How do you eat together?
Try to pay attention to how you are sitting and interacting when you share a meal with your partner. If you notice them leaning in, facing you, and making eye contact with you, this means they are interested in talking to you or even being with you.
Try to pay attention to all these signs of disconnection or inattention from your partner. Your S.O. doesn’t look up at you occasionally, nor does he or she acknowledge your presence. Your partner is already finished eating their food and moving on to something else, while you are only halfway through eating. Your partner’s back is turned toward you as you eat.

Great information. However, one thing was ignored or missed probably because the time of when this was written, but I don’t think cell phone usage should be ignored.
Cell phone usage has nothing to do with body language!
Yes, cell phone usage is absolutely a part of body language.
At best, it’s simply due to screen addiction.
At worst, it means the person’s phone content is more interesting and important to them than their partner, and/or it’s their escape from a partner they’re no longer interested in or feel connected to for whatever their reasons are.
It absolutely DOES!! If someone spends all their time looking at the phone while with you, they’re OBVIOUSLY not with you!!!
Wake up Dave, cell phone usage has everything to do with body language. These devices have
taken control of this generation affecting every part your life. Any person who ignores the spouse
and family while wasting time on the phone is a fool.
I agree with Sherri. When somebody is on their cell they are saying the other person is not important that the phone is more important. First off that in itself is a rude habit, end of story…
I agree.
Cell phones are a part of “body language”? Odd. What part of the body is the phone? Should I make sure the physician examines my phone as a part of my next annual physicals?
