All it took was a 40 minute conversation after 10 pm for me to take the phone away. I have been dealing with 12 hours of texting every day for about four weeks now. Now it might seem like nothing to be talking at that hour for that long, BUT…his cell phone is roaming and the girl is a in different time zone, making it 12 am for her.

If he’s not texting, he’s playing video games. The one rare thing that makes him interrupt his games is a text from a friend. Every few minutes he pauses his games, reads a text and sends one back. All day. Often he continues well after he should be sleeping. Funny though that he hasn’t begged for his phone back.
