Scenario

When couples have different phone boundaries affecting intimacy

My partner and I have completely different relationships with our phones and it's affecting our intimacy - I need presence and eye contact to feel close and they text constantly even during conversations and we've talked about it but nothing changes because they say I'm being controlling.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are trying to be close while operating from fundamentally different understandings of what presence means.
