Handhold/distraction thread for AWOL OH?

[CloudyVanilla]

Sorry I'm sure this will be completely unnecessary... But my dp popped to the shops a couple of hours ago and still isn't home. I've just got this sick feeling in the out of my stomach and it's too late to call or worry anyone IRL.

I'm sure there are plenty of perfectly reasonable reasons for him being so late. But the shop he was supposed to go to is only 15 mins away. I could cry, I keep flipping between being sure everything's fine and he's just run into someone and imagining the worst :(

Assuming he's got his wallet on him with ID, in the unlikely event he's in hospital you'd have been notified. That's how I get through the worry when my eldest is out and about at night.

If it is very unlike DH i would contact the police and see what they suggest. Hopefully could put your mind at ease a little knowing they have been informed.

I have read lots of these threads that turned out okay in the end

He's HOME. He was harassed by a group of lads, they started by asking him for a cigarette and then we're basically trying to mug him :( he is a big guy but was on his own, no phone no car. He had to walk under an underpass to get home so jumped on a bus and got stuck as it's late. I'm so relieved. I was literally going to call police at midnight.. Thank you all so much for your support it has really helped

Honestly OP I'd be ringing 101 now as a first port of call then phoning around the hospitals. I can't imagine what you're going through, I'd be sick with sorry too.

Fingers crossed he's home soon and just got talking to someone he knew.

So pleased he is home!

Very relieved for you OP, I hate these scary situations.

Thank goodness

Do you have Facebook? You could post and ask if anyone has seen him.

Never mind x post.

Glad he's home.

Oof, poor guy, that does not sound nice! Glad you've got him back and it wasn't anything more serious though! Sleep well

I think most likely scenario is someone else is hurt and he is helping them. Old lady fallen over and waiting for an ambulance scenario

If it were him I would have thought you would most likely know by now, but to put your mind at rest Id give the local hospital a call.

If theres anyone you can call I would, get them to drive the route. I know you never want to call on people like this but no one is going to mind. If theres no one id call 101 and see what they can do

Oh cross posted. Glad hes home!

Thank god for that OP! So pleased to hear he's home safe

Phew x

Thank you all, he got me treats from the shop still bless him. Going to bed now 💕

Glad he's back that sounds scary, will he report it? There seems to be more of that kind of stuff being mentioned lately on the @tvp_mk twitter

@Exploring really? I definitely think we should report it as it's not okay and also there are plenty of older people around where we live. Fuckers

Definitely report it! And agree between the two of you that you always take a phone, agree a time you’ll be back and will call/text if running late. If you are later than agreed time then no judgment for panicking and calling police!

Glad he’s safe

Bless him so glad he's home. Give him a massive hug.

Poor bloke! V glad he's home. Definitely report it.

Well glad for you that had a good outcome, but I think you would have been well justified in calling up Old Bill and reporting him missing they'd have more capacity to find him that most anyone else.

Well sleep well:)

Nite!..

Oh blimey.

What a night for you both.

Hope you get supported when you report

I'm glad he got home.

What horrible lads, I wish he'd reported them when he got home. Little bastards.
