My wife told me I kept pausing shows to check my phone and it ruined the vibe for her
She said I was missing all the subtle character stuff by not staying present, so now I leave my phone in the kitchen while we binge anything longer than 30 minutes, has anyone else had a partner call them out like that?

Ended up doing the same thing with my gf lol. She said I was being a zombie just scrolling through stuff and not actually watching with her, so now the phones go face down on the coffee table and honestly the shows are way better.

Phone in the kitchen is a bit extreme man. You're an adult, you can multitask. My wife and I both scroll during shows and it's totally fine. We pause to talk about what we saw or rewind if something important happened. No big deal. Being present 100% of the time sounds exhausting.

Totally agree with you @reesemoore. My boyfriend did the same thing, called me out for just mindlessly scrolling through Twitter during movies. I didn't even realize how much I was missing until we started putting phones face down on the side table. Now we actually talk about the plot and make jokes together instead of just sitting in silence while I stare at my screen. It's WAY better. We even started betting on who can spot the twist first now. Big upgrade honestly.
