Really worried
77 Answers
My partner is in Leeds today for a team building event she been asked to go along to. She said she'd get the 9:12PM train back to Newcastle and she promised to ring me when she was on the train.
It is now 10PM almost and I am getting very worried. There is another train at 10:12pm and another at 10:42PM.
I am starting to panic...

Ok, she's not called yet. So what's going on:
At most such events you are asked to turn off the mobile so that you/colleagues are not disturbed.
She's in a new job - she'll take such instructions seriously.
You mentioned they might be going for a post event drink/meal - she probably has (and was in a rush to gather her bag/coat/shoes/papers and not miss the taxi so she didn't turn the phone on).
She knows there are two further trains (if not more - the East Coast Main Line has quite a lot of trains running betwen Leeds and Newcastle to Scotland) so is not concerned about being stranded.
If she promised to call then I might be getting a little worried; if she said she'd try and call, I wouldn't be worried yet.
She promised to ring when she was on the train - she's just not on the train yet.
Seriously, try not to panic - concern is OK. Try and text her - she may just feel uncomfortable talking to you in front of new colleagues.
Hope she's back soon.

Hello muchlove. I agree with BigMac here. It must be worrying for you if your partner PROMISED to ring, but hasn't - although TRYING to ring might be a different matter, because as others've said, there are lots of reasons why she might not've been able to. I'm sure she knows you well enough by now to understand that her lateness'd give you concern, so assuming that she feels the same way about you as you obviously do her, then I'm sure she has a valid reason for not calling, and that she'll be back asap. Try calling any colleagues/friends who might know her whereabouts - but only after a decent time's lapsed, otherwise she could feel stifled by your attention. Meanwhile, have a cuppa and calm down - x.

Team Building Rules : You turn your phone off (you can't be part of a team if your mind is elsewhere)
Team Building Problem : If you drop your mobile you can't ring it to find it because it's switched off
There are no accidents reported in that area, no trains listed as failed or late, so probably just forgot to turn the mobile back on (or dropped it) and is on a train without a carriage phone
No-one can say "don't panic" (why do I hear scenes from Dad's Army in my head now ?) if it's in your nature you will, but you need to relax a little and don't gush it all out when they come back, just smile and listen to how THEIR day has been, not about how worried you've been because they're not back when you THOUGHT they would be.
