help missing husband

22 replies

ladyflower23 · 17/10/2014 23:34

I'm 17 weeks pg (hence on these boards). Husband went out for drink after work in London (we live in Brighton). Hasnt come home and hadn't heard from him so texted and got one back saying lost and to go to bed. Called him and he's so drunk he can barely speak and ended up hanging up on me without me getting any information. Tried calling and texting but not answering. Does anyone know if there's anyway of tracking him down??!! I mean I guess I cant call police to track down drunk man nearly 40, but worried about where he is/what will happen to him in that state :(

Posting in pregnancy wont really get you very many replies. Your post isn't about your pregnancy, it's about your idiot of a husband, so you would be better posting on a board called _chat or in Relationships... as you might want some help dealing with the muppet.

What kind of phone does he have?

ChippingInLatteLover · 17/10/2014 23:38

If you click on 'report' along the bar from your name and ask nicely, MN will move it to a better board for you :)

peasandlove · 17/10/2014 23:38

umm does he have an iphone? can you use a find my phone type thing?

peasandlove · 17/10/2014 23:41

how was he planning on getting home from London? Train? I know it wont help your worry but he's probably going to sleep it off somewhere and come home in the morning

Yes he's meant to be getting a train. I wonder if he fell asleep and got off at wrong placeplace. Was really quiet in background. Think I can only do the locate an iPhone thing if I have one as well which I don't. I think my only option might be to try and somehow get some sleep and then give him the showdown to end all showdowns when he eventually turns up. As if j need this Frickin stress!!

If you have a PC you can download it - but you will need his Apple id and password. I think it also needs to be enabled on his phone too. I know you're worried- but I think the best thing to do is try not to stress too much and wait for him to sober up and get himself home.

Then rip him a new one!

ChippingInLatteLover · 18/10/2014 00:06

Oh hopefully when it gets moved someone might be able to help you with the 'find your phone' thing.

Could you ring any of the people he was out with?

If you can sleep then do that.

Have no idea who he's with just work people who I don't have any numbers for. Think I will have to give up and hope for the best. Fun day tomorrow!

I'm sure he'll be fine. Most drunk people seem to have a good homing signal. He's probably just nodded off somewhere.

Youarejustwordsonascreenpeople · 18/10/2014 04:51

Hope you managed to get some sleep. Has he turned up yet? If he hasn't then I hope he does soon. Has he done this before?

MN should move this post for you once they are back in the office.

Justyouwaitandsee · 18/10/2014 05:02

Is he back yet? Does he have any work friends on his facebook you could message? Hoping he is back safe and sound by now, or will turn up in the morning, after sleeping it off somewhere. I have had a couple of exs who made a habit of this, but slightly different when he has responsibilities and a pregnant wife. I hope it is a one off!

blankfornames · 18/10/2014 06:37

Hi Ladyflower, I remember you from the TWW thread! Sorry you're going through this, hope he's back with you now with his tail between his legs.

pippinleaf · 18/10/2014 08:40

Did he show up?

Morning everyone. Thanks for your messages. He turned up fine at 1.30am! Apparently I should have read 'Bit lost. Go to bed. See you in the morning.' As 'I got off at the wrong stop! But I'm on another train now and on my way home, so don't worry, and go to sleep!'. Also I should have realised that the reason he couldn't speak to me on the phone wasn't because he was so drunk, but because he had just woken up. Worst part is I put this app on my phone called 'find my friends' and somehow sent text messages to my phonebook inviting them to let me GPS track them. Some of the numbers it actually texted their home phone numbers, so they would have received a phone call with a recorded voice reading out the message. I know this because it rang my home phone. I just have to hope noone recognises my number. Then I tried pressing another button which said it was calling 999 within 10 seconds. I managed to cancel that. So when he came in I was comfort eating Doritos and trying to uninstall this evil app from my phone. He thought it was hilarious and I was so relieved he was home I kept laughing, which completely wasn't how I envisaged it. Anyway, eventually he admitted that he'd been stupid and apologised, but it was hard to get out of him, as he is a man. I'm going to make him take DS to the park this afternoon so I can have a nap.
Hi Blanks! Hope all is going well for you?

Bloody men!!

peasandlove · 18/10/2014 09:39

glad it worked out in the end. Hopefully this wont be a regular occurrence

blankfornames · 18/10/2014 18:28

My gosh, and my fear used to be drunk texting...how far has technology gone! I'm good thanks, 22 wks & all going well! Time flying by! Hope you have a less eventful evening this evening!!

Glad its all going well blanks. Do you know what you're having?
Thanks cheesecake. I lost him again in Sainsburys yesterday. Am actually going to fit him with a tracking device at this rate! Had a nice relaxing evening with him, strictly and x factor last night. Much better :)

blankfornames · 19/10/2014 22:28

Ha ha, losing him in Sainsbury's! A tracking device sounds like a must! Or tie a balloon from his wrist, you'll never lose him again!!
No keeping it as a surprise! I have a feeling it's a boy though. How about you?
