I'm kind of at a loss of what to do... My fiance and I have been together since we were 14 and 15 and he is about to turn 27 so I think if anyone knows him pretty well it would be me. Within the last couple of months he has slowly been doing things that I don't really know how to explain. He has got the idea in his head that I'm out to get him. Lately he's become very verbally abusive. Everything is my fault. He's always worried that I'm messing with his stuff. He's had a best friend for 8 years and now with the last two months he says that he hates him and isn't quite sure why they were ever friends. About 4 weeks ago he bought an Xbox 360 and all of the equipment that goes with it (we are struggling to get by after Christmas as it is) then he took it all back and said he's never going to play it. Anytime I questioned him about any of it he just started screaming at me. Yesterday I went to do yard work and his best friend was over. I took a break to come in and say hi. When I went out to do some more his best friend asked if I needed them to help me and I said not to bother (he refuses to do anything accept sit in front of the TV or computer). When I went outside he started screaming at his best friend and told him not to fall for any of my games. I genuinely didn't want any help. I think that yard work is pretty soothing. This morning he couldn't find his belt. He started kicking the doors and calling me stupid and said that I'm always loosing his things and he's going be late to work. I've never seen anyone so outraged about loosing anything. You would have thought I lost a winning lottery ticket. He eventually found it and left. We've been together forever and I've never seen him act this way. It's like someone very mean and angry and hateful just took over. He always looks upset and when I ask him what's wrong - he tells me that nothings wrong and I'm just always nagging him. We have always shared our problems with each other and have always gotten along before. I finally confided in my best friend and broke down. She says that she's noticed the change but she didn't want so say anything because she didn't feel like it was her place. Does anyone have any information or recognize any of these problems? I'm not one of those people that refuses to blame their man for their actions but this is just so out of character. I don't think someone goes from being a loving functioning person to a horrible hateful angry mess over a couple of months. I don't even know how to talk to him about the fact that he might be ill. Every time I try to talk to him about his feelings he just starts screaming at me and telling me how everything is my fault. Please let me know if this sounds like any symptoms you've heard of... I don't even know where to begin.
