Let's say for example, one day, its seems like you cannot reach your boyfriend/girlfriend. You are texting and calling him/her, but his/her phone is unattended. He/she is also offline in instant messenger. What are you going to think in this situation? Of course you will be worried. Are you going to think that he/she is cheating on you and having an affair with another girl/guy? Are you going to think that he/she is avoiding you? Are you going to think that he/she is angry? Are you going to think that he/she is not ok or maybe sick? Are you going to think that there's something bad happened to him/her? Or you're just going to be calm and just wait? Well, this situation would really make you worried. It's really hard since you have no idea what is going on with him/her. Of course you should pray and hope that he/she is ok. You will do anything to contact her. What will be your emotion, angry, worried, or calm? I will be glad to hear from you. Happy myLotting!

I will feel all of those mark except for wait---oh I could not just wait for her to contact me specially if I really love the girl. And I can imagine I would be much worried on that time. I would do all the chances to reach her. I am a jealous person so I could not really help myself from not thinking that she is doing something wrong with the silence. And I would be much upset of the situation if it would last more than a week.

Hi primeaque86! Yes, we cannot afford just to wait, instead we will do all the possible things to contact her. Different speculations will come to our mind. But I think we should first think of the positive reasons before the negative ones. The longer she is missing, the more negative things come to our mind. Well, this situation is really hard, we are just worrying coz we love the girl. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

Oh, you are right mark, and to help us ease our feeling we have to think first of all positive reasons so that we can think well. Getting anxious can just hinder us from doing what should the right one to do. Happy mylotting!!!!

Hi ebuscat! Sometimes, it's just that his/her cellphone is low bat or no signal that's why he/she is out of reach. We should not get mad easily, we should think positive first. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

well, if after a week, he's still hard to reach, i would really panic. i will go to his place to know what's wrong or if he's not there, i will contact his friends/brothers/sisters to know what's going on.

Hi autumndreamer! Oh, a week is a long time already. If you can't really contact and find him, it's better to contact those ones related to him. That's a good idea. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

It is a very difficult situation. It is very hard for me to take if my lover does that to me. I will wait for some time and then stop calling. Now, my husband lives in a different country and we talk over phone every morning and evening. If he won't call on the proper time, I will get tensed. The same with him also. if I don't attend calls, he will be tensed and think what happened. It is not because of doubt, but for the care of other person.

Hi miss IJ! Is there anyone else? Lol! Well, I believe your guy will not do it to you. He cannot afford to lose your communication and he just don't want you to worry and get mad. So if ever he will not show up for long, it only means, there's really something happened to him. Just pray and hope that he's ok. Well, this situation is really hard especially if you really love the person. We are getting tensed and worried just because we care for that person and we love him/her. Thank you very much for your response. Always take care! Happy myLotting!

For sure the more time i spend on trying to call her and text her the faster my heart bit. It happen to me before and to my surprise what i did was, search her to her address. (one house at a time) plus that was the first time i tried to locate her address. It took me 6 hours to locate the address but unluckily she was not their. Doubts were there on why and how can she do such thing to me? but faith and love was also there so i sat and pray. After a few hours, she replied and said sorry. I accept her apology and now we are together strong as ever.God bless

Hi scja16! We really cannot afford to lose the one we love that's why we will do anything to find her in case we cannot contact her. We really feel restless and uncomfortable during that time. Let's just hope that the one we love will never make us worry again. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

Before my husband and I were married, I'd be really worried about him when I would text or call him without an answer. That would really bother me because we lived an hour apart from each other. I always found out later that was either busy, didn't have his phone with him, or didn't hear his phone go off. So I learned never to worry about him - that everything was probably ok! Now that we're married and he doesn't respond to my call or text, I normally don't worry because he's a delivery driver now so I figure he's either making a delivery or at the store where he doesn't have his phone. I know he'll respond to me as soon as he's with his phone. Every once in a while when I don't hear from him for a while, I think the worst - that he's gotten into a car accident or something. That scares me! I don't like to think that way, of course, so I try to stay calm. I agree with you that a person can become concerned if they don't hear from their significant other after an attempted phone call or text is sent. Great discussion!

anxiety and anger is something that is natural, when we can not contact someone. before angry, we better find out first, and it's best not to think negatively first. there must be some reasons could not contact us.

It all depends on the situation at the time. If he has called to say he will be here momentarily and its now an hour I will worry that he was in an accident. If I can't reach him and its been all day I will worry that he is cheating first, then I will worry that something bad has happened to him. Now of course if I had a fight with him the day then I will believe he is still mad and does not want to talk to me yet. Under any of these situations though I would be worried not angry or calm. I'm a worry wart by nature.

Hi lelin! Yes, it also depends on the situation. If he supposed to be there on a particular time, but the time had passed and he is still not there and you can't contact him, you will really think that there's something bad happend to him or there's an accident happend. But when you found out that he was ok, just didn't able to come, then that time, you may think that he is cheating on you. And it may cause a quarrel. Lol! That's why, for lovers, they should really let their partners know what is happening to them from time to time to avoid their partners to be worried. Well, situations like this, where you cannot contact your loveone, is really a difficult situation, and it's just normal for us to get worried, since we love them. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

I believe that I might very well be an oddball in this kind of a situation because it doesn't really bother me at first. The reason for this is that my husband is a very hard working man and I know that when he is hard at work, he can't always get to his phone and may in fact not even hear it. So, I will wait about an hour after I've tried to call him before I will start to get concerned about the fact that I can't get a hold of him. The reason that it starts to bother me at this point is because he also works in a dangerous situation.

well i cant reached my ex for many months now so its already enough for me to know that i should stop looking for him as its only a waste of time. if someday he will show off and can explain the reason why then it will depends. i will not going to look for someone who dont ever care to think if i will be hurt once he left me as its only a selfish thing to do by someone. so if he doesnt care for me then why should i. time will come and world is so small so i know we can meet again but maybe that time, its already too late.

Hi homeshopper! I'm sad to know your story. I can feel the pain in you. He left you floating in the air. You really shouldn't expect now that he will still comes back. He just don't deserves your love. You really need to move on. And you must prove to him that leaving you was the biggest mistake that he have done in his life. So just continue on propelling yourself to success. Make yourself successful in your career and lovelife will follow. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

i tried contacting his friends or family if i can't reach him. and they always know where he is so i don't have problems with that. i tend to wait for him to give me a callback and ask him what happened. sometimes we don't expect things to happen and its urgent. i try to understand him and the situation and know in my mind that it will really occur sometimes that i can't contact him. being calm is the key so that you won't end up having a nonsense argument.

Hi markmoney, I could definitely relate to your post. I would feel..all of the above. hehehe.. Naturally, as a girlfriend, I would be worried if I can't reach or contact my boyfriend. I have experienced this a lot of times, and I admit, sometimes, the first thing that would come to my mind he may be cheating. But I trust him, and resolve not to even think about it. If we got into an argument, and if he remained silent, I would assume he's still angry and avoiding me. If hours passed and still can't reach him, I would be worried if something bad has happened. But most of time, my "what ifs" and fears turned out to be really silly when the real reason he can't be reached is he got his mobile battery empty or been really busy with work, that's the usual reasons, so maybe it's time to lessen my worries and fears.

Hi princess! Yup, we don't really need to worry much especially if we know that we can really trust our boyfriend/girlfriend. Sometimes we can't contact him/her simply because his/her cellphone's battery is empty or there's just no signal on his/her location. We can still wait for the meantime but if his/her silence remains for a long time, then it's really time to worry. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

Why? What happen to your loved one? Hahahaha. Well because I have no special someone as of the moment I can just share about my family. The one that I usually communicate is my father and my sister. My father is always at home. When I feel bad or feel nervous I send him a message to check on the house, if there is any problem they have there, when he will not respond of course I will be very worried and I will call him after. For my sister, we usually text when she needs something or I need something from her, if she will not respond, I will call her just to check on her. I want to know what happened. As of cheating, of course I can’t relate to that since they are part of my family. However, before when I was a newly graduate in college, I have a special friend. I have a crush on him, nah. He was a friend of my bestfriend and we got the chance to text each other. But we do it when he was not busy at school. He sometimes be the first one to text me. One time I did not receive any messages from him, weeks already past and I was really worried so I called him. He told me that he was very busy at school and he was run out of budget for load. He was happy that I called to clear things up. During the worrying times, there was so many things crawling on my mind, like is he get tired of me that is why there is no message of him, did he found out my feelings about him, that kind of things. Mixed emotion is what I feel, thankfully I decided to call him. No matter what he says, if it’s the truth or not, I still care for him at that moment. Well, time flies and I already move on from this. I remember the boy, but I don’t remember the feeling

I would be worried of my partner's safety or I might get worried if I did something wrong. I would not think that my partner is cheating because there are a lot of things that might have happened and cheating would be the lease of your worries. If he contacted me the next day and he would explain what had happened to my partner and if all of my questions are answered I would forgive him. But if it would like be a week or months without communication I would be moving on and look for another one to love. There are quite some people who suddenly leave without saying goodbye because they cannot handle a honest conversation which I had read one of the posts here.

Worrying is imminent, but I would just be calm and wait. Unless I have other ways to contact him or her, there's not much use to fret about.

ah all that is about insecurities, no girl like an insecure man. I sure don't like a jealous insecure woman either. If I don't hear from here I only worry if she is ok or something is happening not if she has an affair.

If you have left text messages and voice mail....you have done all you can do for the moment. Naturally you are worried and maybe confussed. But consider that maybe she needs a little space and perhaps you have not given it to her. Don't jump to bad conclussions. She may be sick. If you have not heard from her or seen her after 3 days, I think it would be OK to call her house to see if she is OK. Her parents will take the message and you will know it reached her. Then you just have to wait. It isn't fair, I know, but if she is avoiding you for a reason and doesn't have the courage to confront you, then you need to consider what your relationshhip really is. Don't drive her friends crazy with questions either. Stay cool and see what happens. Keep on doing what you do like normal. It may be your dignity that you are saving, at worst.
