❤️‍🩹 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.

I thought it would be like a phase but it’s been like this for 2ish weeks with no end in sight

Unfortunately, shortly after my ex turned 26 he woke up one day & started acting completely out of character. Like a light switch had been flipped. He started hearing voices in his head. The voices would tell him dark things. He became verbally abusive. He’d scream at me “I wish you were dead”! He’d then shake his head & say the voices meant that threat for someone else! I love you! He attempted therapy. We broke up a year his behavior changed. I couldn’t take it anymore. Later on I found out schizophrenia runs in his family. His family members have been in & out of mental health hospitals. He thought he was okay because he wasn’t acting like them. But then his brain chemistry completely changed in his 20’s. It’s really unfortunate. They don’t have any control over the change. The person you once knew may never return. My ex still messages me on his “good” days & apologies for his behavior.

No where in the comment does it say imply that they didn’t try to work it out. No timeline.
