yadayadayada Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 It's something I never really noticed in previous relationships and I'm just interested to gauge people's initial reactions. Everyone on LS seems to provide honest and insightful help to each other. It's nice to see. Boyfriend of 6+ months always brings his phone into the bathroom with him when he showers. It doesn't matter if it's 5am on a Tuesday or 2pm on Saturday. He'll even wake up, plug it in to charge, and then ten minutes later unplug it, bring it into the bathroom, shower and then plug it in again when he comes back out. I personally find the behavior odd. I don't think he is hiding anything but I think it speaks to the fact that he is an extremely closed/private/secretive person or has trust issues. What would your reaction be to the this behavior be? Would you find it a. Concerning. b. No big deal. It's just a quirky habit that he has c. Odd and think he has some trust issue d. Just assume he is a very private person and this is one of those ways in which it manifests itself. I really find it interesting and helpful to get other people's perspectives.
Tripper Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 Hi yada, Do you have a reason not to trust him?? I ask that because if you don't have a reason to suspect him of anything, then personally I think it's quirky behaviour. Some people are just "wired" junkies and if they don't have the phone handy they feel disconnected from the world. I see this alot with people I work with that have Blackberries... they just gotta be connected or they suffer withdrawal symptoms LMAO.
maynicholas Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 Unelss you have a specific reason not to trust him, I don't think it's strange at all. He may just like his phone near him at all times. Does he go in the bathroom specifically to talk on the phone or is it just in there with him? I know lots of people who like to do business while doing their 'business'
Lauriebell82 Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 Hmm, well some people do just love to have their phones with them at all times. I like to have my phone with me constantly, but I don't take it into the bathroom with me, unless I'm expecting a very important phone call. Then I'll put it in the bathroom so I can hear it ring. Maybe, he just doens't want to miss a call. If you have no reason to be suspicious, then don't be. If he isn't really secretive and you don't see serious trust issues besides this, then it probably is just a preference.
