Dp hasn't come home!

He finished work around 2 and was going for a few drinks. Heard from him around 5 to say he was grabbing some food, he'd have a few more drinks and then head home. I messaged at 8, asking if he was having a good time, what time should I expect him etc. He replied he was going to finish his drink and go for the bus home.
Nothing since. I've tried messaging and calling, it's going straight to voice mail and messages are unread.

I'm worrying and feeling a bit stupid for worrying, then feeling stupid for not worrying more and doing something. Although I've no clue what I should/could be doing.

He's probably just drunk and is phones died or hasn't got signal and he'll roll home in the early house stupidly drunk, right?

Only he doesn't often get stupidly drunk and especially not when out with colleagues and he's really good at keeping in touch if his plans etc change.

I don't really know his colleagues, so can't get in touch with them. I've had a little look on social media and he's not by the looks of things, met up with his own friends or anything. I could text some of them to check but feel a bit silly doing so.

Not sure what I'm asking really, I guess just some reassurance that's he's most likely ok and probably just drunk. My mums away this weekend so don't want to bother her and don't want to worry his parents.

RunSweatLaughAndLatte · 23/03/2019 07:06

Poor you, I hope he's safe.

Once, my DP (who also doesn't have form for this), got so drunk he fell asleep in the toilets and didn't wake up until the early hours!

SallyWD · 23/03/2019 07:08

I hope he's back now.

FrozenMargarita17 · 23/03/2019 07:09

Oh op I hope he's back

chocolatesparkles · 23/03/2019 07:12

Hope he's back now op.'

Sunshineandflipflops · 23/03/2019 07:18

I hope he’s home safely.
My ex h used to do this occasionally and then got pissed off with me for being worried and upset as he thought I was trying to stop him being out or nagging him! They don’t understand that you are lying there unable to sleep because you are worried! A simple text/phone call to tell you they are fine is all it takes!

Hyacintharehighersincelasttime · 23/03/2019 07:19

i expect his phone has run out of battery.
have you looked at online banking to see if he has taken money?

Nowthenforever2019 · 23/03/2019 07:23

Hope he'll be very apologetic today!

Redwinestillfine · 23/03/2019 07:23

I hope you managed to get some sleep and he's turned up op

Everythingmagnolia · 23/03/2019 07:26

Hope you are all ok

AWishForWingsThatWork · 23/03/2019 07:27

Hope he's turned up, OP.

caughtinanet · 23/03/2019 07:28

I hope he's safely back now, I know it's cool on these threads for posters to tell you to go to bed, don't worry he'll be fine, I don't know how people to that, of course your mind is going to go into overdrive and keep you awake

anniehm · 23/03/2019 07:29

Hope all is fine, dh has done this to me a couple of times, said he would be on his way then gets talking and goes somewhere open til dawn. Very rare but so worrying. Please let us know his home safe if rather worse for wear!

Badwifey · 23/03/2019 07:31

I hope he's ok OP. My DH used to lose track of time and get carried away when he was out with friends. He couldn't understand why I'd be worried. He'd arrive home at 7 /8 am not a care in the world while I'd spent half the night worrying.

Whereareyouspot · 23/03/2019 07:35

I’d be worried too OP as my DH has never done anything remotely like this
Did he turn up now?

lablablab · 23/03/2019 07:35

Is he homeyet OP?

He might've fallen asleep on a bench somewhere with no battery on his phone.

MrsJDornan · 23/03/2019 07:39

I hope he's back soon

Shoxfordian · 23/03/2019 07:40

Is he home now?

Skittlesandbeer · 23/03/2019 07:42

I’m sure he’s not in harm’s way. Just boring, run of the mill man-childing.

I’d be very tempted to call his parents so they give him an earful too, in the coming days. In fact a small family intervention with added hangover would be awaiting my DH the day after if he pulled this shit. It’d be memorable for him.

It really isn’t hard to let your partner know you’re safe these days, even if your own phone dies. Having a night out is NOT the same as taking a night off from adulting.
