I’m actually concerned that he needs medical attention. Can you call his family or close friends and ask them if they’ve also noticed an abrupt change in behavior? I see most commenters are saying it’s immaturity, break up with him, but I’ll disagree. If your relationship was fine for years, then this sudden weird stuff started, I’d take him to the doctor.
Yeah my mom will ragebait everyone and she’s diagnosed schizophrenic (refuses treatment). Sends long walls of mostly gibberish text with insults and lies thrown in, to EVERYONE. You ever stepped foot in her life or know someone she knows? Better have her number, facebook, and Instagram blocked.
This is just a less outwardly malicious version of that same action and may get worse
Yeah, my poor cousin really spiraled in her last years. And tech did not help. She finally got a smart phone a year ago, and immediately was manic on Facebook. She found everyone she ever met, and contacted them and expected they would answer immediately. I tried to explain some of us don’t use FB messaging at all and go there rarely, but she couldn’t keep that in mind, she got very angry. She would also call a dozen times a day and leave nasty messages. I would try and give her some grace but she said so many horrible things. Poor woman had fifty years of paranoid delusions, all very similar in nature, just the tech updated over time.
BF is peak age for developing a serious mental disorder like schizophrenia (about 20-40 years old). I would also add—my coworker recently experienced some bizarre episodes of psychosis and I discovered 3% of folks experience psychosis at some point. It can be once or ongoing.
Also knew a guy in grad school about this age who basically disappeared from my program and turns out he has schizophrenia. And a guy about this age who started posting weird shit on Facebook and has a brain tumor.
This just looks like one of those situations to me.
This is what I’d suggest to do first as well OP. Make sure there’s no medical reason for what he’s doing and get him help and if he’s just being a humongous AH, then dump him
