AIO? My boyfriend hasn't come home since Friday, it's now Sunday.

My (24F) boyfriend (27M) left for a festival around 12:00 on Friday, he told me he loved me and that he'd see me that night since he had to work on Saturday and then he'd go back to the festival on Sunday morning. I told him to have fun, be safe and that I'd see him that night.

I went to work like normal and didn't hear anything from him all day (which didn't bother me since he's at a festival, probably had bad service and didn't want to spoil his fun by being on his phone). I got home after work around 00:00 and still hadn't heard anything. I was hungry and decided to have some food delivered so I figured I'd call him and ask if he wanted something for when he got home. It went straight to voicemail twice. I decided to check his location to see if maybe he was still stuck in the parking lot and therefore would have horrible service as well, which was the case. Didn't think much more off it, ordered my food, ate, and went to bed. Decided to check his location once more and saw the bus was just pulling out of the parking area and on the road.

When I woke up, he wasn't next to me. I immediately checked my phone but didn't have any missed messages or calls. This started to slightly worry me, so I looked at his location again and it showed him in a hotel somewhere. I figured he must have missed the last train home and that I'd see him soon. I went on about my day, deep cleaning the house, doing some laundry, etc, and didn't think about it anymore. Then around 16:00 I received a call from his boss asking if I knew where he was since he didn't show up for his shift at 15:00 and they couldn't reach him. I hadn't even noticed the time.

I called, facetimed, texted and messaged him but got no response. Then around 17:00 I got one lousy message that he had hurt his ankle and lost his wallet. I asked what happened, if he was okay, why he didn't come home, why he didn't let me know, he was going to a hotel, why he was ignoring his boss and I, when he was coming home and who he was with (none of our friends went to the festival, he went alone). It's now Sunday and he still hasn't responded nor come home. He turned his location settings off yesterday around the same time he sent that text to me.

I have this really bad feeling like something is off. This is very out of character for him. We've been together for 6 years and he's never done anything remotely like this. I'm worried, I'm angry, and I feel like he's hiding something. I know he didn't plan on going to a hotel, he didn't bring a change of clothes or packed a bag. He just went for a day, planning to come back that night. AIO for having this bad feeling like something is very wrong?

Why are Millennials such against their High School Reunion?

Had my 10 year reunion a few months ago. Despite having a 500+ graduating class and close to 200 people signing up on Facebook, only 4 people showed up. This includes myself, my brother, the organizer, and a friend of the organizer. I understand if you live too far but this was organized 6 months in advanced. Also the post from earlier this week really got me thinking. Do people think they are too good to go to their reunion? Did people have a bad high school experience and are just resentful? To be honest I didn’t expect much from my reunion. Even if it was just to say hi to people and take a group picture, but I was still disappointed.

EDIT: Typo

TIFU by saying the word "kickbacks" to my doctor

She asked why I had not accepted the specialist's recommendation for a new drug. I explained that he (the specialist) was pressuring me so hard to take a med designed to help two conditions when I only had one of the two. There was a rare, but possible horrific side effect. I wasn't willing to risk it. Also, when I agreed to a different drug (again, under pressure,) the specialist clapped his hands and yelled "Whoop!" I said to my doc, "It was like 'Cha-ching! Kickbacks!'"

Oops. Never say that word to a physician.

She was offended and said so. She basically indicated that I am free to find another doctor. I sincerely apologized. I had tears in my eyes. Now I feel too ashamed to ever go back because she wrote it in my chart. I am the AH.

I truly f'd up.

EDIT: THanks to all who have replied so far. I want to share a bit more, if I may: The primary reason for my visit was to fill out IFMLA forms for my employer. After I said 'kickbackss' (about the specialist,) the PCP said she "is not paid to fill out my paperwork," I said "That's strange, because I get charged for the visit." She turned my documents appt into an annual physical, asking follow up questions on years-ago ailments, etc....did she do that so she COULD bill for the appointment?

EDIT #2: Thanks to those who have pointed out to me that accepting kickbacks is a serious crime. I honestly didn't know! I thought it was "only" immoral. Thanks to you for showing me how very wrong I was! The doctor didn't tell me this. However, she accepted my apology and asked me to come back in 6 months.

TL;DR I said the word 'kickbaks' to my primary care doctor. She was offended.

AITAH for leaving my partner and refusing to be involved in any way, shape or form, after they stopped taking the pill and pierced our condoms to have a child?

My partner has been on the pill throughout our relationship and we’ve been in a bit of a battle these past few weeks over having children.

I categorically said that I don’t want them and started using condoms for double protection.

This morning, she told me that she’s pregnant and I asked how this could happen when we’d been so careful. She admitted to coming off the pill and piercing through the condoms that we have stored.

I’ve said that I don’t want this and that I’m not up for marrying into a relationship based on lies. She says she’s keeping it and has already told her friends as, according to her, she’d done the test eight weeks ago and was keeping it quiet in the hopes that I’d change my mind.

I have no idea what to do here. Help.

I am in England and am 29.
