His ex wife's name appears on caller ID

Another day, another concern about a man. smile
Recently, I met a nice guy. We've been on 2 dates.
He told me he has been divorced for 4 yrs. I noticed whenever he calls me from his cell phone his ex wife's name appears. Also, he has not provided me with a home phone #. I haven't asked for it.
Would this cause you to be concerned?

I'd probably be a little concerned, but not all out call it quits. I rarely give out my home phone number, as I have dial up internet and a teenager. Dial up+teenager=busy signal!! lol!!
I would keep my eyes open though.
Have you mentioned to him that his ex's name shows up?
Sorry, but I think your "nice guy" is still married. Or perhaps in the process of divorce, but he doesn't want to tell you he's "only seperated" but still married.
Look, here's the deal: anyone who's legimately been divorced for 4 years isn't still going to be sharing a cell phone account with his ex-wife. That's plenty of time to have accounts, etc separated and have everything in one's own name.
As for the home phone, a lot of people don't have home phones/land lines anymore. So, if he doesn't give you one, that alone wouldn't raise an eyebrow, IMO. But, his cell phone being in his "ex-wife's" name would ... after 4 years? What did he say about it being under her name?
Is there anything else that seems weird? I.e, he only wants to call you, but doesn't want you to call him. Or, if you do call, does he usually not answer?
If so, he very well could still be married. If not, he could be separated but not divorced (ie, if he no longer lives with her, he wouldn't have anything to hide from her, like phone calls).
I'd say, proceed with caution. After only two dates, you might just want to cut your losses. Sounds fishy to me.
