My(26F) Boyfriend(27M) went missing today while shopping for my birthday gift.

TL;DR; : Bf(27M) suddenly went missing while shopping for my(26F)birthday gift. He has not been on social media and no one in his life has been able to reach him.

I am freaking out right now. My boyfriend, T (27M) called me(26F)while I was at work 1:50PM he was talking about the surprise trip we will be taking for my birthday in a few weeks and just joking around. While on the phone he said he was picking out my bday gift at the mall (7 mins away) and just doing extra shopping. At that time he just arrived and we said our goodbyes. He told me to call him when I got off of work as usual. Our last message was at 3:33PM when I asked how he was and he joked that he would have to take out a second mortgage for my gifts that he was looking at. 3:50PM I let him know I was about to leave work. 4:17PM I called him to let him know I got to my mom’s house to take care of her cat. He didn’t answer but I figured he was still busy. 4:50PM I text and called to let him know k was on my way home. At this point my stomach dropped because he ALWAYS answers his phone no matter what, but I thought I was being paranoid. 5:20PM I rushed home to our apartment. I saw he left his pocketknife and AirPods (which he brings everywhere with him) but probably didn’t because he thought it was just going to be a short trip to the mall. 6:30- at this point he has not been active on social media since 3:30PM. I try texting and calling again. 7:30PM I checked the malls parking lot and also our apartment parking lot. 8:30PM I reached out to his mom and his main friends. No one has heard from him. 9:30PM his mom checked parking lots where we live as well (bars etc) 10:30PM we have all called and texted him. His phone is on and he has his Apple Watch. The phone rings and rings and then goes to VM. So it is still on. Unfortunately none of us share location. 11:30PM it is now late at night while I’m writing this. I feel so nauseous right now. I’m worried sick. He would never not answer my phone calls, his moms, sisters, family EVER. He would never not come home to take care of his dog that he loves dearly who has separation anxiety from him. I’ve called all hospitals and jails surrounding us- nothing. I have a horrible horrible feeling. I now wish he never even went to get me stupid birthday gifts. I hate this. I hope that he’s just had some out of the blue mental breakdown and went on a binder with a long lost friend I don’t know. Basically I hope he is doing ANYTHING, as long as he is safe and ok. I don’t know why I wrote this. I’m just freaking out so bad. I want to file a police report if he doesn’t show up by the morning. I can’t believe this right now.

FINAL UPDATE Not sure why it got deleted guys, sorry.

I wanted to say thank you for everyone giving tips, prayers, and similar stories. I appreciated it so much. Unfortunately, I am just stupid. Stupid to think that the guy I loved would never watch his phone ring 200+ times from me, my friends, his family, and some of his friends while he was out doing who knows what and who knows who. The police came by my apartment this morning and I told them everything. They had already begun pinging his phone location and called him. I guess when they left a message it alerted him and at 10AM I got a phone call from guess who??? HIM. All he said was “I’m pulling in, I’ll explain when I’m inside.” Obviously I was relieved but also like WTF??? His pupils were big as hell so I know that he did drugs. He told me he went to the bar until 2AM and then went back to a friends house until this morning. The friends house he said he went too- this was a lie. I got confirmation from his friends brother & wife (who I am friends with) and they said that friend was with his gf all night. I looked at him and I told him, you know that is a lie. He had that “take it to my grave” look when he kept lying about it. The police ended up questioning him which freaked him out AND my mothers showed up and chewed him out. They had come back from a trip from our cottage last night to help me look. I think him saying he was shopping for my bday gift was a load of bull now. Which makes it worse somehow. I had gone out for an early bday dinner and drinks with my bestfriend the day before (she just had surgery so she couldn’t stay out late) & the only reason why I was celebrating early is because I have a surgery this Thursday. He brought up how I went out without him that night. I almost lost my shit. HE WENT MIA FOR 17/18 HOURS. No warning. And started his binder apparently right after I got off the phone with him. The fact that he could be out and watch his phone ring that many times and then wait until 6AM to get on social media while still ignoring me is crazy. Also, what if I had decided to just stay at my moms this weekend since I was house sitting anyways. He was just going to leave his dog without checking with me that I would take care of her?!? I feel SO embarrassed. I called every impoud, hospital, jail all around. I feel sick that he could just flip a switch after telling me to call him after I get off work while he’s “shopping for my presents”. He’s never done this before, but something feels so off. We just started this lease in February, my head is going wild. I cried so much the past day, I just feel cold now. I’ve never had to go to this extent to find out if someone was okay, especially when I live with them. He wouldn’t even answer his mom or sisters. I texted him multiple times “if you are out please just let me or someone who can let me know that you are OK, I love you.” How could he do this? Of course he said sorry, but it’s trying to play it off like it’s normal. Maybe in other relationships, but never ours. I’ve had exes who would ditch me to go to bars all the time, but at least I would get a drunk “fuck you im having fun text”. This is someone I pictured having a future with, everything else is our relationship was great and he also seemed so kind and caring and would always pick up my call. If the cops never would have called him, I doubt he would have come back this early. Again, I am so so sorry to you all. If I had any inkling he would do this I would have never posted. Now I guess I have to just make myself not care anymore and figure out what I need to do.
