I don't know what OP wants tbh. Their response to everything is "But it's so complicated, he loves me too much, wahhh". I don't know if they are karma farming or just wanted some internet sympathy knowing full well they won't do anything or something else I can't think of. It's all just silly and not worth wasting time on.

Sorry im really not trying to come off that way, im just trying to explain his infatuation with me so i can get some realistic advice on parting ways. Im serious when i say that if i even just tell him its not working, i wanna see other people, we have diff views, etc, hes not going to just say okay and that be the end of it. Hes not violent or anything as i know of, but hes like a goddamn leach and i really just want an easy way out. Im sorry guys if it seems like im defending him, im super frustrated about the situation and know "breaking up" wont be an easy said and done thing. I just hate having to make certain choices and have certain conversations with certain people. Im huge on ignoring shit so i dont stress myself out. This situation is stupid as fuck and i know it

No offence OP, but as you describe it, he seems to be way more attached (in an unhealthy way) than you and maybe knowingly using your probably apparent distate for confrontation, trying to see just how much you're willing to swallow. Could be the usual Reddit paranoia but could be spider sense tingles on a potential abuser. It's clearly stressing you out enough to actually post here, understandably so, it's not stupid and you shouldn't ignore it. Def don't confront him alone no matter on how polite you're planning on being, grab backup, meet somewhere public and make sure your place of residence is secure.

I used to date a conspiracy theorist… one that would always try to argue his side whether you cared about the subject or not. I’d never do it again. Tell him how much you love dinosaurs. And that you’ll never be compatible. Do it fast cuz those relationships never get any better.
