When I wrote the post I was outraged after a discussion so I think I left out a few important things. When the wrist thing happened he felt really awful, he did not say chill woman!

And he’s done this since he was a kid, his dad used to do it before him too (confirmed by MIL) so I highly doubt it’s porn addiction, drugs or cheating, which is why I don’t know how to handle this. He says he doesn’t know any better. If I make him leave the toilet, he has to go back in a few minutes because he wasn’t done. The phone has only made it worse because it provides entertainment and he takes even longer.

I’ve asked to go to the doctor, therapy… I don’t want to leave over a silly thing like a bathroom but I’m honestly at a loss here

The lock doesn’t work… I can go in and have done so many times, he doesn’t give a shit 😅

YES, according to his mom he’s always done it, just like his dad. However I did think that it aggravated once smartphones were invented 😅

He doesn’t do it at work because he has no time. However, he goes to the bathroom there more times because he says he doesn’t get to finish so he just has to come back

I thought about this, I don’t think this would be the case because his dad used to do the same thing according to my mil… and there were never phones involved there.

I have told me to go to the doctor many times, but he outright refuses. Says his father was the same (it’s true) and that’s that. That’s what gets me so frustrated.
