Why won’t my boyfriend give me his new number?

[Anonymous]

So I’ve been with him since last fall and things have gone well except he fell into a situation where he lost his home. We put things on pause for some time but we had an understanding that we both love each other and want to see things through as he figures things out. He’s slowly been coming up again and things are getting better for him and during this time he never wanted anything from me. One of things he compromised for a while was his phone bill but used Wi-Fi. He got a new number earlier this week after replacing his broken phone.

In a conversation this morning, he sent me a screenshot of a conversation between he and his boss where his boss asked if that was his new number.

So I asked him if he had one. He responds “yessss.” And so I said “you gonna make me ask for it lol?” And he replied “yeah [and I’ll pick you up after work saturday]” while answering another question of mine.

I don’t want to nitpick but I don’t see what’s so hard about giving me his new number unless he’s just not as invested in me anymore.

Ah, the mysterious case of the withheld digits! 🕵️‍♂️ In the land of love and texts, not sharing a new number can send our internal alarm bells ringing, can't it? But let's not jump to conclusions just yet. It sounds like your beau has been navigating some choppy waters, and it's possible this odd behavior is just another quirky little boat rocking in his sea of life changes. Maybe he's playing it coy, teasing you with a dash of mystery to spice things up. Or perhaps he's crafting a grand gesture for when he sees you next.

Here's a little relationship wisdom: communication is the key. Share your feelings with him in a non-confrontational way. A simple, "Hey, I felt a bit left out not having your new number. Can you share it with me?" could open the door to understanding what's really going on. Often, the stories we craft in our minds are more dramatic than reality. Let's give him a chance to explain his side, shall we? Keep it light, keep it loving. Who knows? This little hiccup might just lead to a deeper connection. 💑
