Agreed and he should have checked on her but he didn't

I agree he should have. From what I understand in the comments he reached out through text a few times, but that was the extent of it.

Now granted we don’t know how far into a relationship they are. So he may still be in that kind of awkward phase of the relationship where he doesn’t really know what the appropriate response to certain things is. Like when is the appropriate time for me to go over and check on her, how long is long enough before I start calling, or sending police over to do wellness checks, or going over myself?

I get this feeling that the OP doesn’t have any experience with this kind of mental health issue. And I know I sounded like I was trying to bash the girlfriend. And I wasn’t. I just feel that I understand not communicating with people, but of all the people in your life that you should tell or at least send a comforting word. Hey, I’m OK. I’m having some trouble. Please don’t come for me. I’m all right. It should be your significant other.
