Would you get mad if they were too busy sitting there checking out their phone instead of paying attention to you?
Would you get mad if your boyfriend/girlfriend kept checking their phone constantly around you.

I'll be annoyed, and let him know how I feel.

Depends. If they are devoting all their time to their cell, then I might be. However, if they are just playing on it a little, then no. I spend a lot of time on my phone. My accounts online are set up on my phone. I talk to students, my family, and fellow bloggers. I'm a busy lady and all of it can be done from my phone. So, my face is often buried in my phone.
Have you ever asked what your SO is doing on the phone all the time? Are they playing games, chatting, or what? I would recommend talking to your partner. Communication about everything is important. It might help you understand why they are on the phone. Plus, maybe they don't realize you want attention at that moment.

Haha, once I was up on top of him and very in the zone and his phone rang and he ANSWERED IT!! And it was his mom! Ahhhh! XD I scolded him half jokingly but got right back to it after he got off the phone. Sometimes you just don't think about it.

Nah. We both do this all the time. Neither of us can get mad because the other does it as well.

It does bother me but only if I am in the middle of saying something...but if it's important than I try not to mind. Sigel HAS to answer and check his phone frequently because it's his job.

If we're hanging out, off work hours or something.. spending time.. yes it would bug me... During the week or something during business hours... no

I get annoyed when its just the two of us and he's checking it often instead of talking to me. At least it doesn't happen often.
10/28/2012
Yes, I am pretty sure I would ask about it.

It CAN be annoying, but isn't always.
10/28/2012
That can definitely be annoying.
10/28/2012
YES! Its fine if your phone goes off and you answer it, but to constantly be checking it is annoying. Your with me, your attention should be on me, not your phone!
10/28/2012
Yes.. the phone shouldn't be your main concern in a relationship.

im pretty guilty of this habit too so mad is not the word id use, but it wouldnt be ideal

It depends on the situation. I can see how it might be a problem, but in general I don't think it would bother me.
10/29/2012
yep

Most of the time, no. But if we are trying to spend some nice time together, yeah it gets to me. If we have both put electronic devices aside to cuddle and he keeps checking easing with his phone, I'll get a little annoyed. Not as annoyed as when he feels the need to check it while driving, though. Then I want to take the phone and chuck it out of the window.

I get annoyed in general when there is lots of phone-checking happening around me, no matter who it is!

In general I take people, romantic-interest-rega rdless, constantly playing with their phones as a sign of disinterest. I think it is very rude and will say so if I know the person well enough.
What it tells me if I'm trying to communicate with them is "You're not worth my time," or "You bore me."

I'll be annoyed

My husband has to do this for work (he is basically on call constantly). I do get annoyed sometimes. However, I have to remind myself that he would rather be paying full attention to me and that this is where his paycheck is coming from. If he gets a call for work that is less than crucial he has been known to say, "Hey, I'm having dinner with my wife, can I call you later?"

My boyfriend is pretty good about it but it always drove me to distraction when I was out with friends or my siblings and they were on their phones constantly. I think if you are taking the time to hang out with someone you should give them your full attention. If your just going to sit on your phone the whole time why not just go hang out with the person that you are texting.
