YOUR SMARTPHONE HAS PROBABLY RUINED YOUR RELATIONSHIP LIFE - SCIENTISTS REVEALS



Your smartphone could be making your other half think your relationship is doomed, scientists have warned.

And it’s all down to how ‘hooked’ you are on the gadget.

Researchers from the University of Arizona asked 170 student-age couples to report on their smartphone – and how they felt about their relationship.

Both smartphone users and their other halves seem to suffer – with heavy users saying they felt ‘less certain’ about their relationship, and their other halves saying they felt ‘less satisfied’.

‘I’m more likely to think my relationship is doomed the more I believe my partner needs that thing,’ says Matthew Lapierre of the University of Arizona.

‘It’s not use; it’s the psychological relationship to that device. Smartphones are fundamentally different from previous technologies, so their effect is much more powerful.

‘I don’t want to say it’s uniformly negative, but it definitely hints in that direction.’
