Husband not home

My husband had a work do this eve and said he'd be home around midnight. He then messaged on a colleague's phone around 1am saying he was drunk and his phone was locked in another office.
I missed a call from his phone an hour later as I was asleep. Haven't been able to sleep properly since as kept waking up. It's now gone 5am and he's still not home. It's so out of character so I'm now worried about him. This is because he takes our daughter to an activity on Sat morning like clockwork and would need to be In a couple of hours with her. He's a really good husband and parent I'm not worried about him cheating etc.
What do I do? How do I find him? What time is it acceptable to message the colleague who's phone he messaged me off?
My mind keep jumping to all sorts of awful scenarios.

It’s great that you have understanding for him spending the night elsewhere. Dont say we didn’t warn you when you end up posting about your discovery in a few months time. He may seem incapable but his story sounds totally made up, and I would say almost 110% he is being unfaithful to little naive wife. Because you swallow his shite.

How can his story sound totally made up, the OP has not give any details on here about his 'story'. best you jog on because the OP has said numerous times she gets anxiety attacks so you're just shit-stirring now. "Little naive wife" is just Little You being derogatory and a keyboard warrior.

I’m glad he’s home safe. And just to say - there have been times when I’ve decided to sleep on someone’s sofa after a work event- because I was tired, or had a few too many, or because the party was still going and I didn’t want to leave. I managed not to sleep with anyone!!!

Don’t listen to all those bitter MNetters who are trying to tell you your husband is unfaithful. You know your husband. I’d much prefer my partner stays at a friends rather than tries to stumble home drunk, tired and cold.

You need a better hobby.

Glad he's ok OP.
Ignore the stirrers. I've done the same (similar) as your husband in the past. Drank too much, too quickly and passed out on a friend's couch. Everyone slips up now and then. X

Stop projecting your shit onto someone else. The OP is a real person with anxiety issues and you are being hysterical about a relationship you know absolutely nothing. Just stop.
