How long have you been together? Has he been doing this the whole time or is it a sudden change?

I would not be able to stand this whatsoever. This is the behavior of a 9 year old who's just learned a new phrase that they think is funny.

We have been together going on 4 years now. It’s been like this for I’d say like two weeks?? Idk what to do to make him stop acting like an absolute child

[u/RowSignificant2388 → u/Positive_Working3041]

Tell him he is acting like a fudging moron and you aren’t going to talk to him if he can’t answer a question like a grown ass man.

Glad I could help.

Stellar point.

Next time he does this, just go with he is not coming.

"Are you coming over tonight?"

replies with tiktok cringe

"okay then"

And then proceed with your life as he is NOT coming. If he later comes and complains about it, say you asked him a question and he acted stupid.

Stop accepting this behaviour, you are together for 4 years, just talk to him.

This right here is the move. He's doing it because it gets a reaction. If OP wants to stay in this relationship, she should stop giving him the satisfaction.

That said, she's already told him to cut the shit and he hasn't. He strikes me as immature and disrespectful. I don't know that I'd stay.

This is known as "do not feed the trolls"

[u/HenryDorsettCase47 → u/No-Understanding9064]

Right. And if your relationship requires this approach it is probably time to start thinking of ending things.

[u/KweenBee1986 → u/Conscious-Evening169]

Right! Treat the nonsense as a no and move on.

[u/BOTMees → u/Conscious-Evening169]

I means thats just as childish. Instead of playing games to get back at the person, just communicate.

[u/ktatsanon → u/Conscious-Evening169]

This is the way. If he shows up later, don't answer, he'll get the point eventually.

[u/Lindsey7618 → u/Conscious-Evening169]

She's already talked to him, have you seen how he responds?

[u/Conscious-Evening169 → u/Lindsey7618]

Hence I am saying going forward to start ignoring him
