New partner hearing voices

I've been seeing someone for 6 months (I'm widowed and taking tentative steps dating). He knows I want to take things slow and its more companionship that we have at the moment. We get on very well and he's kind.

We went out last week and he opened up to me that he hears voices of "spirits" and sees people. He has always told me has an interest in the supernatural and I hadn't thought much more about it. The spirits are with him all the time and give him instructions (harmless like eating foods they enjoy, etc).

I've got three kids and I'm worried this would be strange for them. He's a really kind person but I'm considering ending it with him. He also doesn't work at the moment (been signed off).

So we'd been for a lovely walk one afternoon and he told me that he's surrounded all the time by spirits and he pointed to an area behind us where he said they were all talking.He also said the sky was full of spirits and he was never alone.

It's very strange to me because I'm not spiritual and I really can't understand it. The voices tell him what to eat, what to watch on television, etc.

Jesus H. You’ve ended this, right? You do not need that in your life.

@Kelly51 OP said "we'd been for a lovely walk one afternoon" not that they'd been for a walk this afternoon

I've ended it with him - I've had a couple of busy days so sorry I didn't check the thread.

He took it quite well but he's got the spirits keeping him company.

I like your style, OP. Glad you've ended things with him. Enjoy your life, no longer cluttered up with invisible beings and their interfering instructions!

Phew glad to hear that.

Get out and leave this one behind. Whatever he is off work with , it’s not your responsibility.

So it ended three/four months ago and you already have a new partner (previously an old friend), with whom you have gone away for a break. Wow, you move fast, Jenny. I presume this 'new old friend' does not hear voices or know spirits. What do your kids think of him?
