Q: My boyfriend always covers his phone screen whenever I take a glance at it. Should I ask him what’s up or demonstrate trust?
How to Handle a Mysterious Phone Keeper
Ever wonder why your partner suddenly refuses to let you glance at their phone? Maybe they’re planning a surprise gift, or maybe they’re just a secret‑agent‑obsessed privacy ninja. Whatever the reason, handling it with a mix of trust and curiosity is the smart move.
Step 1: Give It Some Space
- Let them hide that screen for now—no prying, no snooping.
- Respect their need for privacy; it shows you’re got their back.
- If they start feeling like a spy in a sitcom, feel free to gently ask what’s up.
Step 2: Ask (But Keep It Light)
- Say something like, “What’s the mystery adventure going on?”
- Show you’re supportive, not interrogating.
- If they give a rational answer—maybe they grew up with nosy siblings—take it in stride.
Step 3: Pause If It’s Not Satisfying
- When the explanation feels more like a puzzle than an answer, stop questioning.
- Instead, reflect on their behavior: Is something truly hidden?
- This could lead to a deeper conversation about trust and boundaries.
Remember:
Trust is like a two‑way street—give it a lane, and ask for one when needed. A little humor and an open heart keep the ride smooth.
Q: They say that the best way to move on from an ex is to go “no contact”. However, I find that hard to do. Any advice?
Break the Cycle, Kick the Boredom
Let’s ditch those classic bad habits—binge‑drinking, smoking, you name it. Not that settling for a total disaster is good advice, but it’s basically spot on: you need a fresh distraction.
Why Get Bored Out of Your Head?
If you’ve ever squinted at the idea of trying something new, like tennis, playing the piano, or rock climbing, now’s the perfect moment.
- Hands‑on coolness: — you’ve got something to keep your fingers busy that isn’t reaching for the phone.
- Mind‑shift: — the swirl of thoughts that used to revolve around your ex gets tossed out for a fresh sprint.
- People‑power: — stepping out means meeting fresh faces, maybe someone who becomes the next “The One” or just the next ex.
Gateway to a Happier You
Think of it like a diversion workout. The more minutes you spend learning something new, the less time you’ll have to replay those painful memories. It’s self‑care with a side of surprise: practice a new sport, pick up keyboard skills, or find your inner adrenaline‑junkie on a climbing wall.
Try This:
- Sign up for a local tennis club or a beginner piano lesson.
- Book a rock‑climbing session with a group—talk about a different kind of “climb.”
- Invite an old friend who’s always been a good sport to join.
Whatever you pick, you’re giving your mind a reason to stay busy, and who knows? You might just meet someone who sticks around or ends up being the next chapter in your story.
