Would you find it weird of your boyfriend copied things you did? Example, we live separately and I would purchase something specific like a frozen pasta meal and a couple days later he goes and get the exact same thing or similar or if I get a non food item, he goes and get something like it. Sometimes if I go places or get get ice cream, few days later he’ll go get ice cream. Random examples and If he likes it too, I get it but sometimes it feels strange because it happens often. Is this something strange to you? Can’t put my finger on it.

It's not weird. Someone in a couple often does things that remind them of the other person.
Some of this stuff may be coincidence, you just gave him the idea, etc.
Some of it may show that he's thinking of you or misses you.

i had that similar feeling once with a guy i was kinda seeing in college… i’m already covered in tattoos and he wasn’t when i first met him. couple months later he’s got two full sleeves and a whole ass chest piece. he’d start listening to the same music as me (bass and edm) even tho he’s usually a red hot chili peppers or any other rock genre. And he even started drinking as much as I did (I was an alcoholic). I couldn’t tell if he really liked me or he just did those things so it could seem like we had a lot in common when we really didn’t. i kinda backed off for a while because it weirded me out a little.

I mean... that sounds like he wants the same things you want, and like you are excluding him. Like if I'm going to get icecream, I ask my SO if he also would like some or wants to come with me. Same with meals, either we try to cook something we can both eat, or I'll buy 2 of something like freezer meals so we can both have one. And for non food items, maybe he doesnt feel comfortable using yours. If you live together, do you share anything?
wow yea, I get it. How was it when you reconnected?
We do alot together but they’re times when I go places alone with our son when he’s busy. I understand where you’re coming from. We don’t live together though. He comes over sometimes and we all do things then. Otherwise, he’s working or busy. That was one of many small examples.

well, we never really reconnected because i ended up moving out of state and our feelings were not mutual (he was “in love” with me when he didn’t even know me, and I just wasn’t into him like that). Plus he’s a triple scorpio male and a super fuckin intense person in general 😅
ahhhh I see. Glad you dodged that one. Maybe I watch too many, suspense or psychological movies 😂

Ahh sorry I read that wrong. Yeah I'd lean more toward what audrey said then. Like you put the idea in his mind so he wanted it too. My hubs and I have been together 15 years and I'm totally the type of person that just wants everything he has too. Lmfao like he gets ice cream, he better get me some. He makes food he better share. He ended up getting the same phone as me cuz he really liked it. Then I got earbuds and he wanted some too so I got him some. If you stack it all up like that it sounds codependent, but we are actually super independent people and do loads of things on our own. Like he plays video games and is a musician while I have no interest or talent in those areas. He often goes to concerts without me too for music he likes and I dont. And I go to lots of Broadway shows and other types of events without him and I'm really into artsy stuff and crafting and DIY.

I do too I think that’s why I dodged it and perhaps I may have totally misjudged his character lmaooo 😅 but really though at that time I was like “.. okay i wanna date someone who’s different than me not someone who’s exactly like me” there’s only enough room for one scorpio and it’s gonna be me 😂😂
😂😅 I can understand that. Too much of anything is not good!
I get what you’re saying. Thank you.
True. I couldn’t put my finger on it earlier but I wonder could It be a form of jealousy for some 🤔 Rhetorical question.
We came from two different backgrounds (I don’t mean that in a rude way) and sometimes I sense that he is trying to keep up with the jones’. I’m not from a necessarily rich family but we were ok. However, he comes from poverty and again, not to offend anyone. Just trying to make sense of this. I’m just wondering to myself if it’s out of admiration or something else. At first it wasn’t a big deal but over time I started to wonder. I appreciate your thoughts.

I think your feelings are definitely valid! Maybe just have a conversation with him about it? Like hey I've noticed you've been copying my a lot lately and wondered if there is anything more to it.

I wouldn't adress it directly, he'll get defensive.
I'd adress his feelings, make sure he feels secure, like he belongs in your world, he knows you like him still.
