writes: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. 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 me and him talked about it. But now in the last month or so, he has ran into an old friend from school, and also some random 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.

I think it depends entirely on the who the person is and what their relationship is with your boyfriend. An old friend that he's not seen in a while? I can't see a problem and probably wouldn't worry too much about it. Random girls he's just met? I wouldn't be happy about that to be honest.

Some people here will tell you you're insecure, but just listen to your gut instincts, they are usually right.

 I'd be upset, Reconnecting is a high risk activity. Overall it is a pattern of setting up a plan B. It says that he is not secure in his relationship with you.

 Carefully find out the type of friendship he has with these other women before jumping to conclusions. You can spy on his calls and texts without his knowledge. You can check his contacts list to see whether other numbers (apart from yours) are saved with "Darling",etc.
But are you sure other guys don't give you their numbers too?
