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???

I don’t know my husbands mobile hunger and we’ve been together 2 years the only mobile number I know off by heart is mine.

I meant mobile number not hunger

Well this was a coincidence after reading the original post and then responding by saying we'd given the kids a note of our numbers for their wallets ... Our 19 year old went out with friends on New Year's Eve. The rest of our family went to a friend's house and we were going to pick the 19 year old up on the way home at around 1am. Yep, you guessed it ... he lost his phone so we couldn't get hold of him to find out where he was. However, fortunately he remembered he had our numbers in his wallet so he was able
to contact us from a mate's phone. Without that we'd never have got hold of each other and would have been worried sick!

YABU to be annoyed he doesn't know your number by heart. I actually usually know a fair few numbers by heart, but when asked for my number by a police officer (interviewed as a witness to a crime) I couldn't for the life of me think what it was and had to look it up!

However, YANBU to think that writing your number down and sticking it in his wallet is a good idea. Such an easy thing to do, and might be useful someday. Just because his phone has never been lost/stolen/flat battery before doesn't mean it will never happen.

I don't know stbexh nor dp's, perhaps should write them down

Seriously? I've been with DH 36 years, married nearly 30. I haven't a clue what his mobile number is (and neither does he) but I can remember his mum's house phone number from when we were 16. Think you're being a bit dramatic and needy.

Yanbu, shocked at the responses. It came in handy recently when I had to call dh and my phone died and had to borrow a stranger's phone.

I don't know dhs off by heart.. Know the end part but thats it
Doubt he knows mine

SquishyLint · 03/01/2020 07:25

God, I can barely remember my own.

Husband definitely doesn’t know mine and vice versa, and we’ve been together for over 10 years.

PandaCat · 03/01/2020 07:28

We don't know each other's numbers by heart, we've been together 10.5 years and had the same numbers for the last 7, almost 8 years..

I know the numbers in his phone number but not the correct order.
