I am so depressed and lonely in my marriage

i feel you completely man, some days are just rough. but maybe she's escaping into her phone because she's going through stuff too? not saying it's okay but perhaps there's more underneath.

yeah dude it sounds frustrating af especially when ur partner is there physically but not mentally...maybe try suggesting doing something together without phones? like just going for a walk or smthing idk works sometimes fr.

Dude, I totally feel your pain here 😒 It's like tech has taken over everything and left real life in the dust. Same thing happened with my buddies back home. We'd hang out but everyone was just scrolling away on their screens, barely even talking to each other... 🙄 Makes you wonder what's so freaking fascinating about all those videos that they can tune out the people right there with them. Have you thought about maybe planning something where phones aren't allowed? Like a mini escape somewhere with no signal? Maybe that could spark some real conversation and remind her how things used to be. Not saying it's gonna fix everything...just might jolt things back to reality for a bit 🤞

This situation sounds quite tough on you, understandably so. It's difficult when a partner seems distant or disconnected because of technology use. Have you considered discussing both your needs openly during a calm moment? It might spark some improved communication between the two of you.

it’s tough feeling sidelined like that. sounds like there’s a significant digital divide between you two, which isn’t uncommon these days. maybe exploring new ways to reconnect could be helpful? shared activities that don't involve screens might bring some of the old closeness back. trying something different might at least shake up the monotony and create an avenue for conversation.

hey, i totally get how you're feeling. reminds me of my buddy dave who was dealing with something similar. he found himself in a tough spot too because his partner was always on instagram and it started to drive a wedge between them; they actually tried setting aside some "screen-free" time each day, just to reconnect without the digital distractions. maybe it could help you guys too? establishing new boundaries can sometimes reignite that old spark and remind each other why you got together in the first place. communication is key, even if it's hard right now... there's still hope for improvement if both sides are willing to try!

wow, man, that sounds rough. it's like being in a relationship with a zombie who's mesmerized by their phone's glow instead of the actual person next to them. have you ever thought about maybe suggesting some sort of no-phone time or tech-free date night? might sound a bit old-school or even cheesy but seriously, it could be worth a shot if she's open to it... just nudge her into seeing what she's missing out on. i mean, what's the point of sharing your life with someone who'd rather spend quality time with their screen than you? sometimes all this digital stuff makes real humans seem less appealing, am i right? 😶

wow, it's almost like those "endless feeds of pointless content" might just be what people turn to when trying to tune out real-world issues.

dude thats insane so relatablE sometimes ppl get obsessed wit tech tho its kinda sad ur way tuned out sounds whak maybe jus musing here could b sOmnting bigger goin on wit EITHER of u hoo knows

man, that sounds really challenging. being stuck in the same cycle can be so disheartening. it could be worth exploring how to reconnect even in small ways when she's not on her phone, like over coffee or a walk outside without distractions. it might help break through some of that distance. maybe there's a chance to find common ground if you both agree to put the screens away for a bit each day? just a thought! sometimes tiny steps can create room for bigger changes down the road. 🤞

man, that sounds really tough. it sucks feeling like you're just living alongside someone instead of really being with them, you know? reminds me of a time when my partner got super into gaming and it felt like i only had half their attention at best. what helped a bit was finding small ways to reconnect, even if it was just making dinner together or going for a quick walk without phones. maybe it's worth trying something you've both enjoyed in the past to get that vibe back, but yeah... it's frustrating when you feel sidelined. hang in there!

Man, that sounds really frustrating! But dude, have you considered you might be exaggerating a bit? Giving up without exploring anything else is honestly not a strong move; maybe she's annoyed by something you're doing and is too polite to mention it. You both need to take some accountability here and come off those high horses, face reality together—talk in galactic terms if needed; just don't both expect the other to be the first one putting an end to all this screen drama. Maybe that's harsh, bro, but it's better than sitting around blaming each other's phones 🤦‍♂️

Have you tried asking her directly why she stays on her phone so much? Maybe hearing it from her perspective could open up more dialogue.

it's wild how hooked everyone seems on screens now, right? i mean, how hard is it to just look up and be present... like just for a bit?! you gotta wonder if the real issue isn't tech but maybe something deeper going on. could be she's hiding from stresses of her own or using it as an escape. have you ever thought about suggesting counseling together? sometimes having a third party shakes things up in ways you wouldn't expect. it's easy to say talk more but when that doesn't work, maybe having someone guide the convo could actually help focus on what's missing between y’all 😶✌️

Feeling ignored by a loved one can be incredibly isolating and frustrating indeed especially within the confines of marriage where mutual engagement is expected. But tying this solely to phone usage might overlook other dynamics at play which could also be contributing factors here hence why conversation might seem futile because underlying issues aren't fully brought into light yet.
