To be annoyed he doesn't know my phone number by heart

Been together 6 years and we have two children (one dd and dss who lives with us full time).

It's really pissing me off that he doesn't know my mobile number, he doesn't even have it written down on anything in his wallet. What if something happened and he needed to call me but didn't have his phone?? He says that will never happen and he's never needed it before.

AIBU here???

This is not something to get annoyed about.

Nicknacky · 30/12/2019 21:07

I don’t know my husbands number and we have been together 20 years. I don’t know if he knows mine.

Get a fucking grip!!!

YesItsMeIDontCare · 30/12/2019 21:08

I don't know anyone's except my own. Make sure you've got your Medical ID set up then anyone can access your emergency numbers if necessary.

Been with my DP almost nine years (he's had the same number the whole time), I don't know his phone number off by heart - he doesn't even know his off by heart.

It's not something that I would get annoyed about either.

44PumpLane · 30/12/2019 21:09

This is a weird thing to get annoyed about

Ohyesiam · 30/12/2019 21:09

If this is what you see as a problem, you live a very fortunate life.

PinkiOcelot · 30/12/2019 21:09

I don’t know anybody’s number off by heart. Didn’t realise it was a big deal tbh.

MoreHairyThanScary · 30/12/2019 21:09

Whaaaatt ! I don't even remember my own work phone number half the time!

ICJump · 30/12/2019 21:10

We've been together 15 years and have 3 children. I don't know my partner's number. I'm sure he doesn't know mine

Whatsername177 · 30/12/2019 21:10

I don't know DHS. Been together 17 years and married for 10. Mental thing to get annoyed about.

Crazypanda85 · 30/12/2019 21:10

Don't know anyones except my Dad's.
No idea of husbands

Fannia · 30/12/2019 21:10

I don't know anyone's mobile number by heart, I even have to check my own. You sound like you are determined to create some kind of a problem.

Yoohoo16 · 30/12/2019 21:10

I don’t know dhs and he doesn’t know mine after 11 years. Can’t see the issue.

TooleyVanDooley · 30/12/2019 21:10

I’ve got no idea what DP’s phone number is. I don’t think that memorising phone numbers is a thing any more.

Offler · 30/12/2019 21:10

I can never remember my husband's (Not all of it anyway), he probably can't remember mine.

🤷‍♀️

mindutopia · 30/12/2019 21:11

Honestly, we have 2 dc and have been together 11 years and I still don’t know my dh’s number. I finally started to carry one of his business cards in my wallet maybe a year or two ago just in case I ever needed to look it up. I don’t know my own mum’s number either!

Kungfupanda67 · 30/12/2019 21:11

Are you genuinely annoyed about this? I don’t know if my husband knows mine, I doubt it. I know his but only because I’m the form filler in the relationship. As long as he knows someone’s number, or his Facebook login, or his email login, he’d be able to contact someone in the event of him losing his phone in a distant land nowhere near anyone he knows?

melissasummerfield · 30/12/2019 21:11

Are you stuck in the 90s OP Grin

DieSchottin93 · 30/12/2019 21:12

I only know my own phone number and my home phone number off by heart. Don't have a partner but couldn't tell you what my parents' numbers are. I do carry a diary round me in my handbag though with emergency contact numbers etc in it Smile

TheFaerieQueene · 30/12/2019 21:12

I don’t know my DH, DS or anyone’s number anymore. You really are looking for issues.

  • that said, I remember my parents’s phone number from when I was at primary school 😆
danni0509 · 30/12/2019 21:12

I don't even know my own number off heart!

TheWildWoods · 30/12/2019 21:13

The only number I 100% remember is my grandparents and it's not even theirs anymore.

MamToTeens · 30/12/2019 21:13

My DH doesn’t know his own, never mind anyone else’s!

Spacerader · 30/12/2019 21:13

The only numbers I know off by heart are my mine and my parents land line which has been the same since forever.

I dont know dps and he doesn't know mine. At an absolute push I might be able to guess the last the numbers of is.
