walk in a room, their partner is on social media, as though they can never put their phone down.” —Tracy Crossley, behavioral relationship expert
Make a list of the reasons why social media matters in your relationship. This will help you identify what your boundaries are, if you don’t know already. Ask yourself why you share and post. Is it because you’re proud of it? Do you typically share other intimate aspects of your life? If you avoid posting your relationship altogether, why? You can also ask your partner the same questions to get their perspective.
Address what bothers you about their social media usage by asking open-ended questions. Lean into curiosity rather than rebuking your partner. “When healthy compromise becomes an active part of a relationship, both parties get to feel safe, respected, valued, and, thus, encouraged to make requests and express their perspectives without fear of shame, conflict, or rejection,” she adds.
