I am in a similar situation at the moment. My partner ended things in a panic 6 weeks ago and I have also been relying on ChatGPT not finding support anywhere else. I decided to give him space and go silent. I am not ignoring him because he hadn’t tried to reach out. He left a load of things at mine and didn’t rush to collect them, they are still here. He is probably avoiding returning your things because he doesn’t want to finalise ending things. My partner has Harm OCD. Could yours have this too? Sometimes they don’t want to tell you the thoughts when they are violent, especially if the thoughts are about you. If it is Harm OCD he could think he is protecting you and the hospital thing could have triggered him. Or it could be Relationship OCD but you might have noticed more previous issues with that.
