DEAR DEIDRE: MY partner seems addicted to her phone. She’d sooner spend the night on Facebook than in bed with me.
We’re in our thirties and have a little girl who’s three.
My team and I are working safely from home but we are here to help you as always.
Send an email to problems@deardeidre.org.
Every problem gets a personal reply, usually within 24 hours weekdays.
You can also send a private message on the DearDeidreOfficial Facebook page.

We do have family time but in the evenings she’s on her phone non-stop. She gets cranky and defensive if I suggest she’s addicted to it.
At first I put the lack of intimacy down to the strains of being new parents, but we only have sex once or twice a year now, and that seems only to keep me happy.
She lies back and it feels so joyless. While she seems happy to go on as we are, I just feel shut out.
DEIDRE SAYS: Tell your partner she’s risking your relationship and ask her to agree that you both put your phones away at tea-time.
They are addictive and you need to focus on each other. Some sensual massage could awaken her physical responses – my e-leaflet on Massage For Couples explains.
Make sure you’re doing your share as a dad and partner around the house too.
