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

Might he be gay? also springs to mind
Along with when was the last time the friend had his boiler serviced?

WeekendAway · 16/06/2016 07:15

why Manchester timely? Confused

Is there some black hole in Manchester we should be aware of?

HenryIX · 16/06/2016 07:16

Hope he has made contact by now.

Shakey15000 · 16/06/2016 07:18

Glad you're going to file a missing persons report, quite right being as it's now Thursday. Did you find his passport? Hope you hear something today.

blueskyinmarch · 16/06/2016 07:19

No-one would go this long without having gone back to the police surely?

BastardGoDarkly · 16/06/2016 07:19

Wtf?! Op, I've never been in this situation before either, but I sure as shit wouldn't need mumsnet to tell me I should be worried, that my DP had been missing for almost 5 fucking days??!

Manchester??

WellErrr · 16/06/2016 07:28

Might he be gay?

Er....wtf?

Hawkmoth · 16/06/2016 07:28

Google 'Manchester Pusher', though I'm not sure if it's going to be helpful to OP Hmm

Hope he turns up soon.

Well either the op will say no don't be silly (most likely) or she will say she's had some suspicions.
If the friend was female I bet the assumption would be that they were having a long dirty weekend

thisisafakename · 16/06/2016 07:34

This is seriously weird. I would never go out without purse/wallet but I guess he was only going to his friend's house. How far away does friend live?
Have you called all his extended family? Do they all know he is missing?
I would use facebook and twitter to raise awareness and contact all his other mates as well to spread the word.

I take it he had the week off work, as otherwise surely his employer would have been calling.

In terms of what could have happened, he and his friend may have had an accident at home (someone mentioned carbon monoxide poisoning). The other alternative is that he has deliberately disappeared, but that does not tally with leaving wallet behind. Unless his friend lives miles and miles away, he could have walked home.

If it turns out he was not injured and just hadn't bothered coming home, I would genuinely leave him (I do hope he is safe and well though).

TheoriginalLEM · 16/06/2016 07:35

hoping all ends well.

pearlylum · 16/06/2016 07:36

What do the police say- It's 4 days he has been missing. I don't quite get this story- sorry.

thisisafakename · 16/06/2016 07:36

Hawkmoth, that is scary indeed, but DH and friend are both missing. How well do you know the friend? One grim scenario might be that the friend has somehow harmed DH and is now on the run.

pointlessperson · 16/06/2016 07:37

Oh how awful op..hope he turns up safe soon Flowers

crunchymommy · 16/06/2016 07:37

Hope he shows up soon !

ScarlettDarling · 16/06/2016 07:38

Op, you need to contact the police now. Missing with no contact for 4 days? I'd be frantic!

Decadeinthesun · 16/06/2016 07:38

It's odd that his friend contacted you on Monday but not your husband himself. Was he covering him for something? Also odd to me that he regularly stays out overnight and he didn't take money. What do they actually do all night? I agree it could be something dodgy.

PurpleRainDiamondsandPearls · 16/06/2016 07:39

To have not reported it and been insanely anxious, suggests he does have form.

YouAreMyRain · 16/06/2016 07:40

Were they planning to stay in at the friends house? Couldn't your DH have borrowed a charger and recharged his phone in the friends house?

What is their friendship like? I'm very suspicious that the friend messaged you instead of lending their phone to DH to ring you.

PurpleDaisies · 16/06/2016 07:40

Op, you need to contact the police now. Missing with no contact for 4 days? I'd be frantic!

Me too-I'm quite surprised that if this is so totally out of character you haven't already filed a missing persons report with the police. Do you have suspicions at the back of your mind that he might have just gone off somewhere?

MadHattersWineParty · 16/06/2016 07:40

WTF why would you not be onto the police big time?!

It's not like (with the 'facts' you've presented here) they wouldn't take it seriously...
