Partner does not know I know he didn't stay home last night

[Goldleafsand]

My partner went out with friends for food and drinks last night
He msg me at 11pm saying he would be getting a taxi home soon , just having one last beer which is all fine by me of course.
We both msg goodnight and I love you to each other as I had an early start this morning
All was really good between us
I said I'd hoped he had a lovely evening with friends and he said he was looking forward to seeing me on Wednesday.

This morning my work colleague rang me and said her car wouldn't start and would I mind picking her up on the way to work , I agreed , it's absolutely no problem for me & didnt put me out of my way at all

She lives on the same cul de sac as my partner and you have to drive past his to get to hers.
As I glanced at his house I noticed every curtain was open including the bedroom ones. He also hadn't put his bin out , it's bin day
I know his house if that makes sense and it was clear he had not been home.
This was 7. 30 am , he is on annual leave , he was planning a lay in this morning , he was out with mates drinking I know him well he would no way be up that early
Anyway this surprised me a bit as he hadn't said he was staying out , however i understand things can cahnge on a night out drinking and all that and maybe he stayed at a friend's house ? Stayed for a few more drinks , who knows 🤷‍♀️

He is free to do how he pleases
However I have not heard from his at all today.
No goodmorning txts which is unlike him, even if he had been out drinking the night before he would always msg in the morning.

I am not going to say I know he didn't stay at home , I am going to sit back and watch and see if he is honest about this as there would be no reason to lie to me
I am very laid back and we both have a good group of friends and social lives so I am in no way controlling or jealous type
But there's this awful gut feeling niggling away at me and it's like my instincts are telling me something just isn't right here
I am also worrying that he is actually ok
But I don't want to bombard him with msgs either
So I'm giving it some time to see how this pans out throughout the day.
Why do I have this awful gut feeling? Is it anxiety or intuition?

Bollocks that they couldn't have organised it drunk. My friend aged 7 booked him and his mate on the ferry to France for the next day, raided the house until they found passports, and got the ferry. Verified by the parents who were called by the ferry company when the two kids were trying to board the return ferry (why not on the way there I've no idea) and arrived at the dock the other end most unimpressed. If two 7 year olds can do it why couldn't two drunk men?

Mind yiu these days safeguarding is a bit better so you probably wouldn't be able to board a ferry hugely drunk or as an unaccompanied 7 year old.

That's what I thought.

But you do.

You have a friend aged 7?
How old are you?

Yes. They didn't for years and years but now they do again. Thanks to Brexit. 🙄

Thanks to Brexit, if he really has been to France there will be a stamp in his passport to prove it.
However his story sounds suspicious as hell, and I think your original gut feeling was probably right. If he did go to France, it was either planned before they got pissed and/or there were some (French?) women involved.

He sounds like the kind of guy who says life’s too short - too short to be mature, responsible, sober, thoughtful, faithful. I could go on.

IF they were as drunk as he makes out would they not have been challenged at any time by a) the taxi driver b) the train staff and c) the security at UK and French borders and d) staff at wherever they slept that night.

Of course I have. My point being it’s quite the coincidence.

😂 I think they mean they have a friend, and when that friend was aged 7 🤦‍♂️

Maybe!

A coincidence in what way? He was able to do this because he wasn't working the next day

I can see this story doing a full circle. The op doesn't respond until this evening. We are all worried where is the Op ? Good morning op - no response!! Every one worries..she messages tonight - sorry guys .. lost charge and I took a quick trip to Germany

Lol. I initially also read it that they currently have a seven year old friend 😂😂

lol, he's an ex now!!!

Well I think it sounds like a fabulous night out!

Glad he got in touch & is ok (albeit hungover), shame it wasn't earlier but kind of understandable.

Morning, everyone. We've had a number of reports on this thread and we have some concerns we want to check out, too. We're going to take a look at those and close the thread to new posts now.
