For anyone that cares, which I appreciate in all likelihood is very few, I am glad to say my relationship recovered and we reconciliated. This forum can be very helpful for people to vent or seek advice, and it has been for me too. It was unfortunately a very difficult time in my life, which is why I have sympathy for someone clearly struggling with theirs. Scrolling back four years to try and win internet points over someone's personal life being another example of that. The posts/alt accounts will probably continue, but that is their problem, and I hope they get sorted.
For what it is worth regarding the shooting, Sweden does have an issue with far-right and nazi sympathisers. It goes back to the war time, and having lived in the country, I have come across people (particularly from an older or wealthy demographic) who have some quite openly racist views. The sympathy for these opinions have almost certainly increased in recent years with the turmoil the country now sees itself in following the open border policy which has failed spectacularly.
Whilst I am still curious as to the motivations of this guy, I suspect it was probably a racist attack. I am afraid to say I think we will see more of these type of thing as time goes on. Sweden is a very interesting country, but the people are some of the strangest I've met anywhere in the world. There are so many introverts living in basements, and it wouldn't surprise me if this guy is one of them.
