Do you panic when you can't get ahold of your spouse?

My husband is always off work at 4:30 and always calls me after. He is working on a constrcution job out of town right but still gets off at 4:30. Its 5:15 and I haven't heard from him and he isnt answering his phones. This is really odd and not like him. I am totally panicing and thinking of all the worse case scenarios. Do you panic too?

Should I be worried?!??!
Additional Details
not worried like he is cheating, worried like he got in an accident!

OMG!! I'm the same way! First I get mad & then I get scared & then mad again- it drives my husband crazy! He's probably fine- maybe he's workn late or something- I'm sure he's fine & he'll call soon!


Tia
Don't panic just yet - maybe the job went late.
Just think - if something had happened, someone would have contacted you.
It is hard not to freak out, but I'm sure there is a simple explanation and he's fine.
Let us know!!

that happened to me... just the other day when i finally did get ahold of him he had to work longer.... and yes i panic... afraid that something happened ... i sit down and tell him to call me if something like that comes up again... and i told him how worried i was....

I get worried sometimes when I can't get a hold of my husband. Not worried like he's having an affair or anything but that he got into an accident. :'( I think it's natural to worry in these cases.

Yes, I worry, but I think you shouldn't. Do you know any of his coworkers enough that you could call them? Maybe he lost his phone signal. I know how you feel though. Ever since my mom died unexpectedly, I am the designated worrier. Post back on here when you hear from him, ok?


Mustard Tree Girl
Yes I am exactly like you. He probably just caught up or something. But I like you, think of all the worst case scenarios. I hope he comes home soon. If he's not home within hours, and still doesn't pick up his phone, I would drive to his work and see whats going on. I usually either think he's cheating on me or something worse.

I hate to admit it but I do sometimes. I don't want to but it just happens. My bf and I talk everyday and it's rare for him to not pick up when I call and vice versa. So when he doesn't pick up or call me, it weirds me out bc like I said, we talk everyday. I don't want to be like this but it's hard to not and it isn't that I don't trust him thinking he's running off with some other girl, I get worried that he might be hurt. I know it's kind of odd and I've been working on it. It's just hard.

I don't think you should worry, there can be many reasons why your husband isn't picking up the phone or calling. I say you watch TV so time goes by faster and you don't have to think about it.

well i wouldnt say panicking, but i do get really worried and start thinking up all kinds of crazy situations and things that upset me, and its usually all for nothing. and in construction, LONG hours are normal, anything can happen to make the construction fall behind schedule and then they have to put in extra hours to get back on track because they have deadlines im sure everything is fine, he's just really busy, and he will get ahold of you soon and explain.

i know how you feel though, i do that all the time, but i try to just calm myself down and know he will be home soon.


jacket2230
I'm such a panicker ;) He is probably just fine. Find a show to watch give it 30 min and then start calling again. He may be in the middle of a conversation and can't get away. Do you have one of his buddies he is working with's phone number? They may have gotten off late or something. Hope you find him soon and keep us updated.


jimmy
I certainly would. if he doesn't contact you in the next two hours, call the police


Chad P
i am thinking if something happend hhis coworkers or boss would have contacted you.
i wouldnt worry just yet dear

My hubby is out of town on a construction job too. He usually calls when they finish up = around 5 or a little later. Yesterday he didn't call until well after 6! They had some things come up that had to be taken care of before they could leave. Construction is like that some times. I wouldn't worry too much. I'm sure every thing is OK.


AMUSE ME
i also get worried,because my husband and i have this understanding,it's common courtesy! and when he stops doing the stuff that makes me feel reassured.i will also panic! talk to him,and remind him that it's a responsible thing to do


Answer my questions!
I always got worried and i would always (i just stopped early this year) think that my mom died and got in a car crash or something when she was late or didn't answer. But it would always turn out fine. Don't worry you will get in contact with him soon.

Sometimes things come up. His boss may have stopped him to talk to him about something or he may have simply gotten distracted or maybe left his phone at work. I have done that before. I am sure he will freak when he sees zillions of calls!

Just calm down. You cannot do anything about his not answering. Do something distracting like snuggling your cute little girl and get your mind on something else. I clean the kitchen, yap on the phone or get online.

He will eventually call and all fear will be for not.

Deep breath!


JLB
yes i have and i'll get all paranoid but everything turns out fine and there was some reason for it. maybe he has to work late and is busy.. i'm sure your hubby's fine


Lorelei C
My mom would panic.


mcwife2
No, now if its longer than an hour or so, then worry. It could be that he had to stay late, or being out of town, the guys may want to stop for a drink or bite to eat to bond


Take a deep breath and dont be upset WHEN he calls

If you know where he is working right now(that construction job),and he will not show up,or give you call back,go over there and check up if he still there.Or call some of his co workers.


jello mold
I would assume he is out buying me something! I told my hubby to worry when I do call-I'm probably in trouble then!! My husband occasionally does side jobs or might give another guy a ride home. No need to worry-unless it becomes a habit.


Micah M
No, you are thinking to much into it. If you trust him you don't have to worry about him cheating on you. And in most cases accidents can happen but normally do not. You have anxiety my friend.


¸.•*´`*•.¸ ℓανєη∂єr ¸.•*´`*•.¸
Yes all the time, he is my life, I wold die without him.


MaryHadALittleLamb
i get worried about that kind of thing too but i do not that you should be worried. everything will be fine.

some people dont like to answer there phones when there driving home on a highway its not safe
im sure he is fine
u know how traffic is
have more faith!!


Jenny A
No, things may have had more work to be done today. There are sometimes scenarios that will sometimes occur. He is a grown man, he should know what he's doing.

do you trust your husband? I can see if he gets out of work at 4:30 and you don't hear from him a few hours but not so quick he might be in traffic or with a co-worker talking about you.

No.

Relax, give a little slack on the noose.

Hire some blood hounds if this going another minute past 60 minutes late. How dare he work late i tell ya!

Do not start panicking yet. It hasn't even been an hour. Just look at it this way, if something really bad happened to him at work then someone from the company will call you. But that is highly unlikely. I think you should have a little more faith in yourself that you can be okay without him for a little bit....otherwise you are just stressing yourself and your kids (if u have any) out for no reason...and may even be annoying your husband by getting so worked up over the whole thing. I think your tendency to panic is rooted far deeper than not being able to get a hold of your husband. Good luck and he will probably call you soon.


Lana K
wow. dont be so paranoid. its creepy. relax
