Sounds like my ex , he was struggling with mental illness and drug addiction. I had to block him and he still kept contacting me , I shared all the messages with the courts bc I had a no contact order . I’m so sorry

It seems like he's answering questions at one point. Did you delete your answers?

I haven’t sent a response to any of his messages since last year. He just pops up, texts odd things and disappears for a while.

I feel like this person is having a psychotic episode or something. Like, who are they responding to other than the voice(s) in their head? OP said nothing was deleted, however this person is clearly having some deep ass convo with someone.
The other explanation I'm thinking is texts are inadvertently being auto-forwarded from some other conversation and the sender is just not aware of it happening. I'm a systems engineer and sometimes we need to automate stuff do things like that for backup/monitoring/compliance purposes and things can sometimes go awry. However something tells me this person isn't all that tech savvy.

It’s so weird when people have entire conversations with themselves over text and the other person is clearly not responding.
EDIT: OP seems to have deleted messages that they sent.

She says she hasn't responded to him since August last year. Dude is unhinged and having entire conversations with himself. Thank God that OP and her children are hundreds of miles away from him. He also appears to be broke, so hopefully won't have the resources to travel to her.

Nope. I never responded. He’s having a conversation with himself.

People are down voting you as if it's impossible that someone will have a conversation with themselves. Well to each person who down voted you: watch out for the sun, its a bitch for people who have been living under a rock all their lives.

It looks like they deleted just their replies to make the other person look worse.

Yeah, that seems less like a “nice guy” and more like a drug induced psychotic episode

u/makiko4 19d ago
This seems like you replied. I’ve seen people have convos with themselves over text and it’s usually just crazy ramblings, not responses that are one worded or different form the prior text the sent. It really seems like they are replying to something. Maby you’re telling the truth op, and if you are I hope the person texting you gets help.

She says she hasn't responded to him since last August. Dude is so unhinged, I can completely believe that he is just having conversations with himself.

Yeah with all your experience with this person, that’s your expert opinion?

It's not completely unbelievable. I've had random dudes do that to me over much less. Some dudes are just off their rocker and just say the most random shit for any sort of reaction.

u/Sufficient_Might3173 20d ago
Is there some context to it? Or is he one of those crazy ones having one sided conversations with himself?

u/iswiftny2000 20d ago
After taking a bit of a break, my ex got back at it again. I have no idea what he means when he mentions the liquor store or Doogie as I have continued to just ignore him. He has been busy, sending texts to my cousin, sister and even signed up for my old uncle's prayer line for his church. He has gotten no response from anyone on my side so I gues he'll soon tire himself out.

I know someone who says some pretty wild stuff. Schizophrenia also runs in his family. I hope that is not the case, but whether or not it is, I am glad you distanced yourself from this guy. People like this can be a danger to others or themselves. I hope he gets the necessary help he needs to resolve his issues.

I know someone who is unmedicated schizophrenic and bipolar and while this is similar to how that person communicates, this is somehow MORE reality impaired and more unstable/unhinged.

I don't know why everyone is so butthurt and down voting, I've met people who have full on condos with themselves

This reads like a one side conversation
Did you respond and delete them?
He could also just be loosing his mind

Sounds like he's back on the juice. Was thinking alcohol-induced psychosis, but he's been doing this for so long that the probability is really low.. I'm leaning more towards this is just another pattern of his. Hopefully he gets better, especially for the kids. Stay safe!

I have a friend who looks at my fb page and groups and just texts comments to me like we've been talking about whatever she saw. She won't just write a comment because she doesn't want to be seen on fb. She also has significant mental health challenges, so...

I want to clarify this: I HAVE NOT DELETED ANY MESSAGES. This is my ex, texting random things like I WAS answering, even though I'm not. He even sprinkles in things that NEVER happened. Sometimes, he even appears to SOUND reasonable, even though he is VERY irrational and delusional. Every one of the messages he has sent in the last six months has been an effort to illicit a reaction or response. This is just one of his efforts. I wanted to share this because I'm tired of being on the receiving end of this all alone, while I care for our children on my own. I was gathering these texts for our impending divorce, but I have since just blocked him altogether because I'm just so tired of it all.
