Married to Addiction

Episode 117: Phone Boundaries — When to Text Back, and When to Leave It on Read


Listen Later

If your stomach drops every time your phone buzzes or dings with a message from your husband, you’re not alone.
When you’re married to an alcoholic, a single text can set off hours of anxiety — and deciding whether to reply or stay silent can feel impossible.

In this episode, we’ll talk about what healthy phone boundaries really look like when addiction is in the picture — and how to protect your peace without guilt.

You’ll learn:
💛 Why phone boundaries aren’t about control—they’re about emotional safety

💛 When it’s wise to text back (and what kinds of messages are okay)

💛 When silence is actually the most loving and protective response

💛 A simple rule that can guide 90% of your texting decisions

💛 How to calm the anxious “pull” to respond right away

Listen now, and learn how to let calm—not fear—set the pace for your communication.
