Great question. I knew a guy that suddenly found Jesus. He wasn’t religious as far as we knew, never mentioned it, etc., then one day he suddenly became very religious. We had no idea what prompted it.
But I remember him saying he doesn’t even know who his wife is any more, and thinking, “Uh, you’re the one that changed.” But the way he said it made it sound like he thought she had changed, not him.
He was the manager of the retail store I worked in, and he’d sometimes start badgering customers about Jesus and God. Not good. I was off to college at the end of the summer, and he was gone when I stopped in a few months later.
I wonder if he got a brain tumor or something, just to shift so dramatically so quickly. He was also doing bizarre things, like ordering tons of products we didn’t need, and not ordering stuff we did need.
I remember one Sunday he scheduled himself, one cashier, one guy that had just started a few days before, and myself to work - then spent the entire time hanging out in the office. I was swamped all day. New guy did what he could, but he hadn’t had much time to learn. I could at least get him to load stuff, things like that, to reduce some of my workload. That workday went by really quickly. The customers were actually really nice about it - I assume they knew it wasn’t my fault, and saw that I was working hard.

When people get married they either stop growing, grow together, or grow apart. It’s a crapshoot which is going to happen so it’s dumb to stand up in front of your friends and family and swear an oath that you’ll always be together when you can’t possibly know that

There’s a House episode along those lines.
That sounds like a case of psychosis.
Hey thanks for the story time, real non-ai human, I value your authentic expression
Problem?
Nope
