I guess I'd recommend you both go to a psychologist / counselor together so that you're not the only one with a view to the relationship and the concerns. A counselor can help get your concerns voiced and heard in such a way that can be very helpful. Do you think he'd be willing to go? |
Thanks Ann!! As always, I love any words-of-wisdom advice you offer! ❤ It's so true though: technology is so new, there's no official diagnosis right now. These games were made in a way to get people addicted. It's really awful...
I'm not sure he's willing to go counselling for this alone, seeing that he doesn't think there's an issue. But we recently got engaged, so maybe we can go to a marriage prep counselling course and I can bring it up.

If this doesn't work, than perhaps take Ann's advice on counseling. |
I'm not sure a 'test' would work. It's not possible for him to put his phone away and feel disconnected from the world, for even half a day or a few hours. I'll maybe try the counselling approach...and hopefully that'll go somewhere.
