It gets darker fast. The boyfriend kept pushing the Jessica story, the whole family seemed to be in on it, and the relationship slid from creepy to terrifying as he refused to let it go. When Carly finally ended things, he did not take it like a normal breakup, and the video that followed has people seriously unsettled.

Carly Burke thought the “Jessica” thing was just weird family behavior, until the boyfriend and his whole family kept doubling down on it.
And if you think this family’s “Jessica” obsession is bad, see the AITA where a best friend’s secret affair with your partner made you skip the wedding.
That’s when things got complicated, because after Carly broke up with him on a Zoom call, he had already stabbed himself and still tried to stay in her life.
He then escalated the performance, pretending to enlist in the military and contacting Carly for months like they were still together.
She ended the relationship with him over a Zoom call after he had stabbed himself. Despite this, he was alright and even attempted to mend his wound by citing his experience in Cub Scouts.
In an effort to make her regret the breakup, he pretended to enlist in the military. For a few months after this, he kept contacting her as if they were still together.
As for Jessica, the original girlfriend, she unfortunately perished in a vehicular accident due to not wearing a seatbelt. Everyone was shocked by this story.
It's unclear what conclusion we can draw from this. It might be best to be cautious when someone insists on addressing you by a different name. In any case, here is the video and further information.
The final gut punch came when the original girlfriend, Jessica, was revealed to have died in a vehicular accident, and the boyfriend blamed Carly for “losing” her again.
Ultimately, Burke decided to end the relationship due to the intensity of the situation. In response, the man tragically chose to take his own life.
“This is your fault,” he told her. “I love you. I can’t lose you again.”
Unsurprisingly, viewers of the video, which has garnered over 9 million views, were dumbfounded. And so are we.
It is hard to lose someone you love, but you have to find a way to move on.
Finding a person who resembles someone you lost and pretending they are the same person is clearly not a good way to go.
The creepiest part is that he didn’t just want her, he wanted her to replace someone who was already gone.
