DH has gone missing

Name changed for this as I don't want this attached to my usual name.

Long story short DH (and his friend) has gone missing and I have no idea what to do!

He went out to friends on Sunday evening around 6. He called at 9ish said he was staying out but would be home approx 10am Monday morning.
All fine as he didn't have work etc etc.
I had a message from his friend st around 2pm Monday saying that DHs phone has died and that DH is really sorry he is late but he'll be home by tea time.
Since then no one has seen or heard from DH or his friend.
I've checked the police custody suite, hospitals, as many friends that I can think of and been round to friends house but obviously no one was there.
I'm worried sick, I can't sleep, can't eat and my anxiety is only letting me think the worst has happened.

I know this is about ranty, sorry for that! I just needed to talk about how scared I am. Can anyone think of a logical explanation to where they could have got to? I need abit of hope that he's okay! Sad

So sorry he put you through all that OP. I've been following but had nothing to add that others hadn't already posted just kept hoping he was alive with a great apology for putting you through all the worry. Stay strong. Now he has to face everyone knwing all he put you through.

DreamInterrupted · 17/06/2016 07:30

What a wanker. So sorry for you.

blueskyinmarch · 17/06/2016 07:36

shockthemonkey · 17/06/2016 07:48

What a stupid shit

leica · 17/06/2016 07:49

God. How awful. I'm so sorry that he's put you through this. Flowers

SouthWesterlyWinds · 17/06/2016 07:51

Oh fucking hell. I did hunk maybe he had got talked into a drunk football weekend, or that he even made it to the south of France for a match but this is shit. So sorry OP. What a twat to do this to you and DC, for wasting police and NHS time - what's to bet his friend managed to get hold of him after the police turned up at his house? Bellend

Rainbowlou1 · 17/06/2016 07:53

Oh my goodness...what a horrible update.
I'm so so sorry Flowers

rainbowstardrops · 17/06/2016 07:53

What an utter bastard!!!

How on earth did he think he was going to get away with it?

I know your heart probably feels broken right now but I'd say you've had a lucky escape.

Turn that hurt into anger and bag all his stuff up and lob it at him! He'd need A&E after I'd finished with him!

Take care OP Flowers

HermioneJeanGranger · 17/06/2016 07:54

Jesus OP, what wanker FlowersChocolate

ParisGellar · 17/06/2016 08:07

What a cunt. So sorry OP. Sounds like you'll be better off without this pathetic excuse for a human.

smilingeyes11 · 17/06/2016 08:07

bloody hell - you think you have heard some stories then you get a shocker like this. So very sorry. I also agree about an sti test for yourself - so sorry.

LemonLimeTonic · 17/06/2016 08:07

Far out!!! What an absolute wanker!!! Start bagging up his clothes. I hope you're okay and friends and family with you. Bastard. I can't believe anyone would do something like this! I hope you throw the book at him!

MidMay · 17/06/2016 08:13

Shows the measure of the 'man' to put you through this.... I'm sure you must feel very raw right now but in time you will see you are so much better off without him. Flowers

Parmaviolets13 · 17/06/2016 08:13

Oh god OP, I'm so sorry. You sound like an incredibly strong woman, you and your beautiful Son will get through this. Flowers for you xxx

Capricornandproud · 17/06/2016 08:17

Just catching up and so sorry to read this OP. How do you feel about it? He will so regret this later in life and you'll be miles better off without him and his immature ways.

Get legal advice, get money moved and keep level headed friends around you. Tell everyone immediately what he's put you through; it'll help if you have a wobble about ever taking him back. Going it alone as a mum will seem terrifying but you'll be brilliant... You've already shown resilience beyond belief!!!

So so sorry to read your last update OP. I really hope you are as okay as can be and managed to sleep a bit xx

ItWasNeverASkirt · 17/06/2016 08:36

I'm so sorry. What an awful thing for him to do. You sound great and he sounds like an idiot; it's definitely his loss.

Lweji · 17/06/2016 08:41

Really sorry it turned out that way, although I'm not surprised, unfortunately.

If he has mental health problems I hope he can sort them out, but he simply seems callous and selfish.
I don't think people with mental health problems disappear with a friend like that.

Sparrowlegs248 · 17/06/2016 08:42

What absolute shitty cowardly behaviour. So sorry Op though clearly you are well rid of him.

PotatoesPastaAndBread · 17/06/2016 08:43

OP I've been following your thread and I'm sorry it's turned out this way. The days and weeks to come won't be easy and I wish you love and strength. The relationships board is a great place to seek support and advice when you need it. Good luck to you and your son Flowers

Sadly this thread makes uncomfortable reading. It is of course a dramatic story. But there are posts on here that are beyond unhelpful. Lists of questions. Has the OP done this or that? Then berating her for the situation being far fetched, her responses too infrequent or the situation too implausible. And on occasion, posters going to great lengths to say that for their partner would never behave this way. Of course everyone is free to post what they like. I'm just commenting on what I've seen and I feel so sad that someone asking for help had so much negativity and pressure thrown her way.

OP you owe us you nothing: not an update or a reason or an explanation. Anyone not happy with what they see can leave the thread or report it. So many posters have been supportive, I hope that is some comfort OP.

girlinacoma · 17/06/2016 08:46

OP - I'm so sorry to hear this. What a hideous human being he turned out to be Sad.

I hope she was worth it Angry

Surround yourself with friends and family now and accept all the support you can get my love xx

AliceInUnderpants · 17/06/2016 08:53

there's no moving forward from here

You will move forward, you and your lovely lad. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe next week or next month... you will dust yourself off, relearn how to put one foot in front of the other. You'll fake the smile to begin with until one day you'll find its real again. You will absolutely do everything you have to be the best mum that little boy could ever have, because this has all shown that you are a good person. You've done everything you could for this man, in the face of many posters speculating what he had done all you wanted was for him to be safe. You are a good person, and you will continue to be a fantastic mum. One day, one minute at a time. Please take care of yourself, and if people offer help, let them. Flowers
