DH not home

28 replies

DH is out on a hobby this evening, it’s a 20 minute drive away.

He quite often nips to the pub on the way home with the others who do the hobby, and I’m usually asleep by the time he gets back, although if he doesn’t do the pub bit he would be home by 10.30pm.

I’ve just woken up randomly and he’s not here. I’ve sent him a WhatsApp which isn’t showing as “read” and shows he was last seen on WhatsApp at 11.13pm which would make sense for a leaving pub time.

I realise it would be overreacting to call the police at this point, but what do I do? I have two sleeping DDs so can’t leave the house (and don’t actually know which pub they go to so can’t drive back along his route to look) and I don’t know who else would have been there.

If this is genuinely becoming a worry for you, ask him to share his location on his phone and then you can see where he is. Is he being treated/investigated for sleep apnoea and dementia?

Falling asleep on a friend's sofa due to sleep apnea sounds like it's not under control and he shouldn't be driving.

@ditzzy this is MN. Sleep apnea or dementia is far too boring. If you have been here 16 years you should know if a DH isn't home when expected the answer is always an affair or drugs, so snoop through his phone, get your ducks in a row and ltb. All in the spare of a thread so you can keep the masses updated 😀
