My wife is addicted to her phone so much, that I feel like I'm married to it along with her.

This may sound over the top, but its the truth. My wife is on her phone at *ALL* times. Always. If she's breathing, she's on her phone. If she's sitting down, she's on her phone. If she's bored, stressed, happy, she's on her dumb phone. If she's making dinner she has her airpods in watching youtube videos or tiktoks. If she's doing anything that requires her full attention, like driving, she still has her dumb phone in her hand, usually on tiktok.<br><br>I hate saying this but she's 28 years old and still hasn't grown up. She is not the girl I met 8 years ago. Back then she was barely on her phone. It was almost as if she didn't like being on her phone. Now, if she doesn't have her phone, she's freaking out like a drug addict that is suddenly not able to get her fix. Honestly, a drug addict would probably be easier to deal with than someone whos constantly glued to their phone.<br><br>I've tried talking to her about it countless times. She just laughs it off and says "oh, yeah I'm on my phone a lot". Okay, is that it? Are you actually not going to make an effort to be present in the moment and get off your dumb phone? I don't want my phone hardly at all anymore because I'm so sick of seeing her with hers, and it's causing problems now where I feel like I need to get off my phone just because it feels like a waste of time now.<br><br>She doesn't even bother taking her airpods out anymore when she's talking to me while she's still watching a video on her phone. Its literally like, you're addicted, stop Lying to yourself and everyone else. I've said stuff like "yeah no wonder you can't focus on anything, your attention span is that of a goldfish because of your phone Addiction". She'll just shrug it off and say that she's fine.<br><br>I've been with this woman for 8 years now. We're married and have two kids. I feel like I'm losing the person I love to her phone. I'm fucking tired of seeing her on that damn thing and she won't admit that she needs to get off it more often and focus on reality. She'll even take her phone to the dinner table if we're eating with family or friends. Everyone will be trying to have a conversation and she will be on her phone watching videos. Everyone notices this but no one says anything. I'm over this shit.<br><br>What do you do, when someone you love has an addiction that they won't even admit to themselves that they have? I'm not stupid, I know she can't just magically wake up one day and not be glued to her phone. I know it would take therapy and getting off it cold turkey, but she won't even try, because in her mind she's totally fine doing what she's doing.<br><br>Honestly, I don't know how much longer I can be in a relationship like this. It feels disrespectful and I'm tired of always seeing her on her phone. It's not healthy for our kids to see their mother on her phone 24/7. I'm regretting ever getting married because I thought I was marrying a person, not a phone.
