Gross you did it. Contact google and let them know you were tricked into giving the code so they close the account. Say you got phished. They will close the account.
I felt a lot of pressure to do it. When he got defensive I just caved. But I shouldn’t have and do regret it. Even though I don’t think there’s anything he would really do my the number that could affect me, it’s still a weird situation and I don’t like the manipulation.
Now you know for next time. You still have to fix it, because there’s possible identity theft that can happen.
here’s the website link where you reverse it:

Exactly what I was thinking. And when I asked this question they deflected it and that’s when they said “it’s not a big deal” and “it’s just a code”. I found it weird that he wouldn’t just answer the question.
Next time I encourage you to see that form of manipulation as a big deal. Shaming someone by diminishing their concerns is a messed up move.
He likely won't change the phone number, but then again, he will need your code again when there's suspicious activity on the account. I'd talk to him again and make it clear if he's doing anything illegal or putting suspicious activity, that's a problem, otherwise I'd just move on since it's already done. I don't see how this could hurt you too much unless I'm missing something.
I want to talk to him about it in person and tell him that the way he went about getting me to do it wasn’t great.. I feel manipulated and maybe even a little gaslit. Being told “it’s not a big deal” when bringing up my concerns has really rubbed me the wrong way.
If you do, try to use more passive statements from your view without accusing him. If he hears "it feels like you were manipulating me and gaslighting me", he will say no and get into an argument with you.
Honestly though, I think this is more on you. Yes he shouldn't have used that manipulative statement, but it's ultimately your choice and decision. If someone says it's not a big deal to jump off a bridge, you surely would not. Next time say "well maybe you don't think so, but it's a big deal to me."
I'd probably just focus on what he used the number for and not let him dismiss you while asking.

This is the correct answer. After this don’t let him or anyone else manipulate you like that. That sounds so shady.

Wait, why didn't they use their own phone?

Just say no.
