Would you stay with a partner who’s ‘perfect’ 99% of the time but ‘almost evil’ for three days each year? That’s the dilemma one 27-year-old woman has found herself in – and she’s unsure what to do next
A troubled woman claims her boyfriend turns into ‘a monster’ two to three times each year.
The tricky situation unravelled just yesterday when the 27-year-old went on a very long rant about her partner, 28. Although they’ve been together for 11 years and he treats her like a ‘literal princess’ most of the time, occasionally something beastly takes over him.
“Two to three times per year, like clockwork, he turns almost evil,” she said, taking to Reddit anonymously. “It’ll happen like the flick of a switch where he goes from ‘you’re the love of my life’ to ‘don’t fucking come near me’.”
The nameless woman shared a few examples to demonstrate her case. The first occurred two weeks ago when she thought of a day activity they could do together.
At first he seemed excited, but when the day came everything changed. “We get in the car to leave and it’s an immediate change,” she said. “Next thing I know he’s going off on me telling me that I’m wasting his weekend forcing him to do something he doesn’t want to do.
“So I said okay no problem, let’s just go home and watch a movie. But nope, he drove all the way there to throw a fit and drive back… He said nothing the rest of the drive home and then immediately left to go hang out with some guy he knows I don’t like. Now we haven’t spoken really since yesterday and I told him I was hurt and his response was ‘ok’.”
Another similar event also took place on her birthday last year, which he ‘didn’t acknowledge’ and hid from his family. She added: “[The] Christmas party [was] the same day as my [birthday] and he hid the fact that it was my [birthday]. It was so odd… every other year he’s gone to great lengths to make me happy whether that’s a date day, a surprise party, or whatever else.”
Now, the woman is turning to the internet for advice on how to approach this. She stressed: “I’m so confused because like I said 99% of the time he’s a literal angel and I couldn’t ever dream of him acting this way and then boom out of nowhere he turns to the dark side and has zero empathy and is horrible.
“But then snaps back to his normal self after a day or two…It just doesn’t make sense. I have a bipolar sister and there are some similarities but it’s not the same…Does anyone else act like him?”
Unsurprisingly, the anonymous confession was quick to rack up hundreds of comments, with various users claiming there is a clear link between the events she’s mentioned. One person wrote: “Yeah these aren’t random incidents at all.
“When she’s excited, he finds an excuse to s*** all over her fun. He drags his feet, complains, blames her, and otherwise makes the event unpleasant for her. Then he goes back to being Mr Wonderful.”
Another added: “Sounds like he has issues speaking about his needs. When he feels forced to do something he tries to bottle it up and do what’s expected of him and then he explodes!”
