He Called The Police After His Fiancée Never Came Home, But Then They Showed Up At Her New Job To Check On Her, And Now She Is Furious
A few nights ago, this thirty-five-year-old man’s fiancée left their house to give a friend’s son a ride home. She left around 7:45 p.m. and apparently implied that she would be back before 9:00 p.m.
But, what was supposed to be a quick favor for a friend ended in him getting sick to his stomach.
First, 10:15 p.m. rolled around, and his fiancée was not home. So, he shot her a text, and she answered. His fiancée apologized for being late and explained how their friend’s son had actually been in the next town over. This added thirty minutes to her drive each way, and she claimed that she was finally on her way home.
Then, the time hit 11:45 p.m., and he realized that his fiancée had still never gotten home. So, he decided to call her and also sent her a few more texts. She did not answer this time, though, and he was getting increasingly upset.
Next came 12:30 a.m., and his upset had become total anger. He was really confused as to why his fiancée was not answering his relentless texts or calls and left wondering where she had been.
Finally, though, by 1:30 a.m., his anger apparently totally transformed into worry. He realized that his fiancée had never read one of his texts, and he started to think that something might have happened to her.
So, he decided to contact the police at about 1:45 a.m. that night. He thought that was the best course of action since, in the past, he had heard that the first twenty-four hours of someone being missing were the most important.
After speaking with the authorities, he also asked the officers to inform him of any car accidents involving his fiancée’s car. The police told him that they would keep him informed and also send some officers to check along the route his fiancée had been driving.
“I called all of the hospitals in the area to check if she had been checked in, and I waited outside watching the road for her car for three hours– partially because I did not want the kids to hear me on the phone with hospitals, and secondly because I was sick with worry,” he revealed.

However, at 7:00 a.m. the next morning, his fiancée apparently came waltzing through the front door– completely unharmed.
Then, his fiancée apologized, said she had no excuse for being out all night, and told him what happened.
His fiancée claimed that while she was driving home, she became tired and did not want to fall asleep behind the wheel. So, she pulled over and decided to take a nap.
“But, when she did that, she found that her brand new phone had stopped working. She said she napped anyway because it was the responsible thing to do, and then came home at 7:00 a.m. to bring the kids to school and get to work on time,” he explained.
She was at least safe, and he was relieved to have his fiancée home. So, he called the police and told them that they could call off any search efforts– which they did. However, the true problem did not arise until later that afternoon.
After his fiancée brought the kids to school and left for work, he started cleaning the house to help de-stress. Then, while alone at home, he got a call from a police officer.
The officer was asking for the address of his fiancée’s job, and when he asked why, the officer revealed that it is customary to do a wellness check after a missing person is found.
He immediately asked the officer to just give his fiancée a call instead of showing up at her office. But, the officer said he could not guarantee anything.
And later that day, a police officer apparently showed up at his fiancée’s job– where she had just started working– and asked to speak with her. So now, his fiancée is livid.
“She is now enraged at me for calling the police and ‘sending a cop to her work’ and making her look bad,” he vented.
In fact, his fiancée has accused him of completely overreacting and punishing her for “doing the responsible thing and not driving while drowsy.”
On top of that, his fiancée is now claiming that she is never going to leave the house except for work again because she is afraid he will call the cops again.
So, he has basically been left feeling like a total jerk and is wondering if calling the cops was truly an overreaction or the right thing to do, considering the circumstances.
How many hours do you think he should have waited before contacting authorities? Do you think he had good reason to be worried? How would you have reacted in his shoes?
