Lawrence, we can all fall into this trap. It is very easy to become addicted to mobile phone applications if one is not careful.
I really struggle with this because my job is completely dependent on the Internet.
Most of what I do is online, so I am not on the Internet to chat with friends, but to respond to clients or on other work related things.
However, I had a reality check once, and realised I need to be there for my family because the Internet will always be there for use, but my family may not always be.
I decided to give them the attention they deserve. Talk to her and if she is a reasonable woman, she will change.

Lawrence you need to know who your wife is chatting with at any one time. Ask her to stop chatting with people in the late hours of the night because it makes you feel bad. If she does not stop, then you can sort this out by buying a basic phone that does not have those features - a ‘mulika mwizi’. If she is a good wife, she will definitely change but learn to understand each other.

Sorry brother, but we have to accept that technology has come with a lot of changes if not challenges. Technology too, has made promiscuous people become more promiscuous. Getting her out of this addiction is not an easy thing and if need be, ask her to choose between you or the phone. As a man, you have to take control and bring sanity into your marriage. Talk to her and be firm with her to make her understand how you feel.
