Was this a weird reaction?
I’m in a fairly new relationship. Both late 20s. Boyfriend found a ripped off piece of paper with a male name and number written down whilst cleaning my car as a favour (I am driving a group of hens next weekend and mentioned needing to get car cleaned). The number was for a gardener I ran into when in my local. I’ve been searching for him for years as he was extremely reasonably priced and did a decent job when my parents used him for their garden years ago. He’s also in his 50s if not 60s.
Anyway, boyfriend very dramatically pulls out the paper when we were in the middle of having dinner (I had made an effort to cook and set the table nicely) and he very abruptly says “can you please explain this”. He’s not in the slightest bit controlling but the whole thing just weirded me out. How to make a mountain out of a molehill…
I’ve not seen a single red flag in the few months we’ve been serious. I’m not saying this is a right red flag but it’s not a green one either.
Why not breezily mention “oh and here’s the number you had written down, still need it?”
