Worried about the man I’ve been seeing

I’ve been seeing someone for 17 months - long distance a 2hr drive away. I mainly go to him as we do a hobby together where he lives. We see one another every 2 weeks or so. Recently he has not replied to messages for several days . We both live alone and, apart from this hobby, doesn’t do much else - I have family very near. He hasn’t replied to my message on Saturday - messaged today to ask if he is ok - not read so tried to phone - again no reply so left a voice message asking him to let me know he’s ok. He would normally do the hobby this afternoon - I know someone who also attends at the same time - would it be unreasonable to contact her to ask if he is there? He hates drama as do I but I’m getting really worried - it could be that he’s just ghosting me and don’t want to involve others if that is the case.

What an amazing update I’m so pleased for you. I sometimes think we have to kiss a few frogs to know our worth and find our Prince. Well worked like that for me anyway.

What a fantastic update. Go you. I love that you got rid of ‘twat’ and went on to find someone much more suitable and who clearly adores you. Warms my heart. Have a lovely holiday. ❤️

This is amazing!!
I was following your thread when you stated it and was a lovely read to see it come up today and your updates since chrismtas. So happy for you!

And a relationship with your own houses and lives, but then spending time together and holidaying sounds ideal.

Yay!
