AIBU to be so worried?

[KinkyAfro]

We had to move out of our rented house at the weekend due to landlord selling up, so we moved into my mums. All good, mum and DP get on great so no issues there. DP is on night shifts starting tonight but said he'd go to the house to clear up any last bits, do a tip run and pack the few remaining bits and bobs up. Sent him a text to remind him to take down the hanging baskets and to put a couple of massive planters in his van - no response. Mum messaged him to say she'd got him some lunch - no response. I've tried calling about 5 times, have left a message and a couple of texts to say that I was a bit worried so could he get in touch. He's never out of touch for long, has no form for being a dick, usually checks in (his choice) a few times a day by text because his work plans often change during the day. He told me he was going back to mums about 3.30 to get showered and then leave for a night shift a fair bit away from where we live. Mum's just messaged to say he hasn't been home and his work clothes are still laid out in the spare room.

WWYD? I'm at work until 5.30 and a good hour's drive away.

If he was running late does he need the work clothes? Could he just manage with what he's got to save time?

I think it's more likely that his day overran and he's just trying to catch up. Hope it gets sorted soon OP.

Sorry this is on your mind OP. Just another thing to keep in mind - my (otherwise fine, new) phone sometimes doesn't ring on my side when people call (they then email to get hold of me) - some sort of bug, or I accidentally leave it on silent and miss a day's worth of calls. Happens loads.

If he had been in an accident then someone would answer his phone. It's more likely that he has dropped/lost his phone - maybe in the house and he's given the keys back?

Or he's locked himself out of the van with phone inside?

I hope you've heard from him now OP. I'm a huge worrier and I know how you feel.

Is it poss you can get in touch workmate he's picking up?

Goodness how worrying for you. I'm assuming you're driving home now. Fingers crossed when you get there he is waiting for you.

Hope you've heard something xx

I hope you hear something soon OP. I'd be just as worried as you. Hug.

Hope you hear soon OP x

Really hope he has been in contact OP as like you, I'd also be worried.

If not, was it his van or a hired one? If hired, can you check with hire company if been returned or may have a tracker?

Perhaps try landlord to see if he has actually been to your old house?

Perhaps worth a quick call to local Police with reg number or local hospital if no contact continues into this evening? I hope it's all really explainable.

It's probably a dead phone OP

YANBU I'd be really worried if I were you do you have a number for the mate he's taking to Hull so you can check if he's no showed?

Hope he gets in contact soon

Phone switched to silent and not in his pocket? Would explain why it rings and is not answered.

Sending you huge hugs, op, I always worry if I don't hear from someone when I'm supposed to too. Is there any way you can ring his workplace? X

Hope he shows up soon. Hope its something simple like he dumped the phone accidentally and has been driving about madly trying to find it.

Hope he turns up soon, understand why you're worried

I hope he's just got held up somewhere and has gone straight to work without time to call.

I'm a shockingly back worrier so I do sympathize. Try to remember that most of the time in these cases there's a perfectly logical explanation. I'd say phone is either lost or broken. I hope you have some news soon.

I hope he turns up soon.

Oh poor you. I'd be worrying too. I hope it's all a big misunderstanding.

I'd be a bit worried but I'd think I was being daft IYSWIM

Chances are he's lost his phone or something.

I've been a worrier in the past and every single time there has been a logical explanation. Fingers crossed you hear soon.

I'd be worrying too. Hope he turns up soon!
