Why would a guy not talk about his partner to anyone?

Question

Never mentions her to any colleague and when he tries to refer to her once he's called her a "household member"

when asked if he has a partner he said yes and changed the subject

what's odd: is that he flirts a lot with me, doesn't talk about his partner, yet brags about his friends and other things in life

This is a bit fishy if he's like never spoken about her to anyone. Also depends on how long they've known each other. Like if it's a short period of time doesn't matter Maybe he's not sure if things will work out. But if they've been together for a really long period of time and he still doesn't tell anyone. It's weird.

They live together and to me that would seem like a level of commitment

Then the dude is weird. He's probably planning to or has already cheated in her

I used to think he's single and used to flirt with him and he started sending me a lot of winks and occasional sexual inneundos, but when I got a whiff that a partner may be in the picture... I just can't stand him anymore.

Same. Cheating is a big no for me too. Honestly turns me off completely. Like men who have cheated at any point are so unattractive.

If you can anonymously tip his girlfriend about what he's been doing. The poor girl can save her life too

A few reasons. A) she doesn't exist 2) he's embarrassed by her for one reason or the other c) he's cheating on her or 4) maybe he's just private. That used to be a thing.

She lives with him, we needed to do a work chat twice about a particular complicated client and I heard her in the background but then he shuffled quickly away to another room where she wasn't in a hearing distance and another time he cracked a joke and i laughed and the entire time she kept clearing her throat. We used to think he's private, but when we realised he talks about everything and anything but her, we just find it strange that he doesn't want to mention her period.

Curious why would any guy (not just this one) be embarrassed to be with a significant other? Like what are some 'embarrassing things'

He's probably interested in you. I have a girl at work who does something similar.

I usually don't talk about a girl I'm dating much cause I am a private person

what does the girl at your work do?

She constantly flirts with me and she will go out of her way to come talk to me or something. Whenever her boyfriend is there, she acts like I don't exist.
But she does very odd things and my colleagues have seen it and they see that she's interested, but they think I'm just a backup plan.
Her boyfriend works with her and they live together
