Am I being unreasonable?

Name changed for this one.

My partner drops my son off at school in the mornings. They usually run into one of the boys in his class and his mum. Todays his last day before the summer holidays.

My partner asked the mum for her number to meet up with them during the holidays since the kids are friends. He was mentioning how we should do this, and I was planning on asking her when I picked my son up.

Would you be ok with your partner asking for a mums number or would you prefer to do it yourself?

He’s not after a date. Confused
Of course it’s ok.

Unless you have serious relationship issues and he has a history of cheating or chatting up other mums at the school gate, it wouldn’t occur to me to be bothered who asked for her number.

He's told you the reason for it so I doubt he's hiding something - if he was up to something he would've done it behind your back.

I'd be fine with this

Is it that you feel he is muscling in on your friendship with this mum, or is it that you feel it's inappropriate for men to ask mums for their numbers?
