So, I understand that some people can have the same name, but this isn’t the case with my husband. My husband’s name is so unusually spelled that he was the only person, besides his biological father, who had that first and last name combination on a birth certificate. This is a fact that he shared with me when we first started dating. He seemed pretty proud of that, and I always thought it was funny. After I married him, and changed my last name to his, I became the only woman in America that had my first and last name on record. It’s just that odd of a last name, so please trust me on this one when I say that someone is using his name.

The profile on instagram, that I just discovered, displays a profile picture of an older man, standing, or sitting, beside a woman of about the same age. I wanted to report it to instagram, but there wasn’t an option to report the possibility of a spouse’s stolen identity. It is definitely not my husband’s account. The friends listed in the pages he follows, are not any names that I recognize from his group of friends. He would never lose contact with some of his closest friends.

I am worried.

    OP, you need to get help with your mental health.

    You keep making these posts showing clear signs of paranoia and delusions.

    Like, how are either you able to looks up your “the only name on record” claims in the first place, just search social media profiles? Is that how you found this guy?

    Now you’re stalking some online person because of a fluke coincidence?

    Like, just a few days ago you had a post saying all these other people were stealing his identity, now it’s online strangers?

    Asking if you should reporting him missing after years?

    It’s just at the point people just need to tell you bluntly:

    Seek mental health help before things get so bad you instinctively reject anything that goes against delusions.

    I know it sucks to hear, and you’re going to think it’s part of a conspiracy, but you need to get professional help.

      I didn’t ask for your abusive labeling. Perhaps one day your spouse will have the same experience I am having, and instead of looking for you, people will just insinuate that your spouse is crazy. You could get lost right now, and I wouldn’t even label him or her, regardless of whether or not they searched for you. In fact, you could get lost right now, and I wouldn’t care at all.

        It’s the only advice you need, and I started it as plainly as possible because this is the exact response a delusional person would make to the suggestion that they’re delusional.

        Often because it’s not the first time it’s been suggested.

        You make these posts without all the context hoping people reinforce your beliefs if they hear it in small doses.

        Lemmy is too small for that, people recognize usernames.
