Man interrupts post-intimacy cuddling to check BlackBerry; she's outta here
Seems that after “Cathy” realized that her boyfriend seemed to care more about checking BlackBerry messages in bed than devoting his undivided attention to her, she reports that their relationship is in the process of ending.
Maybe, as Boston Globe freelancer Alison Lobron writes, the seeds of what sounds like a breakup was planted after Cathy’s boyfriend checked his BlackBerry during post coital-cuddling.
“The BlackBerry-to-bed scenario reflects a widespread difficulty: how to separate oneself from technology,” writes Lobron.
So dude let’s see you take your BlackBerry out on New Year’s Eve. Meanwhile, Cathy will be out with her girlfriends, calling you a weirdo.
