No am I being unreasonable. I'm so worried and I don't know where else to put this and I have no family to ring or dp has no family i can ring.

DP went out for a work meal at 7pm leaving me behind with our 16 month old dd for some nice time to spend together. I get a phone call at 10pm and he's drank himself stupid and he doesn't know where he is. I told him to ring a taxi or go into the nearest shop and ask for them to do it. He said he will and he hung up. 30 minutes later I rang him and asked him if he's okay and he said 'no' and then all I heard was him throwing up then he ended the call. I've tried ringing him since, loads of times and hes not answering.

I am beside myself. What if somethings happened to him? Will the police do anything if I ring them? I can't go out and look for him because of dd.

Have you got friends you can ask to either watch DD or go look for him? X

Does he have previous form for getting very drunk? If it's not entirely out of character, I'd probably just say he will make his way home at some point (and if he's throwing up he'll probably sober up reasonably swiftly too). If it's very out of character for him, then that's different.

Can you contact any of the workmates he was with?

winesolveseverything · 21/12/2018 23:29

Can you call the venue where he was and ask if any of his work party are still there? If so, could one of them go and look for him?
Is he in the local area?

I would imagine if he only went out at 7 and was outing by 11 he should hopefully sober up pretty soon. Shitty of them to leave him if he was that kissed though.

babysharkah · 21/12/2018 23:35

Pissed...

Drogosnextwife · 21/12/2018 23:38

Don't panic, he will be fine. He's probably too sque wiff to see his phone.

Sparklesocks · 21/12/2018 23:38

I can see why you’re worried but chances are he’s just too drunk and has wandered off, but will sober up and be fine (maybe quicker if he’s thrown up all the drink!).
Does the phone ring when you call or is it switched off, goes straight to voicemail?

covetingthepreciousthings · 21/12/2018 23:42

Can you call any of his colleagues and ask them to try find him if they are near to where he was last seen?

Try not to worry too much OP Thanks

recklessruby · 21/12/2018 23:43

If he s throwing up then he s not fine so probably can't cope with a phone call.
Hopefully he s got some good friends who will get water and organise a taxi.
Keep calm, find a bucket and some cold water and await sad sorry very sick man (been there so many times)

Why do people put up with this behaviour? Always seeing threads like it 🙄

CoughLaughFart · 22/12/2018 00:56

Why do people put up with this behaviour?

Grown adults going out for a few drinks? It’s hardly systematic abuse.

OP - your best bet is to try to contact someone he’s with. The police would be less than pleased to get a call on the Friday before Christmas saying ‘Please help - my adult husband might be struggling to get a cab’.

WhyDontYouComeOnOver · 22/12/2018 02:08

It's not a grown adult going out for a drink though, is it?

It's a grown adult going out for a drink, drinking to excess, so much so that they don't know where they are, vomiting somewhere, worrying their partner then being uncontactable. Hardly the same.

Elllicam · 22/12/2018 02:15

I hope he gets home soon OP.

PointlessUsername · 22/12/2018 02:19

Hoping he is home now Op

Smilingthru · 22/12/2018 08:21

Have you found him? X

RadioGagga · 22/12/2018 08:26

To be that drunk after only 3 hours?

onalongsabbatical · 22/12/2018 08:33

Is he home OP? Flowers

covetingthepreciousthings · 22/12/2018 09:24

Hoping you had some luck in getting him home OP.
