Guest Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 I need some creative help. My MM is leaving his wife this weekend and he has asked me to change my cell phone number so if she starts digging around after the fact, my number will be disconnected. I'm willing to do this, but I don't know what excuse to give anyone who asks why I did it. I'm not changing providers or cell phones, so I'm not sure what excuse I can use. The biggest concern is my mother, whom I'm afraid will figure it all out when I introduce her to my new boyfriend in a few months and she finds out he's newly separated. I don't want her piecing together the fact I was in an affair before he left his wife. Any creative reasons I can give people for changing my number? I know it's ironic, but I'm a terrible liar. Thanks!

Thanks! Why can't you just block the W's #? If she's the only concern? Just a thought.

And, I don't think it would be disconnected..just reassigned...And I don't think she can get info w/ out alot of digging..on who's # it is. Cell phone #'s are hard and time consuming to track down..

Thanks! What if he doesn't leave? Are you prepared to change your personal stuff around so much and fill this big gap to explain to all your family and friends? Don't you think that's a HUGE compromise on your part to accomodate him? If his W catches things and he is really going to leave he should be prepared to explain it to her himself. is your number listed or unlisted? what you could do is have the operator change it to unlisted. so that the owner cannot be revealed.
Chapter2 Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 Changing your number now is a bit like hiding the weapon at a murder scene but leaving blood all over the walls and hoping the police can't trace it. I'm not implying anyone is a murderer here but there are so many things the two of you haven't thought of that can be traced...your cell phone is just one of many. If his W starts digging, she will find a whole lot more than a cell phone. Changing your number might put exposure off for a while but not forever. Maybe his W won't want to know...that does happen.
whichwayisup Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 My MM is leaving his wife this weekend and he has asked me to change my cell phone number so if she starts digging around after the fact, my number will be disconnected. Chances are, not only will she call you, she may want to talk to you in person. You can't really hide from her, so why not just face her and talk to her? Be honest about your relationship, I mean, if this is the man you love, then come clean to your family too. Starting off together because of hiding your affair WILL come out eventually. Also, people aren't stupid, if they know were you seeing 'someone' and then all of a sudden it comes out he's separated, they'll figure out that you and your MM were together while he was still married to his wife.

What they "think" and what they "know" can be two different things. There is no need for the affair to come out at all. And really, why is it anyone's business? And if LS is representative of the population at large, then I would most definitly keep quiet about it. There is some serious venom spit out here regarding affairs and people who find themselves involved in them. JMO

GreenEyedLady Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 Why do you have to give anyone a reason? You're an adult...you can change your number if you want... If you feel you need to give a reason say that you've been getting crank calls and that'll be the end of it...
