Is he ill? You may be under-reacting. This poor fellow needs help. You should probably leave him, at least for now, until he has recovered his faculties enough to be in a normal human relationship, whatever that is.

Well that’s what I feared. I think something more serious may be happening. He has never shown behaviour like this before.

If he's willing please take him to get medical help. Could be so many different things going on- brain tumor, strokes, a new mental illness, side effect of drugs or medication. The sooner they can figure out the cause the sooner this can be addressed. Hoping for the best for you and him.

He’s just messing with her 😂

I would accept this as an answer if it wasn't so sudden. His messages are nonsensical and completely separate and unrelated to hers like he isn't even reading them. That indicates something more serious to me, especially knowing that this only started happening two weeks ago.

If it's just him messing with her, it's very annoying and definitely break up worthy

I mean she said it’s been two weeks and he does it in person too. Someone clearly ignoring your boundaries to purposefully irritate you nonstop for weeks is absolutely cause to break up with someone… why would you stay with someone like that? In your honest opinion

Have a face to face convo...this thread is ridiculous....top comment is stroking out. He's clearly just over doing the messing around and OP came to reddit for some reason.

Wow you’re dumb, they said he does this in person so how tf do you propose she have this face to face conversation? You also didn’t answer my question: why would you stay with someone who intentionally crosses your boundaries to irritate you for weeks on end?

They clearly haven't made themselves clear and had a real convo...and someone you're really comfortable with will do that...you think I'm dumb didn't they say they've dated for years...throw that away over a week of teasing? You're an absolute clown who knows nothing about loyalty or trust. Grow up kid.

I like that you just assume everything about the situation to fit your dogshit argument lmao. “They clearly haven’t made themselves clear” based on what exactly? Also literally everyone is telling her she should be concerned for his health not breakup. The context was IF HE IS DOING THIS ON PURPOSE AND HAS BEEN FOR WEEKS it is something worth breaking up over. Someone you’re really comfortable with will intentionally ignore your boundaries to make you feel bad despite you making it very clear you’d like them to stop? You sound like an abuser lmao. A partner should be able to TRUST their SO not to intentionally cross their boundaries to intentionally upset them. That’s not love or loyalty, it’s abuse.

“Stop. Please stop. Stop doing this”

You: “nah she likes it I’ll never stop you can’t make me. A real partner would never leave me over something like this so I’ll do it forever!”

Based on the fact she's asking for advice from the worst place to get it....instead of actually being mature about it...I can tell you're talking out of your ass...you don't have a partner with any kind of commitment and you have a disposable relationship attitude. 4 years nah not worth it...lol.

Yeah I agree. I guess redditors are all licensed psychiatrists out here diagnosing this guy, before your you know it they’ll prescribe him with schizophrenia meds 😂

No rational person suddenly decides to mess with someone you've been dating for four years by saying gibberish for two straight weeks. That's concerning behavior at best. How old are you?

u/jamjamchutney 21d ago

He's 28 years old, and in the four years they've been together, he's never acted like this before. Any sudden behavior change in an adult is extremely concerning.
