How am I supposed to help?

NC for this post..

I'm worried about my boyfriend being completely delusional.

The last 3 days I've seen him in the evenings he's been causing issues.

1st night - claimed I I followed someone on Instagram because when he checked in the morning it said a number then when he checked again it was 1 less. I showed him my phone saying the original number and his was saying one less. Proved I wasn't lying!

2nd night - causing issues because I said it's courtesy to check if he's going to turn up in the middle of the day in case I'm on a meeting and can't answer the door. Accused me of not meaning he can come round any time! He said he fully plans to turn up unannounced.

3rd night - asked if I had someone round as there were two dry patches on the drive. I'd parked in two different places during the day.

Now today because I read his message last night and didn't reply I fell asleep, woke up to a message about how I'm lying about falling asleep, he said Fitbit will prove it. Screenshotted and he said I could have got that from anywhere!

I'm fully aware he has major trust issues. Nothing that I have caused. But I'm getting to the end of my tether as he's saying I've got to do things to remove any doubt. I'm not sure what I can actually do? I feel this is his issue to sort out but he says it's his issue.
He said he'd feel better if he could be with me every evening even if I have to get on with other things while he's here. I've allowed that but he's still carrying on.
I know the easiest and best thing to do is to walk away but seriously how do I get him to understand that I am not responsible for sorting his shit out 😫

@AlicebytheSea

I think it is standard to say we are the crazy ones. Mine has been under MH care for years, yet he calls me a psycho and unstable but I " get away with it because he is scapegoated". OP again, mine constantly asks for me to "help" him, by doing the kinds of things you are demanded to do, and I'm not affectionate enough either apparently.

The similarities are wierd..

I agree the similarities are very strange! I'm trying to work out how to PM you but can't seem to do it through the app version? I'll see if I can get onto desktop version a bit later on.

The latest update is that he said hes not continuing with it if I can't give him what he needs as he needs the doubt fully removed. I said I'm not continuing with someone who doesn't trust me and that I don't see a way of moving forward. Prior to this he was going on about things being equal. I despaired because when I try to be affectionate he is very closed off and barely responds. He's so deluded it's scary.

So today I've not heard from him at all but I'm sure I'll hear at some point. While he's leaving me alone it gives me mental space to try her things in place.

Hope you're doing OK OP and you're either making significant headway into giving yourself permission to cut this lunatic off for good or have done already?
