I guess it depends on your spouse. My husband has been known to slip out to run an errand (go get a soda or fill the car with gas down at the corner station which is open 24/7) at night without telling me, and I might get annoyed, but my first thought would not be to call the relatives or the police (and he always forgets his cell phone)
I agree with you, Deb. My wife and I were talking about this exact same thing.
In my opinion, calling the police seems like a fairly big step to make after so little time. That leads me to believe that there may have been signs of this kind of erratic behavior in the past, at least on some level.
Like you point out, I've been known to hop in the car and grab cigarettes (back when I smoked), a 6 pack of beer, a drive thru run at the local fast food joint, etc without thinking too much about it at odd hours of the day/night. Then again, everyone's different---so I agree with your statement that it'd likely depend on the couple and their habits.
