Is the dissatisfaction caused by the phone use or the phone use by an existing dissatisfaction? Or are both caused by another cause?

  iirc we know that social media use leads to dissatisfaction due to seeing everyone's "perfect" lives. Perhaps these married people are observing "perfect" marriages and taking a negative perspective on their own?

    Perhaps so, but why were they looking in the first place?

    I agree to a point, but the way we talk about this seems very conservative. If someone develops a negative perspective towards their current situation, is that a bad thing? My interpretation is that social media use leads to ambition and raises people's standards. Seeing other people doing better makes people think about how they can improve their own lives, which leads to less complacency and drives them towards positive change. I am going to go out on a limb and say that most relationships are crappy. If the average person was to see what a good relationship looks like, they would leave or try to change their current one, which is a good thing. Same applies for careers.
