If you are comfortable with your number, and don't have any problems with it, then well, sorry, but it's his problem. How did the conversation come up? Did he ask? If he asked, then he really should not have asked if he wasn't prepared to know what the answer was.
To say he loses respect for you, again, I'm sorry, but that' is that is just wrong and hurtful and not what someone who is "totally in love" says to another person. Your number is part of your past, not your present, and not your future, but your past, he needs to accept it, or move on from it. But to seemingly hold it over your head, is not a good start to a relationship, because it seems he'll always hold that number over your head.
Have you asked him what disturbs him so much about your number -- Is it that you've ben with more people than he has?
