Answer 1

This man needs to be monitored further for any further irrational behaviour. This is not about psychopathy, but it's about possible psychological disorders. I will refrain from labelling since this is only a one-off incident and you probably would need more information in order to draw any conclusions (to be ethically fair).

If he displays further of such behaviour, it's safer to keep yourself or your friend away from him, while seeking professional help for him.

Answer 2

Was he in a war zone? If so he is probably suffering from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) most people that suffer from this are war veterans, paramedics, and police officers. He needs help, it does not mean he's a psycho path but his mind is not right right now. Learn about it try to be sympathetic and get him help. You might have to trick him into it though because a lot of guys don't want to go see "shrinks" maybe talk to whoever his officer is if he is still enrolled in the navy because he may not go see someone otherwise. Either way he needs help!!! Good luck for your friend. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Your friend's boyfriend sounds as though he needs some outside help. The military could've certainly had an adverse effect on him as a lot of people suffer from psychological problems including post traumatic stress disorder (ptsd) not that that's what he is actually dealing with. He certainly was out of line to behave that way regardless of whether he has a diagnosable illness or not.

I would Not continue living with someone that seems to have such issues as one's safety is of utmost importance (Not that your friend would talk to him about safety though.) Perhaps your friend can stay at a relative's house til deciding about her living situation. Being called a 'hoe' in the very least is very degrading and is verbal abuse, and it can only get worse from there.

Answer 4

It does seem rather heavy for a practical Joke .
Have you had any other signs that he may be Psychotic . I pity you if this is the case you will have a very difficult time shaking him off , in fact I think you need to go to a counselor to defend yourself on all quarters .
He will see you as a possession , not as a person so although he feels nothing he will resent any one or anything taking you away from him .
I think your in very dangerous waters seek counseling straight away b
I'm sorry ,but I'm not going to give you false reassurance
Is the store going to charge him with criminal damage . What are you going to do if he or they call you as a witness if you take their side he could see it as betrayal and would go for vengeance however long it took

Answer 5

This fellow sounds like he had a psychotic episode - although he could be very stressed. He should really speak to somebody because if he has one of those at his place of work he may be stood down or booted out as psychologically unstable. He is lucky the police did not arrive. It could be you or your friend next if he is feeling so aggressive - if he cant or wont get help the friend who is his girlfriend should seek counselling so she has someone professional to speak to.

Answer 6

I think maybe he is having some serious issues. If you feel he is a danger to himself or someone else then you can seek for a judge to have him evaluated at some facility ...however maybe he would like to break up with you but he is being immature ... who knows.. best advise is to sit down and talk with him in a safe place where you can ask him what is happening without fear of him going off on you.

Answer 7

Well honey this is why the war is sssooooo f***** up. These men go out there and are trained to be on kill-mode. Then they come back, but the switch has not been turned off. Your ex needs psychological help. This isn't your fault; it's the government's for not providing him some therapy.

Answer 8

The boyfriend might be suffering from post traumatic stress syndrome. He needs professional help and she needs to be very careful around him, he sounds like he is a danger to himself as well as others. She also must realize that he is probably suffering from a very traumatic experience and he needs immediate help and this will only get worse if left untreated. He might also just be completely crazy be careful.

Answer 9

hate to say but by means get him help, those flash backs are bad and yes just what it was he has no intent of hurting you or anyone else, give him love and under standing but most of all get help for youself as well as him, those armed services do those things to a lot of the services and one of the things that people do fear most is those flash backs and yes be aware he could hurt you as well as others mine did me several times and this is a illness.

Answer 10

Poor thing. He must be feeling very unsecured. Is he away alot and you very pretty or sexy? He is unconsciously showing his fears and insecurity. In this case, he is extremely jealous. Try to assure him that you love him and will always stand by him. Imagine if that mannequin is a real person?????
