"Phubbing" isn't the cause, it's a symptom. If you don't want to spend time with your partner, you're going to use your phone as an avoidance mechanism instead.

- wetmore 3y agoI don't think this is true. I've noticed myself phubbing in front of my friends and partner sometimes and it feels more like a compulsion. If I resist or put my phone somewhere else the compulsion passes and I enjoy the time without using it.
