Thinking Someone Else is Present

Well no word from him at all on his Birthday, even with me telling him HAPPY BDAY.

 

I don't know if I should talk to him or just leave him alone and let him hit me up when he is ready.

Have any of you ever dealt with your partner, talking to them on the phone or doing a video call and then they hear stuff in the background like the TV, music, or other family, neighbors or outside noises, and think that, that's someone else with you?

 

Like the guy I am seeing, a few times, he's heard noises like I mentioned and he thought I had another guy with me in my room or was talking to someone else.

 

When all I had was my TV on and windows open and PC on mute. And yet he thought another guy was there talking to me as I was talking to him.

 

So not sure what to do here, I did tell my guy no one else was there but yet he keeps thinking this again and again.

 

I don't know...I think I might be for finding someone who doesn't hear things. Going on the notion that sanity on the parts of both people in a relationship increases the odds for success.

 

Then, there's the possibility that what he's hearing is real. Maybe...

 

he...

 

hears...

 

DEAD PEOPLE!!!

 

And what he's hearing as you sit talking to him on the phone are the ghosts of people who were murdered where you're living now. In which case, I'd probably be for relocating to a residence with a less violent history.

 

Hope that helps.

You don't seem to address the posts that everyone takes the time to type out for you, and just keep posting silly updates. This guy is a hot mess.

 

Why are you two 28 year old adults both living at home and having some kind of dysfunctional 'relationship' via Skype and Facebook? I thought for sure you were 16 year old teenagers and almost fell over when I saw your ages.

 

It's clear you want to say in Dysfunction Junction no matter what advice is given to you, so I realize this post is pointless. Are you staying with this train wreck because you just have no other options? Smh.

This sounds like more than garden variety suspicious feelings by your bf - it sounds as if he may have actual auditory hallucinations. This is a serious mental condition and to see if he needs treatment, he needs to see a doctor ASAP. He can start with his GP for triage. Maybe you can go with and provide info. Some people who hallucinate may not realize it or may not be willing to tell a doctor, so outside info is needed.

 

I'd in fact demand he see a doctor and follow treatment recommendations. If not, break up with him.

OP, you are seeking opinions and the collective and overwhelming advice is telling you to move on. What you are doing now is looking for the one or two people who might tell you to stay with him and then you will have the validation you are seeking.

 

This is akin to going to 10 doctors until you find one who gives you the diagnosis you want . . . not the correct one.

I believe him and I can work things out. There are couples who have dealt with far worse and make it work.
