Balancing Love and Notifications: Navigating Endless Group Chats with My Boyfriend

I’m in a relationship with a wonderful boyfriend, but I’m struggling with his incessant group chats. The constant barrage of messages from his friends is overwhelming, and it feels as though these digital interactions are prioritized over our time together.

The challenge is balancing technological engagement with real-life presence, and I hope we can work through this together.
