Hello everyone I've decided to post in this forum because I am very desperate for any advice or information regarding symptoms of TBI and behavior. It would help a lot because I am deeply heartbroken and feeling lost. Please take the time to read and respond I would appreciate it very much!

My fiancé was in a concussion for 2 days. He is 23 years old. His doctor told him he was found on the street unconscious and was brought to the emergency room. During this time my fiancé and I were arguing so I did not see him before or after the incident. At first I believed he was lying to make me come to him since I refused to see him so I kept in contact with him through text. I finally decided to meet with him after I had a strange feeling because he seemed different even through our texts.

I met him 2 weeks after his incident and he seemed like himself but a bit different. He told me he lost a portion of his memory, bits and pieces. He still remembered me and our son but couldn't remember the days we spent together or much about our relationship. He also knew that he still loved me but didn't know why.

The second and third time I met him was when I started to see more drastic changes. This was in a week span. Suddenly he began to talk like a 3 year old child. He would whine or whimper if he doesn't get his way. He will put on a crying face. He always looks out the window and murmurs to himself when he's driving. When I ask him questions about things he remembers, he will whine and tell me to stop because he is getting a headache. He seems very dazed and out of it but he can function like a normal adult. He still knows how to drive, take the train, find his way around, remembers directions, cook, etc.

Recently he is acting more like a baby. He is not aware of my feelings and cannot pick up on things. He wants what he wants and if he doesn't get it he gets very upset. At times he will say he doesn't want to be with me anymore and that he doesn't like me. He saw our son but he began to cry so my fiancé just walked away and went home because he could not handle it. He said he doesn't want to be a father anymore or see both of us anymore. I've been talking to him and comforting him like a child to soothe his frustrations.

Before this incident my fiancé was very manly, strong willed, loud, easily irritated, had a temper, was aggressive and always lead the way. He was also always alert and aware of his surroundings because he was in the army. He was a man not a child. We would have meaningful conversations and he took care of me. Now he is the complete opposite. He is soft, timid, calm, acts childish and seems a bit off. He is not aware that he has changed and does not remember who or how he was before except that he had an anger issue.

I really don't know what to do. His family has no idea what happened and they aren't aware. He lives with his parents but his parents are barely home because of work. The man I love is gone and I'm dealing with someone completely different. It's as if he's slowly changing.

Will his maturity level ever be normal? Why is he acting like a child and will he slowly recover? Will he act like an adult again? Sometimes I hear his old voice when he's thinking hard about something like when he was fixing our bumper "You need to fix the light." I will hear his old voice instead of the baby voice for couple seconds and it gives me hope. Maybe his mind is going in and out? I'm not sure why this happens.

PLEASE HELP! He doesn't want to go to the doctor either but we agreed in November to go to the emergency room for medical records.
