ilikepeas Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 This is strange.. Last night my ex texted me casually that he had seen an acquaintance of mine in his town (we live about 2 hours apart). I wasn't sure if I should reply but I did, also casually, just stating that it was funny, because I wasn't really sure what else to say. We texted back and forth a few times discussing plans for the holiday weekend, etc. Then a few minutes later he called me, surprisingly, and I answered. After only a few minutes of talking, and in the middle of his sentence, his phone suddenly went out. I waited to see if he was going to call me back (like maybe he lost his signal) but he didn't so I called him. His phone went straight to voicemail. That was at about 10 oclock last night. Now its about 5:30pm the next day..almost a full day later. I have called him a few times throughout the morning/afternoon and his phone is still going straight to voicemail. I don't understand what happened but unfortunately I have a very wild imagination when I worry. (I'm worried mainly because when we dated and something like this would happen ie, his phone battery died..he would find some way to tell me what happened. Either text me briefly from someone else's phone or send me a quick facebook message. None of that has happened, though I must factor in the fact that we aren't dating like we were then. He's also not the type to be without his cell phone, ever. He's definitely one of those typical "i need my cell phone with me at all times" people.) Though we are not "together" I obviously still care deeply for him and am imagining the worst scenarios..he was in a car accident, etc etc. Its pretty much making me sick to my stomach. SOO my main question is, that I am not sure of the proper etiquette in this situation..do I call his friends and ask if they know he is okay? Even call his parents? Then I'll feel awkward..do I just suck it up and worry for days? I just don't know
AlisaMarie Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 Wow, that is strange and I would be worried as well. Since he is indeed your ex, I would just wait. Don't obsessively call to see if it goes straight to vm. Call in a couple days, if it ring... and he answers just let him know you were wondering what happened after you got cut off. Maybe he didn't pay his bill or something stupid like that. I wouldn't panic.
Author ilikepeas Posted July 3, 2011 Author Posted July 3, 2011 Alisa, Thank you. Though I am still worried, your post helped to calm me and realize the correct plan of action..to relax and give it time.
AlisaMarie Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Alisa, Thank you. Though I am still worried, your post helped to calm me and realize the correct plan of action..to relax and give it time. Is he in any financial trouble, or maybe on a track phone where it could have been shut off? Idk if it would still go to vm. This sounds horrible but at least you know he's not blowing you off! Let me know if you ever reach him and how it goes!
Author ilikepeas Posted July 3, 2011 Author Posted July 3, 2011 Well I reached him...I called his phone again tonight and it rang but he didn't answer..so I texted him asking him to call me and let me know that he was okay because I had been worrying. Several hours later I still hadn't heard anything so I called again..he picked up the phone but after about 5 seconds hung up again. Obviously he was at a party, I heard girls shouting and people talking, the general sounds of a party. I called again and he turned his phone off. Just makes me feel so dumb for worrying and caring so much about someone who is so quick to blow me off when I was trying to be a decent person. I shouldn't have even answered his first text from last night :'( Now I'm back at square one knowing that he is partying and obviously so disgusted by the thought of me :'(
