When couples fail at digital detox but won't admit it

My wife and I decided to do a 30-day digital detox together but she's been checking work emails 'just for emergencies' and I've been doom-scrolling news before bed and we both pretend we're still doing it. We're three weeks in and neither of us wants to admit we've already failed but we're also not actually supporting each other anymore.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people made a commitment to change together but are now caught between individual weakness and shared pretense.
