I'm not sure about the crack. Could it be the house settling? (When I got a new washer upstairs, it shook the house on high spin cycle, and yes, it was balanced.)
The peeling is due to moisture and/or improper prep. For instance, a flat water based paint will fall off an oil based paint at the least excuse. Do you have an exterior ventilation system, i.e., a wall or ceiling exhaust fan? Is it working well, or could it be stuck with lint? (My furnace kicked off and then stopped running one spring. A robin had built her nest in the exhaust pipe.) Lots of thoughts. I hate to take advantage of the nice guys who offer free estimates, but if he can identify your problem, that's half the battle. That's an interesting one, Sandy, let us know what happens so we can all learn!
this appears to be a structural/foundation issue call in a pro for an assessment
Pull the tape off and re-tape the seam, then paint to match the rest of the ceiling.
This bathroom is not used for showering so moisture shouldn't be a problem. Now the sheetrock guy could have been the problem. The house was built in 78 so I would think the settling would have been done but who knows.
The peeling could be caused by moisture. Do you have a ceiling exhaust fan? It may be outdated and a new one could solve the problem. That's what happened with ours. Check for the proper size for your room and noise level.
Definitely call a structural engineer, it looks like you may have a problem that repairing the sheetrock will not help.
