Has anyone had the same happen? Maybe I am being a bit on the slow side or something, or just jumping to conclusions, but I have not heard from my guy for about a week now, before that text and ring at least everyday for 2 years, I had a message 3 days ago saying my love and something about him being unwell and not angry with him? but i am unable to contact him his phone is constantly out of signal (which generally is not unusual) or turned off? He has never been out of contact for so long before. My instincs as he is egyptian is to jump to the wrong conclusion here, but I do not beleive this to be the case. I must be crazey here but any advice or opinions?????????Completely baffled and a little worried. Posts: 547 | From: uk | Registered: Jun 2008

No he is not working at the moment, he has been home for the last 6weeks. I am pretty sure he is not married or anything like that.

Ramadan is on for about a week now and many Muslims turn very pious for this time so at least by October everything should be back to normal! Posts: 30135 | From: The owner of this website killed ES....... | Registered: Feb 2004

Thanks Tiger - my instincts really he is not up to naughties. However I really am concerned because even the last 2 Ramadan he has always contacted me irrelevant. I am genuinely really worried about him, this may sound bizarre but he did ring me Saturday night but the line was so bad, he spoke for about 5mins with difficulty, he was telling me something about someone pulling a knife out on him and that his friend had been stabbed! Next thing I get a text message saying my love and that he is not well something about being at the hospital and for me not to be angry. Just trying to sound everything in my head out here to make sense of it all...

Afraid not, I have spoken with his brother but we have always rang on his phone. I never have thought about this being a problem before. You see my dilema!!!I am going crazey here. Not sure if I am reading too much into this or not, trying to keep my sensible head on. Obviously I cant help but wonder also if eyptian men are honest about finishing relationships, is this just a story??????

Here is what you can do. You can stop all of this overthinking and go on with your day until he decides or is able to contact you. My husbo was in Egypt for a visit without me, and I was in the same state as you are, and I was always on the phone and texting, and even webcam, and you know all I did was make myself a nutter. After 3 days, I stopped and guess what.. he did call me, and we did chat, and he did come home. You aren't close enough to be able to solve a problem, and you don't even know if there is one. So.. take advantage of the time and go to a movie or something and silence the bumblebees in your mind. Seriously, he will call you, and wouldn't you rather have that happen anyway? I bet that if he doesn't get a missed call from you for a few days (or hours) he will find a way to be in touch.

I would say Egyptian men are as honest or dishonest as any other men in the world it just depends what kind of character yours has What I gather from your words ..is that your bf has been in a fight and is now in hospital or has been wounded and was being attended to If you have no other contact which is a bit weird since you seem to know each other 2 years I guess you just have to pay for your uhm ...oversight.. and sit tight until he can contact you again

I agree with the others Sherrie, 2 years is a long time to be with someone and not be in contact with their family?
As Cosmo said, there is nothing you can do, and no way of you or anyone here knowing what has happened, so you need to put your sensible head on and chill.
Call me strange but if i had a long distance romance/relationship I would want to know addresses, work addresses telephone numbers, family contacts, only then can you really get to know and trust someone 100%, when you are part of their life, and they are part of yours.

I must say sherri i agree also with what the others have said. I also would be like you and alittle worried knowing my hubby (bf) had been in a fight where weapons where used and he was in hospital. What is he sorry about? It does all sound alittle strange and as caterpillar says you should have been given his families number (contact details) by now, i would of expected it. As cosmo said there is nothing you can do about it now but wait, i know that must be hard but you have no other choice. I would when he contacts you, discuss this matter with him though, in case in the future something like this happens again.
Good luck, hope all goes well Posts: 895 | Registered: Sep 2007

I hope he is ok. I would be a little worried too. Try not to let your mind go onto overdrive until you hear from him again

Think it's time to place questionmarks by your relationship in common, as others already mentioned. For now, there is nothing you can do.

Thanks for comments here. He phoned this morning. I got so worked up got my wires all crossed. His friend was in a fight and got stabbed last week, not my guy! He says he has been to the doctors on monday as unwell, sounds terrible, said he was sorry as had not spoken with me, told me to check my phone, when I moaned no messages. I have recently in last 2 weeks changed service provided, don't know if my phone or what, but although phone did not ring, when I went into missed calls, he has called every evening! I am in the process of changing back to my old one although a bit more expensive at least it has a signal most places! Anyway, explained about how I felt and he is so sorry, I have said I need contacts for if it ever happens again, only thing is his mother doesn't speak english. His brother speaks a little english to say basic hellos, but he is giving me his number via message today.. Agree need to readress some issues here, will be having talk when we meet in 3 weeks time. But thanks for support ES. Feeling much happier now and much less stressed....

Get his family's details, and have at least 3 different contact numbers. I'm sure if something were to happen to him, his mother would find an english-speaking friend or relative to ring you, and vice versa - you would find someone who speaks arabic who could ring them, if something were to happen to you (and they couldn't get a hold of him).

So glad you two are back in contact. Phones can be a right pain, I didn't hear from Sam once for a few days, so when I saw him on MSN I had a right go. At the same time, he had a right go at me, because he hadn't been getting my messages either- turns out, there was a connection problem, and the texts weren’t getting through on either side. Hmmm, should get some more contacts for him (but like your problem, his family do not speak english- and I haven't met them yet, will do in two weeks though, eek). He has my mobile number, home number and my mum's mob. Looking forward to meeting you two soon
