Haven’t heard from my boyfriend since Saturday

We’ve been dating for 6 months we’re not the type that text each other all day long but we always message each other good morning and usually have some kind of text conversation in a day.

I left his house Saturday lunchtime and he was getting ready to meet his friends in town for food then they were going out out later on we talked a little but while he was out then around 9pm I text him saying have a good night and let me know when your home he said he would and text me saying good night. Woke up Sunday morning and he hadn’t text so I text him the usual good morning and asked about his night I didn’t hear anything all day but assumed he was just sleeping/hungover I text him again Sunday night asking if he was alright and the message didn’t deliver I tried to ring him and it went straight to voicemail and has done ever since. I assumed at first he’d just lost his phone in his flat and let it die (this happens a lot he’s not the type who’s always got his phone in his hand) but he was supposed to be going out again last night for New Years and the phone is still dead so I’m starting to get really worried because he wouldn’t have gone out without it.

Not really sure why I’m posting or what help people could be but I just needed to talk to someone, maybe have some reassurance?

I’d be in all sorts of trouble if I lost my phone. This thread has made me think about that- I must write down numbers.

Op, I hope he is ok and understand your concern. If he was simply ghosting you, his phone would be charged and not go straight to voicemail without ringing first.

rainbowstardrops · 02/01/2019 11:31

I really hope you hear from him today

ForTheLoveOfDoughnuts · 02/01/2019 11:33

Any news?

jocktamsonsbairn · 02/01/2019 11:34

Hope you get some news today.

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 02/01/2019 11:38

Best of luck today Thanks

Halfahunnerstillastunner · 02/01/2019 11:39

Ah OP another one here who has read the entire thread (mostly going ShockHmmConfused at some of the ridiculous pronouncements by other posters wtf?) and thinking lost phone is most likely. Hope you've got email contact now. Best wishes

Hope you get answers today OP.

be charged? My phone doesn't ring if I block numbers. They go straight to voicemail.

rosavalentina · 02/01/2019 11:57

If you're blocked usually it rings once and goes to voicemail. I don't think the you've been blocked.

I hope you hear something soon.

CandleWithHair · 02/01/2019 12:01

Good luck Op

Urbanbeetler · 02/01/2019 12:07

But would she see the WhatsApp profile picture if she was blocked?

shpoot · 02/01/2019 12:11

No. She wouldn't. She's not blocked.

Imustbemad00 · 02/01/2019 12:16

You have definitely not been blocked.

shpoot · 02/01/2019 12:36

It must be lunchtime now! Has he emailed OP?

ihavetogoshoppingnow · 02/01/2019 12:38

Hi sorry for the delayed update I’ve been really busy in work all morning. I came in first thing this morning to an email from him he’d gone in work early and emailed me as soon as he could saying he had lost his phone whilst he was out on Saturday and he didn’t have my number saved anywhere else to get in touch. He’s ringing round places he went on Saturday and the taxi company to see if anywhere has had it handed in because he hadn’t had access to any phone till he got to work today and if not then he will sort getting a new one. We have now swapped personal emails so if anything happens to either of our phones again at least we have another point of contact. Thanks everyone for your reassurances and well wishes Flowers

Yay! That's great news! Smile

Glad you've got to the bottom of it.

BitOutOfPractice · 02/01/2019 12:41

Oh I'm really pleased. Hope he finds his phone

brizzledrizzle · 02/01/2019 12:42

That's great news, not what I expected TBH so I'm glad to be wrong.

forumdonkey · 02/01/2019 12:42

I think he's probably lost or broken his phone. The fact it appears to be off and going straight to voicemail even withheld would suggest that this is likely. It's easily done and it's not the best time of year to get a replacement phone, plus I found I'd lost some of my numbers when I got my new one.
Hope you get some answers today OP
