HOW TECHNIQUE DESTROYS YOUR RELATIONSHIP

Especially older people will quickly say ‘boo’ when it comes to mobile telephony, because “the youth of today is always just staring at a screen all the time.” And sometimes they are right, a mobile phone is indeed a huge distraction when it comes to love, romance, and relationships.

In bed

You and your beloved roll in bed, but once in a horizontal position, you immediately reach for the phone. “Just setting the alarm” is the excuse, but once that alarm is set, you find yourself scrolling through Instagram, Facebook, and Nu.nl before you know it. Next to each other. How ridiculously unsociable is that? And in the morning, the exact same thing happens, goodbye morning sex, hello Nu.nl. Actually, we should all be required to sleep with our phones in the hallway.

During your date

If all goes well, you can hold back during a date or a night out to not be on your phone the whole time, but there is always a “phone moment” during every night out where both parties can check their messages. It can easily last 10 minutes and before you know it, you are that couple that others think: “Oh look, they really have nothing left to say to each other.” You don't want that.

The likes and comments

Why has he never liked a photo of you but you see that he always likes every photo of Kylie Jenner and Natasha Oakly with a heart? And by the way, who is that Sanne with a private profile? And why does that one chick respond with a heart-eyes smiley under his new profile picture? on Facebook?

The preview of Whatsapp

Whatsapp shows a preview of the message on your home screen and that can cause great confusion. After all, you can see his messages, legally, but it can happen that you see things that are not meant for your eyes. They don't have to be terrible “HE-WAS-CHEATING” proofs, but suppose his cousin Laura sends 'I can't wait to see you!' and you don't know that Laura is his cousin, well, that can come across as strange.

Overall Whatsapp

Because you don't send complete messages on Whatsapp, it gives the suggestion that you always have to be in conversation with each other. A day without receiving Whatsapp messages? What's going on here? It's really deadly exhausting, especially now that you can SEE that he is ignoring your messages. Long live the blue ticks.
