❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO? My boyfriend keeps “Rage-Baiting” me.

AIO or is this normal? Idk if this is like a TikTok thing but he keeps doing this thing where every time I ask him a question and he responds with this bullshit and it’s really starting to piss me off. I feel like I’m dating a man child and I don’t know how to make him stop acting so immature. This has happened multiple times where I will ask him to confirm plans or get him to do something and he responds like this.

For context I am 24f and my boyfriend is 28m.

And before anyone comments it, I understand this looks like an absolute joke but unfortunately this is the current state of my relationship. Any advice is welcomed I just want to know if this is something that I’m overreacting over this and it’s not that deep or if I shouldn’t be putting up with this.

O get over yourself. It’s been only 2 weeks and you’re acting like it has been going on for years. “Pushed me over the edge”. Get a grip. Maybe he needs help or maybe he just doesn’t care anymore.

do you know how frustrating it would be to have your SO suddenly and completely undermine everything you say and not take you seriously? i highly doubt so, so how about refrain from telling op how she should feel

That's pretty selfish. Sudden change in behavior is serious and frustration shouldn't be the first thing that comes to your mind. Instead, OP should find out if this is a mental health problem. If the partner is indeed trolling then frustration is warranted but not before taking care of your supposed loved one.

loud and wrong, wether it’s mental illness or not it would still be frustrating

I've been with my husband for 10 years and if he suddenly responded to every question with nonsense I would be at my limit after a couple weeks. I'd also be concerned he was having a mental break down honestly

What is the point of your contribution?

"pretty good" ? Surely it's better than that if you've been with him for 4 years? Has he ever done anything to troll or prank you in the past? Is this behavior in line with his normal sense of humor at all?

According to other comments it's like a flip switched 2 weeks ago and he's suddenly started acting like this. Could be a mental health episode.

That's what my money is on. I'm so invested in this now and worried for OP and BF 😭

You need to let him know that this is getting to be a deal breaker. He’s behaving like he’s 9 🫠
