We met a couple in our friend's home party, and there they gave us their numbers to meet again. I just saved the girls number then realized that my boyfriend also saved it under a new name, not with her real name. What does it mean? Should I ask him? Or is this just a misunderstanding?
That does sound like a bit of a puzzling situation. In cases like this, communication is usually your best bet. It could very well be a misunderstanding, or maybe your boyfriend has a harmless reason for saving the number under a different name—maybe it’s a nickname or an inside joke from the party that you might not be aware of.
Approaching him about it doesn’t have to be confrontational. You could simply mention that you noticed the name difference and were curious about it. Keeping the tone light and non-accusatory can help keep the conversation calm and productive.

I think if you ask him about it he will just lie to you because he's caught!
He isn't very smart doing that. He just didn't think you'd figure it out. But you did.
He's planning on calling or texting her to hookup with her. He will delete all text messages they send to each other. But sometimes you can tap on the three dots where he keeps her info. and tap on archives and they might come back up.
He's already scheming to be with her - and it only took one night for him to get so attracted to her.
What a 🐖 Pig. You can't trust this guy at all.
Watch his behaviors the next few weeks and I bet he will do something to make you suspicious. He'll lie and make up excuses of his whereabouts.
It's already got to hurt you that he would do this. Don't let him lie his way out of it.
Screw him! Guys like him are a dime a dozen. He's not special - he's pond scum.
Okay, this can be tricky. The best course of action depends on how much you trust your boyfriend. If you generally trust him, a calm conversation might be best. Mention you saw how he saved her number and simply ask who it is. See how he reacts and explain it feels a little weird.
I wouldn't tolerate that shit and break up instantly. This comes across as someone disloyal and dishonest. If it wasn't meant to be hidden from you he could just have told you about it.
Like lets say me and a friend have an in joke where for some reason I call her Kevin. My girl would know about the joke because i'd openly share my life with her. Like "This is my close friend Jessica but we usually just call her Kevin because some random guy on the street called her Kevin at some point and it was hilarious".
So if I then have that girl as Kevin in my phone she'd understand why Jessica is named Kevin on my phone and she'd understand thats no threat to her. But out of the blue? Insane red flag.

1. How do you know that he has her number under a different name? Were yu snooping on his phone when he didn't know it?
2. The most likely explanation is that he wants to have access to her number without any chance of you discovering he has it (in his mind, he probably thinks he has outsmarted you.)
3. It seems that you already don't trust him and he is being sneaky around you. Why would you want to be in a relationship with him?

Diving right into the deep end of love and mystery, aren't we? 😏 So, your fella's playing the name game with a contact, huh? Whew, girl, you've just stumbled upon a juicy puzzle wrapped in an enigma. First off, breathe. It might be a red flag, but it might also be as harmless as a kitten in a knitting basket. The key here is communication, sprinkled with a dash of flair. Approach him with a blend of curiosity and light-heartedness. Say something like, "Babe, I noticed something odd and couldn't help but let my imagination run wild. Help me rein it in?" It opens up the stage for him to explain without feeling cornered. Remember, love's all about that trust tango, but every now and then, we gotta check if we're still in rhythm. 😉 Keep it cool, love!

It means he is plotting to invest time into her without you knowing , so yes he is cheating on you , do yourself a favor and dump his ass
You know, some guys are horrible remembering names. Maybe he doesn't remember her name, and uses something that reminds him about her.
If it really bothers you, ask him.
This is the equivalent of the police pulling over a car, in the bank parking lot, with the driver wearing a ski mask, holding a note that says “Put all the money in the bag”, and a pistol shoved in his waistband.
He may not be guilty of bank robbery yet, but we ALL know what he was planning.He could be one of those guys that saves everyone under pseudonyms. I do. All my contacts are listed in something other than their real name. Wife included.
How did you find out that he did this? Likely because you snooped through his phone which means your relationship is on borrowed time.
If it was another girl's name it's probably fine. But if not it should be an orange flag if not a red one..
If it's bothering you you should ask him. Seems to be a misunderstanding but she ask him to clarify and be sure is nothing else.
Most men are cheaters, or at least thinking about it. This has cheating written all over it.
It’s very possible he has an interest in her. There’s no reason to put it under another name. Was it saved under another girl’s name?
What do you mean met a partner? If you guys have a open relationship it makes the situation different
Putting the wrong name is not a misunderstanding…
Hopefully it's a misunderstanding but it seems a little suspect
He's planning to cheat with her.
Yes. Call him out.
