I don't want to rehash what's been said here too much, but... someone said this sounds "situational." It doesn't. They're making you unhappy OOC. Role-play should never be that way. No one should try to alienate you from your friends or role-playing with others. No one should have so little respect for your space and time that you have to hide from them in offline mode. It may even be a sign they're not on the same page about your relationship/friendship if they want to talk to you so much more than you want to talk to them.
Miakado brought up something alluding to abuse, and I think it may be on the mark. Abuse isn't just screaming matches and someone hitting you. It can be someone smothering or controlling you and sometimes for very understandable reasons like insecurity or loneliness or love. Just because a person is struggling or sympathetic doesn't mean they're not being abusive or toxic. That's dangerous to forget.
I'm tempted to agree with Jana and say just drop it and walk away. As Warren and some others said, this behavior isn't normal, and there's a good chance a talk with the person won't change it (for long). But I think everyone deserves a chance. Talk to your RP partner. If they aren't receptive or you can't find a compromise you're both happy with, however, I would advise you not hesitate to cut ties with them, as hard as it may be. Maybe they're a good person, but it sounds like they have their own problems to sort out, and there's no reason for you to suffer while they do, or enable them. RP shouldn't make you unhappy. You shouldn't have to hide from friends.
