To be worried about my girlfriend?

We don't live together-she's an hour's drive away. We've been together 18 months, see one another every couple of weeks, or more if we can.

She always texts me all the time. If either one of us is unable to for any reason we'll usually say 'right I'm going to go to X now, will text when I get back', she's even more conscientious about this than I am.

She last texted me at 7pm and I've sent a reply, but nothing back.

She was at a friend's earlier and has a longish walk home. She'd usually text to say she's on her way home though too and hasn't.

AIBU to be worried? Should I text friend and ask if she's still there or has she gone and perhaps something happened on the way home? Is that silly and will I appear like a crazed stalker? It's just so out of character.

She hasn't been online at all in that time either.

WWYD?

I wouldn't either in this case. I would think it odd if say, I'd not text for an hour and they knew I was at work or at a friends or something, but if there was a possibility I was on my own in the dark somewhere and it had been 3 and a half hours? Definitely not. I Just posted here to reassure myself and I appreciate all the replies. Women are often in danger unfortunately.

I also don't think It's so weird that someone may be unable to make a phone call but be able to text. Lots of instances support that scenario, anywhere you have to be quiet, for example.

I think you were just being caring.
A walk home in the dark- she could have tripped/ had an accident if late just checking up is sensible.

Don’t worry, OP, I’m surprised nobody said she (your gf) should LTB (you)

It’s very nice that you’re trying to make sure she’s safe, not unhealthy Hmm

Thank you doorisajar and redsquirrel. It might have seemed crazy if I normally only heard from her once or twice a day (like a PP said with her boyfriend) but I don't, we message all the time, if that's not what others do that's obviously fine, but if someone always texts goodnight, always tells you when they're home etc-that's something to notice IMO, especially if it is possible they've walked home alone in the dark.Better safe than sorry.
