You could say that I have a little experience in this area!
I noticed H's increase in texting a few months before bomb. It irritated me then, and it still irritates me now.
But, I have learned that while I can't control H's cell phone usage, I can control how I react to it.
The best advice I can give is to say nothing about what she does with her phone. I suggest not even being in the same room while she's texting. It only tortures YOU, so why put yourself through that?
H and I had fights pre-bomb about his texting. And you know what it changed? Nada.
And one of the things he told me that ticked him off was that I gave him dirty looks. He was right. I was doing it without even realizing it. It just made me so made when he would ignore the kids to constantly text. I still hate when he ignores them.
Keep thinking of your W as a teenager. They do love their phones!
All we can do is to control us. I try to set a good example with my phone usage (no phone at table during meals, no ignoring kids). Funny thing, I have found that my H will inquire about what I'm doing on my phone and who I'm texting.
You never know when your wife may be secretly watching you
T^2 and rH give such great advice, read it over and over.
You can do this my friend!
