So my DH (35M) is doing a boxing event in march and we made a group chat to get as many people to come as he needs to sell 10 tickets to secure his place, we managed this and i was writing down everyone's names. So a female we will name her (Amy) was mentioned to me by my DH and i assumed it was our mutual friend who we have known for 15 years, its came to light that its actually a female whom he met on Tik Tok about 18 months ago. Now he told me he told me about her but i would 100% remember if he was helping this female. He said she was going through a messy split and court for DV and even said he had asked my advice to help her (i dont remember this).

the issue...

They have been chatting on Whatsapp for 18 months, he gave her his number and kept it from me. He says they talk daily and are just friends.

AITA here? Am i wrong to feel upset and hurt?
why would he give her his number? and behind my back?
He sees nothing wrong with it?

she is travelling down from the coast (2hrs away) to the boxing event where me and all his family are friends will be? Is that normal?

Advice needed because i feel sick..

I have a friend I talk to on WhatsApp most days. We send lots of messages and support each other through life I suppose.
I talk about her regularly and everyone I'm close to knows about her. We are platonic friends but she is very important to me.
My point being if he is just friends with this woman why hasn't he mentioned her. It's strange.

are you male? sorry if that's a dumb question as your name is female so i apologise! he has loads of female friends he talk to daily that he works with and i have no issues at all!

She has 0 boundaries and 0 sense if she posts her entire life on social media. And your partner is loving being the knight in shining armour. He's set up a replacement family by getting in with her daughter

So he’s using YOUR trauma to be knowledgeable in helping her?

What the actual fuck?

I have male friends, my OH has female friends. Most are overlap but one each came via work and neither of us “know” the other. But we talk about them regularly and both randomly end up on a call with them. The fact that he’s never mentioned her is so ugh!!! She’s been kept a secret, which is worrying.

i honestly felt so angry now i'm just annoyed i tell him if anyone messages my ex (eldests dad), even my female friends i give him the banter and the tea! (he knows them all). if she had became a mutual friend there would have been no issue..too late for that now though!

his choice if he does but he would be a fool
