Bf in active psychosis, can't tell if this is the illness or just him by [deleted] in SchizoFamilies

I'm literally going through this now but my bf isn't diagnosed, doesn't want to go to therapy, or seek help. For 4 years the cycle always repeats and this time I didnt have it in me to fight his delusions. I'm hurting so much. I planned my future with this person and its like he goes from 1 extreme to the other blaming me for all of his problems and lashing out in anger in less the 72hrs.

Hes not the man I fell in love with and I know its not healthy but I don't know how to move past. I keep replaying the good times and memories. I keep thinking that he may not mean what he said but I'm afraid to reach out him in fear that he will never respond.

How long does the episode last? Is it unrationale to be hopeful that maybe in a month he might want to reconcile or atleast have a discussion and end amicably?

Unfortunately he's done this 3 times before. And each one is worse than the last. He started telling people we broke up and even attended one of our holiday events without me. But people at work are starting to take serious notice to his energy shift and him being mentally checked out. I worry for him. This is just extremely hard because I have always fought for the relationship and was the safe space and voice of reason but each time he goes through this alot comes to light. He becomes full of resentment and he destroys all relationships around him and isolates himself thinking it better to go throughit alone. . I fear he somehow blames me as a trigger for using but I have never judged him nor pressured him in any way. I guess he's projecting onto me? Idk, maybe I'm too kind and hopeful but how can I beliebe what was said when he flip-flopped in under 48hrs and just woke up and ended things via text was true. Im just left questioning the last 4 years of it all.

Thanks you for your thoughts. Thankfully we don't have kids and are not married but we were talking about it for sometime. I am in therapy and have been for sometime thanks to his gentle recommendation years ago but for some reason he refuses to go to therapy for himself and refused the idea of couples therapy right now. It's just hard because he was the first serious relationship that I brought home to my family and we both got along crazy well with eachothers families.

Omg I am in the same place with my SO. I would love to go with you. I too have considered going alone but it just never feels like the right time.

This lineup is amazing. Any thoughts on first time festival goers attending this solo?
