Um should I be worried?

Dp went to watch our local football team this afternoon and was going for a drink after, said he'd be back by 7. He's not. And his phones off. I don't mean to sound annoyingly motherly, he's 32! But quite unlike him...:-/

Totally agree with AKAEmma there is no way I'd drag my DC round aimlessly looking for a bloke who is likely pissed or waylaid.

Right but what was he DOING all night? If he wasn't pissed or getting pissed. I'm mystified.

Yeah, what was he up to for 12 hours?

He was in a club with mates. I've seen the fb pics. He just wasn't drinking

Convenient that his phone dies tho!!!
Was he not man enough to ask his friends to borrow their phones to let you know where he was. Is he so weak that he let himself be bullied by these so called mates knowing you were expecting him home.
Sorry OP what a poor excuse..i would be shoving both the flowers and the lamb somewhere that the son doesn't shine.
He has got away with it this time....until the next time what will be his excuse then? He was kidnapped ?

Good job we're not all that cynical and untrusting isn't it?!

No matter when his phone died, at any point in the evening he could have taken just a tiny minute to call or text you from a mates phone - just to say don't wait up & don't worry!

Don't let the flowers make you forget that OP!

He could have, yes. But because he didn't, that doesn't automatically mean he was up to no good.

I trust my DH implicitly and if he did this, yes I'd be pissed off, but I wouldn't assume he was with another woman etc.

Flowers and a roast dinner are not an admission of guilt, they're a gesture to say sorry for worrying you in my book.

No it doesn't mean he was up to no good - but it does mean he is prepared to switch off from his P to the extent that in the moment it will not matter to him that he is being thoughtless and careless with his partners feelings/emotions. He can always make it up with a bunch of flowers tomorrow.

WTF not just not be considerate, take a tiny moment to make the call & save her a night of hysteria & grief?
