Is it normal that my fiancé can't keep a phone?

My fiancé and I have been together for 5 1/2 years. I love him so much and know that I want to spend the rest of my life with him. However, he isn't a very responsible person and it scares me! He has a lot of debt all over the place and keeps changing jobs. It bugs me that he can't find something he's passionate about but what bugs me most is that he can't keep a phone either! He is constantly breaking his phone, loosing his phone or getting old beaten up phones from friends. I bought him the iPhone 6 two years ago to stop the problem but he kept loosing it and eventually broke it. He calls me off other people's phones but gets embarrassed when I call those phones back when I need to get in touch with him. I have 6 different phone numbers for him stored in my phone because I never know which of the old beaten up phones is going to be working when...is that normal?

    It wasn't normal at 5 1/2 years. If he can't keep a phone and has all that debt is he really a keeper? Only you can decide.

    Yeah, no offense, but your ole boy don't sound much like marriage material. He sounds like the type to leave a tiny baby or a puppy in a hot vehicle in the middle of the summer. You say he's your fiancé so my question to you is what kind of ring did he get you, because if he hasn't gotten you one yet you ought not consider yourself engaged to him. Even if he has gotten you a little something for your finger don't get to attached to it, because your best bet might be to give it back to him and break it off. Seriously, this guy sounds über irresponsible. A marriage is about more than love, it's also a legal thing. Do you really want to marry someone who will probably need you to mother him?

    Give him a bag of quarters and have him use payphones.

    It's going to be tough in emergency situations, especially if you have children. I suggest that you pick 3 extremely trustworthy friends (more or less) who are reliable and care about your safety; have them as your emergency contacts. Get AAA roadside assistance for when you're stuck, and if you can, buy a satellite phone for when you're stranded with no signal.

    It's sucks not being able to rely on your partner, and maybe having a serious talk about it with him may help, but if not, just be prepared.

    Do you really want to marry a child??? Pull yourself together. You clearly know hes not marriage material or boyfriend material for that matter.
