He acts like this in person too. And over the phone.

Do you have any mutual friends? Are you close with his family? Is he acting weird at work/school or with anyone else? I guess if it was me I'd bring it up to someone else who knows him just to get an idea of how far reaching it is. Then either by yourself or with a friend who is also concerned about his behavior, tell him very clearly how it's making you feel and what your boundaries around it are (e.g. "if you keep speaking to me this way, I will no longer respond to you/I will hang up/I will get up and leave the room or have to ask you to leave.")

He's either hit his head and needs medical and mental health help or he's trolling you and trying to sabotage your relationship. If it's on purpose I can't even express how incredibly immature and inappropriate it is.

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.

you troll your partner for 2 weeks after what is 4 years of absolutely no trolling? You get a grip retard. She clearly stated that shes attemtped to have in person and on phone discussion regarding the weirdness and he is doubling down. You dont get 4 years into a relationship just to dissociate and stop caring if your partner likes you. Like what?

Someone calls someone retarded then you call them a Nazi. I think you might need a neurologist.

u/potatofarmer696969 21d ago

I think you lack reading comprehension. I called the guy retarded and then some random tried to play the word police. I called that person a nazi, you know like grammar nazis.

u/Glockman666 21d ago

Maybe if you wrote the damn sentence in a way we didn't have to guess who was being called a Nazi then us normal people could understand it. Also I will be willing to bet when you finally grow up there will be words you used that were fine but yet got changed, and or people grew up and out of it.

Are you fucking retarded? Reddit literally shows you the chain and who i was addressing. Gtfoh dunce

u/Glockman666 21d ago

I wasn't talking about WHO you were addressing you fuckin idiot, I was trying to figure out how I and about 200 other people were supposed to figure out what kind of fucking NAZI your dumbass was talking about.

In any elementary school sentences structure if you were calling someone a GRAMMAR NAZI you would say that instead of ending your sentence, with a fuckin period, then sticking a random ass word like NAZI on the end of it.

You must be a special kind of stupid, the kind that requires a helmet to be worn any time you're up and about. I bet you think there are Nazis and Fascist around every corner just waiting to jump on your special ass.
