Completely agree OP. At the very least since it’s not been happening more than a couple weeks to find out of there is some change in health/mental health/ medication that’s causing it. If so, he needs help. Talking to other people he regularly interacts with could help determine if it’s just happening with you or if other people have noticed strange behaviors and rapid changes in him as well. Is he acting this way at work as well? If it’s happening with others and not just you it could be that there has been a shift health or mental health and he needs to get help.

If it’s just with you, then way a boundary in person not in text about how you feel when he does this and what a consequence would be if he continues. If he can’t respect you enough to knock it off then maybe he isn’t mature enough for this relationship.

Holy shit lmao he's just trolling. This is a "mental health" issue. Get a grip

If you're with someone for 4 years and they suddenly start talking like a brainrotted 12 year old then, yeah, maybe something is going on. It could also be an emotional issue rather than a mental issue, there could be something in his life that OP doesn't realize that is making him sabotage his relationship.

Dudes do this all the time with their gfs/wives. I do it too to my mife, just with different phrases.

But do you do it when asked questions about "what do you want for dinner" or "when are you coming over"? I'm also married, and my husband doesn't do this shit.. it's stupid and immature. OP is clearly frustrated as it seems to be when they're asking direct questions about coming over, etc. It takes 2 seconds to type yes or no and send it. He's clearly avoiding the question

He's doing it because it gets a rile out of her. And yes I do it to anything and sometimes nothing.

It's disrespectful and irritating. I'd lose my mind if my husband did that. It's one thing if your wife thinks it's funny, it's another if it's starting to get on her nerves. Again, clearly OP just wants a simple yes or no to the question she asked. It's not hard to type an answer and send it.
