Ask Helpful Hannah
Dear Helpful Hannah,
I've got a problem with my husband, Sam. He bought a smartphone a couple of months ago and he took it on our recent ski vacation to Colorado. It was a great trip except for one problem. He has a constant desire (check) for text messages; he checks his phone every five minutes! He's so addicted to it that he just can't stand the idea there may be an important text. He can't help (check) even at inappropriate times like when we are eating in a restaurant and I am talking to him! He behaves any small amount of boredom can make him feel the need to check his phone even when he knows he shouldn't. The temptation to see is contacting him is just too great. When I ask him to please put down the phone and stop (ignore) me, he says, "In a minute," but still checks to see if has posted something new on the Internet. Our life (interrupt). If we go somewhere and I ask him to leave the phone at home, he suffers from withdrawal symptoms. Maybe this dependency on his smartphone has become more than an everyday problem.
I recently read an article about "nomophobia," is a real illness people can suffer from: the fear of being without your phone! I am worried that Sam may be suffering from this illness he feels anxious if he doesn't have his phone with him, even for a short time.
Who would have thought that little devices like these could have brought so much trouble!
Sick and Tired Sadie
