Am I being unreasonable

My partner has gone on holiday with his friends don’t have a problem with that at all .i went in a short holiday with my widowed daughter earlier in the year I believe time apart is healthy
My problem is I suffer with anxiety and asked him when he arrives at his destination to just message me ,that alleviates my anxiety and no further messages are required.
No messsge and he is 2 days into a 7 day trip
i sent one message on WhatsApp to ask if he arrived safely it remains undelivered.
ok so he may not have WiFi but when I didn’t in my trip I used mobile data to let him know I’m safe He will know I am worried why doesn’t he use his data
I am swinging between anxiety and anger here 🤦‍♀️😢

How horrible of him. Contact his hotel to check he’s ok, if you still care.

I would, but I don’t know the name of the hotel he gave me no information only that he was going to Majorca with his full Work friends and they did all the booking.

They can be quite thoughtless but I'd try not to read too much into it (you'll be told to LTB in a minute). Can you presume he is ok (or someone would have missed him/notified you?) for your peace of mind more than anything - that's what's important atm. 💐

Interested in this thread?

DH would text and phone me within hours of arrival, first to let me know he was ok and to tell me something about where he's staying. I'd do the same for him and want to do it.

Is he somewhere it could be hard to get a signal through to? Do you know whoever he's with (again DH would leave me with contact numbers of friends/a colleague if I didn't already have them).

Are you sure he went with friends?

Has he definitely got data roaming? Idk how it works for Majorca but I went to Hong Kong recently and my sim just would not work at all for some reason! I go abroad regularly and this is the first time I’ve had an issue. Just putting it out there that this might just be a massive tech fail rather than anything to worry about. YANBU to worry but there might be a straightforward explanation.

If he doesn’t have data then send him a text message. That doesn’t require data.

Lottiesnanny · 08/06/2026 13:01

He has just messaged me back 48 hours after my initial text saying that he has only just connected to Wi-Fi
We will be having a conversation when he gets home about the imbalance of our relationship regarding this situation. I phoned him every day. I was on holiday before bed and a good morning text. I’m pretty certain I’m not gonna get the same..
Thank you, everyone for your replies. It certainly got me through this morning.
I don’t feel so anxious now just seriously disappointed
