I broke up with a long term girlfriend 1.5 years ago. The main issue was she has what is essentially a phone addiction (which in turn is really an anxiety issue). After a LONG time telling her I couldn't play constant second fiddle to her phone (e.g. answering non-urgent texts during sex, etc), I ended it.
There is some talk of reconciling. I think she has partly, but not completely, dealt with her issue.
The problem I have, how do we work on establishing a healthy relationship, while she knows I'm going to be watching every time she touches her phone? It feels like a very judgemental/destructive dynamic, her walking on egg shells.
Any suggestions?
