How cell phone connected should you be when traveling?

Question

My boyfriend always has his cell phone and bluetooth on him, even on vacations. The phone isn't for business use. He constantly takes calls from his friends during vacation to discuss normal stuff like Halo 2 or who's the most underrated rookie in the NFL. I think it interrupts our vacation since he zones out when he receives calls and slows down our group.

Almost every vacation picture he's in has his bluetooth in it (I remembered to ask him to put it in his pocket for the other pics). I ask him to call his friends in the hotel when we have down time but he says stuff like "This is what technology is for. It's no big deal."

Are the phone calls excessive for a vacation?

Is having your bluetooth (it's a big one!) in vacation pics tacky?

Answer 1

Have you told him how you feel about it? Have you told him how he acts when he's on the phone (holding the group up, overall being rude by ignoring those there with him, etc)?

I bring my phone on vacation with me just in case, but I do not freak out about it if I leave my phone in the hotel/wherever. I also do not feel I need to answer every phone call I get. I only answer if its my fiance, brother, parents, his parents, his brother, brothers fiance. And they HARDLY call if they know I'm on vacation.

If he ends up being "the one" for you, make sure you take his phone from him so you are not disturbed at your wedding or honeymoon! Imagine that!
