Hi again! So I have been subjected to a stack of abuse my the ex and kids on my mobile. On top of which my new partner sadly text the ex one day giving them her number which she has received abusive messages on and calls on occassion.

Now I have had enough of the abuse and my partner has asked me to change my mobile number. Now I''m fine with that, anything for peace. So I suggested to my partner to change hers to but she is refusing! Says she has blocked the incoming texts on her phone from her number!

So I point out that that doesn''t stop them calling, that they can get another sim or use another phone to text her but still she thinks I''m unreasonable in suggesting she change her number!!

Now I may be fed up but I''m not stupid and if I change my number and she keeps hers, erm.. they are going to text or call her and send abuse right?

She''s blocked her mobile from texts from the ex. But that doesn''t solve the issue. They still have her number, they can still call or get another sim for free these days. The only real solution is to change our numbers, which I have no issue with. Should it be a big issue to do that if you want to be rid of people and not have them even having the option to contact us... I don''t think so. If you love each other then nothing is too much for your sanity and to save your relationship.

If your partner doesn''t want to change her number, she doesn''t have to - it will be her that has to deal with any unwanted communication from your ex. Perhaps, like me, she has had the same number for years, and sees changing her number purely because you want her to as a major inconvenience. I certainly wouldn''t change my number if I were in her situation.

If her not changing her number to suit your situation is a relationship-breaker, then perhaps you need to think about if this relationship is actually going anywhere, and why you are both in it.

But she want''sd me to change mine right? And we had both agree some time ago we would both change them but now she is asking me to but refusing to change hers. I don''t want my ex sending her stuff, my ex is already doing her best to split us up.

Well her plan A is blocking. If that don''t work, rethink it and may be change to plan B. Your mind is working overtime on what they ''might do''. They might not. Nige.

p.s. what stuff can your ex send her to try to split you up that has got you in such a tizzy and has made this changing her number such an issue? Nige.
