VIDEO: Man faces backlash for using phone during wife’s birthday celebration

A video making the rounds on social media has captured a man cutting a birthday cake with his wife, who was celebrating her 45th birthday.

While the moment was intended to celebrate his wife’s milestone, the husband’s actions have drawn significant attention and criticism from netizens.

Throughout the cake-cutting process, the man was seen glued to his phone, paying little attention to the event or his wife. Even as family and friends sang birthday songs, his focus remained on his device, overshadowing what should have been a heartfelt moment of celebration.
