He told to another coworker that I'm "crazy" but is hugging me so tight I can barely breathe. Why is he like that?

So... me and my coworker have a strange relationship. We used to have long phone calls where he initiated the conversations, he touches me a lot, he jokes with having a marriage with me, he texts me... etc. I don't know what to think.

Yesterday another coworker of ours was drunk and asked me to drive him home and I accepted. In the car he started insulting the coworker that im flirting with (they had a fight earlier that day) and telling me "he is joking with me just the way he is joking with you"... I asked "what do u mean?"

He replied "he is manipulating you, he is making you think that he likes you... and when I asked him why do u treat her like that, why aren't you two getting together already, he then said "she is batshit crazy, I don't want to do anything with her" ...

And I went speechless... I don't understand why would he tell something like that to another coworker, why would he treat me like that if he thinks that I'm crazy... I don't understand anything anymore.

Should I confront him? Should I rake these words with a grain of salt?
