Married people after a long time , start complaining about their relationship that either it has boring or they don't talk much OR there is nothing to talk about, one of the reason is phubbing, people are spending too much time online than they are spending with their partners and with lack of communication among them problem arises and moreover recent studies showed that almost 60% of the people said that their partners give more attention to their smartphones than to them.
Are you doing this intentionally?
Recent facts say that most people do this unintentionally, the thing is "people are addicted to their phones." So, even if one is not with their partner they may be doing window shopping or are at work or simply driving the car then also they are constantly checking their phones, constantly looking for some update. People have become so addicted to their phones that recent study show that people don't like the food they are eating when they are using the phone side by side. Nowadays it has become the most common scenario in the families, family members are continuously using the phone while eating dinner or lunch especially the young generation.

Why are we doing this?
We don't realize it because no one complains and we continue to do what we used to do even in the company of our partner. Continue using your phone even when you are on a date, takes away your phone addiction to an entirely different level.
And even if your partner is not complaining this will effect him or her in the upcoming future. Stop doing this before its too late, best way to make this thing stop is to tell your partner or a family member to point you out to stop using the phone too much.
You can also set a reminder of half an hour as soon you pickup the phone and then realise in half an hour what productive work you have done in half an hour or have you just wasted it. In this way your phubbing habit will keep on decreasing.

- When you are having dinner leave the gadgets in your room and just enjoy the food on the dining table.
- While walking on the road and crossing a street.
- Stop using your phone even in the bathroom, there are many people who don't go to the washroom without carrying their phone well unfortunately that includes me also, well a simple quote for them:- "You won't get rich by sitting there the whole day."
- In case of fire, stop updating it and start running.
