A new trend is rapidly becoming viral in the world of dating and relationships, which is being called Phubbing. This word is made by combining two words Phone and Snubbing, which means ignoring a person and being busy with the phone. This habit is becoming a big reason for breaking relationships these days.

Phubbing means when a person is busy on the phone even when he is with his partner. Be it a date night, a romantic dinner or a chance to spend quality time - constantly scrolling on the phone or being immersed in social media weakens the emotional connection.

Effect of phubbing on relationships

From a psychological point of view, phubbing makes your partner feel unimportant. When one person in a relationship repeatedly gives priority to the phone, the other person experiences neglect and loneliness.

* Emotional distance: When one person is busy with the phone, the other person feels emotionally ignored. This weakens the bond in the relationship.

* Mistrust and suspicion : Phubbing can often lead to suspicion and mistrust in the partner. They may think that their partner is talking to someone else on the phone or is ignoring them.

* Risk of breakup:  According to a report by Grazia magazine, couples who phubb have more fights. Couples who constantly phubb are more likely to have emotional dissatisfaction and separation, which can also lead to a breakup of the relationship.

How to avoid phubbing?

* Phone free time: Keep the phone away or put it on silent mode when spending time with your partner.

* Increase communication: Communicate openly in the relationship and make it clear how phubbing makes you feel.

* Digital detox: Sometimes plan a phone free weekend or date night so that you can spend quality time with each other.
