Phubbing is when you disregard someone in the favour of your phone. This is very common these days, due to the fact that social media has gone crazy and you can virtually get anything done over the phone. Am of the opinion that this has ruined a lot of relationships. This has made a lot of relationship unhealthy, leaving your partner insecure, angry and uncared for.
So, what should you do if your being a phubber? According to Joanne Davila if your being a phubber then you should stop, but this is not easy at all. Being aware of the needs of your partner and making conscious effort to satisfy them is helpful to reduce phubbing. Also by taking a mutual approach and putting yourself in your partners shoes for a minute can help you realize how rude and unhealthy phubbing is. A recent study has shown that people who attend to their cell phones in the presence of their partner are less satisfied in their relationships (Robert & David, 2015). Phone snubbing.. are you guilty?
