They're embarrassed

We know, you talk about it all the time.

DP. You should move along. I recognize your unhappiness causes you to lash out but you need to learn to edit yourself.

I’m convinced that all the juiciest posts on this forum are just writers trolling us for material.

Pp here. I mean really - your husband goes missing and before you call the cops you post for advice on DCUM? No.

She said she called police stations in her OP. It’s not a missing person until 24 hours for an adult. So she is probably dealing with police now.

DCUM Makes sense. It’s a responsive community, posting on real social media kind of airs your dirty laundry which she may not be ready to do yet, yet she feels very alone and unsure what to do. I might do it. Then someone will say “check the whole house even the attic” — maybe he hit is head and is unconscious in the attic because he wanted to get something out of storage? He Uber home and is passed out on bushes because he lost his keys.

The 24 hour thing is a myth.

Yeah the police will ignore you for way longer than 24 hours

Super embarrassing more than anything else, but my husband was (surprisingly) not bothered by it at all.

Were you responsible for taking your children to school in the morning?

Seriously, who wants a grown man??

You're as naive as the PP to whom you're responding. Neither of you seems to have any street smarts. No one might want to kidnap a grown man, but there are people who would want his car, his wallet, his PIN number for the bank card, his phone, and he would only be an easily threatened, then easily removed, obstacle between them and those things.

You are easily excited, aren’t you?

Not excited. Just glad I'm not as oblivious as you and that other PP seem to be. Have fun getting mugged. You'll make an easy target.
