What is "phubbing" and why is it destroying people's marriages and intimate relationships?
It has often been said that the opposite of love is not hate but apathy. No one likes to be ignored or disregarded. "Phubbing" is a word coined some time ago by combining the words "phone" and "snubbing". As it relates to marriage and other romantic relationships, it is the practice of ignoring one's spouse or romantic partner to pay attention to one's phone or other mobile device. This problem, some say it is more of an addiction, is wreaking havoc on such relationships. How big a problem is this? I explore all of this issue in my recently published article in Your Tango magazine. Learn more about this phenomenon and how to save your love relationship by reading the attached article.
