AmandaS Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 I've never considered myself to be the jealous type but lately I've been getting upset about my boyfriend giving his number out to other women and texting them. This situation started about 6 months ago when I found out that he ran into an old ex girlfriend one day and that he gave her his phone number so they could text and catch up. It did upset me but him and I talked about it. But now in the last month or so, he has ran into an old friend from school, and also some girl he met through his sister, and has given both of them his phone number also. I honestly do not understand why this upsets me and bothers me, but it does. I also don't understand why he continues to do this knowing I'm not really comfortable with it. Sure I have some friends that are guys, but I do not give my number out to guys. I would just like to know what other people think about this. Is it right/okay for my boyfriend to be giving other women his number? 1
Mrin Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Yes and no. Old friend I can see. But some girls he met through his sister? No. I wouldn't tolerate it if a GF did that.

I honestly think that the big issue here is perhaps why he insists on doing this even after knowing that you are not comfortable with it. This is not really respectful at all. Whether or not he thinks it is okay or not. The point is that you don't like it. That alone should be enough reason for him to take immediate action. A partner is supposed to be someone you can lean on and trust. When you have a problem, he/she is supposed to be there. Personally, I would be worried beyond this one specific situation going forward. There could be many more issues later on that all revolve around similar kind of reactions of his. 2
marcjb Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 So he wants to continue dating while in a relationship... because that's exactly what he's doing. Drop him because he obviously doesn't understand how a relationship is supposed to work. 2
d0nnivain Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 It's not wrong but because it bothers you, for your relationship to work you have to discuss it. Not all communication with the opposite sex is cheating.

Drop him because he obviously doesn't understand how a relationship is supposed to work. without knowing the full story i'd have to agree with this. If I dated someone who did this i'd start looking for a new GF. 2
