“It’s your smartphone or me!” », this kind of ultimatum is likely to multiply if we continue to use this small object as an extension of ourselves, beeping at all costs and monopolizing our attention.
The smartphone is a very practical ally when you are looking for your way, when you want to share photos with your whole family or find a movie session. On the other hand, when it interferes in our romantic dinners, thrones next to each plate at the table and interrupts all conversation, it can turn out to be a real “love killer”. Especially since by mixing professional emails and personal messages, this screen blurs the boundaries. And we sometimes find ourselves spending the evening alone leaning on his laptop, rather than sharing a romantic movie.
How to detox (and save your couple)?
The world no phone days, which take place from February 6 to 8, 2022, can be the perfect opportunity to unplug, not in airplane mode, really turn off your smartphone, and have a little couple conversation on the use, reasoned or not, of the smartphone… and the annoyance it generates. So much so that some could treat themselves to a “detox and disconnect” course for Valentine’s Day instead of the traditional luxury or villainous dinner party?

Has the cell phone become a point of contention within your relationship? In what situations does the excess of laptops bother you? What have you put in place to better manage this little utensil? What works for you?
