"  Do you ever feel like you&amp;#039;re in an unintentional threesome with your boyfriend\u2014and his phone? Or, does he think you&amp;#039;d rather snuggle up to Facebook than spoon with him? According to research conducted by Crucial.com, 40 percent of people who own a computer say they have computer-related relationship issues. Their biggest complaint? Their partners are too plugged in.  As excruciating as it may be, I am tearing myself away from my phone for long enough to admit: I am guilty of this.  My guy and I live together and, most nights, you&amp;#039;ll find us vegging in front of the TV (yes, we eat dinner at the coffee table), cells or e-readers in hand. He&amp;#039;ll be playing Scramble with Friends and scanning ESPN&amp;#039;s latest news, while I&amp;#039;ll be refreshing Instagram for pictures of people&amp;#039;s cupcakes and pinning home d\u00E9cor ideas.  When I think about it, we barely even talk to each other, except when he announces that he just totally kicked his friend&amp;#039;s butt in his game or when I insist on showing him the most amazing kitchen ever. Granted, we&amp;#039;ve been together almost four years\u2014well past the honeymoon phase\u2014and we really like to veg side by side. (Does that make us lame? Maybe.) But, at the same time, being so dialed in takes the focus off really enjoying each other&amp;#039;s company. And, truthfully, from time to time, I can feel a bit neglected when it seems like my guy would rather zone into his iPhone than stare lovingly into my eyes. (Or, better yet, make me moan in ectasy.) We need to find a better balance of chilling out and encouraging each other to get off our butts from time to time. At the very least, I think we, and other technology-obsessed couples, should try to unplug and undress a bit more often. Turn off our phones, and turn each other on, if you will. Because sex is always the best way to shake things up, right? Want more from Natasha? Follow her on Twitter or find her on Facebook. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
