Acidosis:
First, this has nothing to do with Church or fake prophets. If prophecy is the reason he acts this way, he wouldn't be scared of going to Church.. Instead, he would spend more time attending Churches than staying idle at the guest room.


Secondly, your husband is seeing things you ordinarily can't see. Science called it hallucinations (seeing demons, beasts and hearing strange voices like birds, dogs backing or someone telling you to run faraway from people around you, etc.).

You need to handle this matter seriously. If you fail to act NOW, you won't like the end result cos it can be very devastating.

Now this is what you should do, see a psychiatrist! He probably wouldn't accept the fact that something is wrong with him. So you have to act whether he wants help or not.

It can either be acute depression, psychosis or schizophrenia. This isn't mid-life crisis, stress or spiritual problems. Most times, these three show similar symptoms, and hallucination is always the second sign. You said he sleeps late and wake early? Truth is your husband does not sleep at all. That's a sign of depression, and it starts with lack of sleep. His brain is working at an increasingly high velocity, you shouldn't allow him continue like this. Act now before some spirit beings (hallucinations) instruct him to hurt you.

The symptoms are very clear;
1. Hallucinations
2. Lack of sleep/quality sleep
3. Takes people around as enemies
4. Low self esteem
5. Speaking incoherent words and casting out demons you can't see.
6. Poor hygiene

So what are you waiting for??
Act before the mass illiterates start calling him 'm a d'.

My thought exactly. That's why I suggested to him that a doctor be involved. He doesn't even want to move with me. But I'll try to bring the doctor home if that's possible.

Samusu:
Did yhu refuse him a second wife?

No. He never mentioned anything about a second wife. Even if he does so, I would never allow it

MrBottle:
Thias is a classical case of a schizo-affective disorder. Deluaion, hallucinations, mood changes and impairments in his behaviour. He needs a psychotherapist and psychiatrist fast or he will end up killing " the devil in his house".
How is his personal hygiene like? Deteriorating? ?

He takes his bath barely twice a week. Always locking himself in a room. He will bathe if I'm not in the house. If I'm in the house, he locks himself in the room

Pierohandsome:
The op is not been sincere here. For every action there is equal and opposite reaction,judging by ur writeup i could sense an intimidating and a dangerous looking woman so the man decided to start playing safe.

Even babies recognizes luv whn they see it not to talk of adult. If truly u are showing him luv, he wil be comfortable and happy around u.

Sincerely, i haven't done anything to him. At least nothing I am aware of.

My husband and I, have been married for the past 4 years and everything has been "alright" until 6 months ago. My husband suddenly developed this fear for me just like that. If i lay my head on his chest, i could hear his heart racing in fear. He wakes up first & sleeps last. Always avoiding me.

It has been 6 months, he keeps himself in the guest room. He only comes out if i am not roaming the house. But if i am moving, he would stay in the guest room. I considered taking him for a mental checkup as i fear he is unstable and my own life is in danger. Many times he has held a knife against me trying to "defend himself from me". His business has been dwindling because he does not go to the office often. Always hiding at a corner in the guest room. Scared and alone. I had to double my work to get more money to maintain our home as he has not been working.

As much as he was quite the difficult type before, i still loved him that way not what he is now. Now he seeks my permission before he can have a guest. He stays indoors always. Sometimes he walks up to me begging me to tell him his offence. It scares me as i am feeling guilty like i have done something when i have done nothing. He was dominant, rough and confident but not anymore.. He is scared now and timid. If i serve his food, i would eat from it to prove there is no poison before he eats.

I never had a problem with him going to church as a Christian that he is, but recently, he no longer goes to church regularly, he would stay at a corner praying to God to protect him from the "devil in his house"! I offered to take him to church Yesterday and stay there with him even though i am not christian or religious in anyway but to give him peace. He refused and stayed in the guest room. Saying satan should get behind him like i am satan or something. I called his family today and i await their arrival this week.

My friend advised i give him some space so i am considering travelling to give him space. Is it a good idea? Or should I stay? I am so confused
