 More than 46% of these people in the study had been fubbed by their romantic partner, and they said that it was creating a lot of drama in the relationships. Our findings suggest that more often a couple's time spent together is interrupted by one individual attending his or her cell phone than not. When spending time with one significant other, we encourage individuals to be cognizant of the interactions of cell phones. Put it down. It's not hard to be cognizant. Just put the thing down and hang out and talk and be relational.
