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?

For reference op, coercive control (emotional abuse) is a crime now regardless of whether any violence is involved.

Thanks everyone for your reassurances and well wishes

That's gracious of you considering the vile responses you got on here!

Just glad he's OK.

I admit I really did think the worst as I've been ghosted a few times and so have many friends.... in this situation where a boyfriend goes quiet isn't always a case of a lost phone.... we are all giving an opinion.... opinions based on our own experiences and witnessed through conversations with friends.
I am really happy OP that on this occasion it turned out to be a lost phone. Keep hold of him if he's a good guy xx

NotTheFordType · 03/01/2019 00:27

Glad it's all okay OP.

I will also be writing down important numbers in my notebook first thing tomorrow morning.

Crunchymum · 03/01/2019 09:44

Glad all was well in the end.

Am sure some posters on here will be quite disappointed that he wasn't leading a double life etc... Shock

The Relationships board isn't usually the place for happy endings.

You sound more gleeful at the idea that some imaginary posters will have been disappointed all ended well for OP than anyone has actually been. Weird

RedLife · 03/01/2019 21:22

He's gone OP. I'm so sorry

Hahahahahahahahahaha! 🤣🤣🤣 Ever so sure werentcha? 😁

deadliftgirl · 03/01/2019 21:49

So what happened @ihavetogoshoppingnow

Did you ever hear from him?

Sallygoroundthemoon · 03/01/2019 21:55

@deadliftgirl RTFT. Yes, she did.

OkPedro · 04/01/2019 01:01

Calm down redlife yoy sound ridiculous

MyOtherProfile · 04/01/2019 05:43

To be fair redlife has a point. It's so easy on here for people to make false declarations without knowing all the facts, and forgetting tjat there are real people behind these posts. Thankfully Renard was totally wrong.

VietnameseCrispyFish · 04/01/2019 06:59

But people post on here because they want the opinions of others. And part of the draw of a forum is that you’ll get multiple, often opposing perspectives. It’s partly why someone will post here rather then just ask one friend what they think. People who start threads know that and know they don’t have to take anything on board they don’t feel fits.

VietnameseCrispyFish · 04/01/2019 07:00

And RedLife would have a point, it’s just that it’s lost beneath her really quite nasty gloating. It’s like she’s taking pleasure in someone else’s take on the situation having been wrong. It’s very playground.

You're damn right I'm gloating! They were so bloody sure and cocky. So I gave it back. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Made me laugh. A lot.

Renarde1975 · 04/01/2019 18:30

I'm sure it did Redlife. I'm sure it did...

Renarde1975 · 04/01/2019 18:50

And thanks @Vietnamese for your support.

If I'm wrong OP, I'm wrong. And of. I hope I havnt caused you any distress. Not my intention and I'm truly glad on your update.

I hope it works out for you both. Flowers

Renarde1975 · 04/01/2019 18:52

'And of' should read 'End of'. Apologies for typos.

lostinjapan · 04/01/2019 19:09

‘If I’m wrong’? You were wrong. He wasn’t disengaging. He’s not gone. He’s not a bastard. He didn’t block her. He hasn’t started a new relationship. He’s not a ‘narc’. You can’t get much more wrong than that Grin

I’ve just RTFT and some (most) of the responses are fucking ridiculous.
