AIBU to be so worried?

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.

My DH does things like this all the time. He doesn't seem to grasp the concept of charging his phone, or knowing where it is for more than about 8 seconds.

I'm sure it will all be fine OP but I can't imagine that helps you to stop worrying

Lozzie12 · 23/05/2016 18:39

I hope you get news soon and all is OK.

imwithspud · 23/05/2016 18:40

I think I would be worried too op, it would be unusual for my dp to be rendered un-contactable. Hopefully there's a simple/reasonable explanation and he gets to his night shift on time.

Hope all is well OP x

JinRamen · 23/05/2016 18:53

I would be worried too with those circumstances. Hope it is all cleared up soon and it is that he has dropped his phone at the old house or something.

Iwasbornin1993 · 23/05/2016 18:58

Hope he turns up soon, OP Flowers

SmokingGun · 23/05/2016 18:59

Fingers crossed he has just left his phone somewhere and is running late because of it.

Do you have his workmates contact details or could you get them? You could always ring him to see if he has heard from DP?

ARoomDimAtNoon · 23/05/2016 19:02

Hoping he's turned up by now with some Flowers and Chocolate for you after all this worry!

FerkTheeesSheet · 23/05/2016 19:02

I hope you're ok, and that there is a perfectly simple explanation Flowers I would be worrying too.

Goingtobeawesome · 23/05/2016 19:05

I hope it is just a lack of phone battery rather than lack of thought

BeautyGoesToBenidorm · 23/05/2016 19:06

Hope he turns up safe and well OP, thinking of you Flowers

spiderlight · 23/05/2016 19:09

I'd be worried too, but he'll have locked his phone in his van or something daft like that. I hope you hear from him soon. Let us know!

calibee · 23/05/2016 19:17

How awful for you OP. I hope you have some answers by now Flowers

blankmind · 23/05/2016 19:17

Does his phone have a tracker on it? Can you find him, or his lost phone via that?

BonitaFangita · 23/05/2016 19:22

Thinking of you Kinky I hope he's okay. Flowers

YorkieDorkie · 23/05/2016 19:24

Just checking in, fingers crossed everything is okay OP. I think it's safe to say we're all waiting with bated breath Flowers.

CinderellaFant · 23/05/2016 19:24

Hope all ok

Agadooo · 23/05/2016 19:27

Hope all ok and now been in touch-probably dropped his phone somewhere x

incogKNEEto · 23/05/2016 19:27

Wishfulmakeupping · 23/05/2016 19:30

Hope you've heard from him op and all is well

StealthPolarBear · 23/05/2016 19:30

My Samsung just freezes every now and again and it's useless for a few houra

Ivegotyourgoat · 23/05/2016 19:30

Any news? Yes I'd be worried I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation.

BitOutOfPractice · 23/05/2016 19:32

Oh goodness, I'd be worrying too by now.

Hope all is OK Thanks
