    Or perhaps you need to contact him?

    That's my whole point I've been trying with no luck :0(

    I'm trying not to worry but if I don't hear from him by 2pm I might ring his brother.

    I can see why that would worry you, if you're trying to contact him and you've not had any success. Is the phone ringing when you phone him? Have you tried texting him?

    The phones off I presume that's due to the area he's in.

    Did you make arrangements for him to contact you while he was away? Is he alone or with friends/colleagues you may be able to call? Do you have his hotel name, so at least you can reassure yourself by ringing them and seeing if he's checked in or out?

    Realistically, though, it's only France, not some 3rd world war-zone so the likelihood is that you (or a family member if you're not his next-of-kin) would've been contacted by relevant agencies if he'd come to any harm.
  • Whatever you do, don't go to bed thinking you have to sleep. It has the opposite effect, meaning you spend ages clock watching and getting more frustrated that you haven't fallen asleep. Try forcing yourself to stay awake; read a book or magazine. I'm not guaranteeing anything but it may mean you drop off.

    This is the 2nd night in a row this has happened, I fell like something's going on and I'm not being told.

    Loverboy went to Paris on Friday so perhaps it's that.

    What is keeping you awake? Is there something specific you are thinking or worrying about? Or do you just feel anxious but cant put your finger on why?

    Things always seem so much worse when you wake up and mull them over in the middle of the night. Hope you feel back to your normal self soon.
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

    He went with his friend and because we usually Skype I didn't ask for hotel name ect.
    He doesn't like me mothering him so he gives me limited information when he's with the boy's :0(

  • Hope you have heard from him, and all is ok.

    From personal experience I can only say that if you think something is going on, or something feels wrong, then it probably is.

    I think most people can pick up when someone's not being totally honest or open, yes.

    Are you worried about his wellbeing and safety, OP, or do you suspect he's up to something dodgy?

    maybe he didn't intend contacting you over the weekend then, so I would try not to worry too much. Get yourself out, have a good long walk, get some fresh air. That might help you sleep a bit better until your bf is home.
