There’s a reason the honeymoon phase is one of the most enjoyable parts of dating. It’s the stage where you’re both on your best behavior, everything feels exciting, and the future looks bright. But once it’s over, not everyone stays as charming as they started.
And for this Redditor, the change was hard to brush off. The boyfriend she thought was sweet and caring started acting like a complete stranger. One day he was making bizarre comments and getting jealous over her mentioning a random celebrity. The next, he was laying down strange “rules,” like setting deadlines for when he expected her to reply to his messages.
It was a total rollercoaster, and that was just the tip of the iceberg. Confused and overwhelmed, she turned to the internet to ask what was going on and how to deal with it.
