Distraction and intimacy

When one or both partners habituate to phones, work, or mental preoccupation during shared time, physical presence becomes hollow; intimacy requires a baseline of actual attention. The erosion is subtle because you're still together, but the quality of togetherness—the felt sense of being known—thins in ways that are hard to repair without naming directly.
