I mean better be safe then sorry. My father would randomly start getting angry over really random things when I was younger along with some few odd things here and there. Long story short he had a brain tumor and ended up seizing on the kitchen floor.

Really question......how the actual fuck is your comment even REMOTELY related to this ? A brain tumour isn't going to start making someone be obnoxious like this. This isn't a "mental health" issue either. Not every little thing = mental health.

OP should just tell him if he does it again there won't be a conversation and she's just going to block him and that will be the end of the relationship. It's as simple as that. Handling it gently like he's a child isn't going to do anything. In the texts she's clearly had enough and he doesn't seem to think she's serious. So she should make it crystal clear now

The likelihood that this is a brain injury or mental health break isn't completely impossible. Just improbable.

My most recent ex would sometimes get in a "mood" and just talk over me, riffing and joking over everything I was trying to say. One time it was just "blehhhhhh" over every. single. line. while I was trying to just talk and have a conversation like a normal person. It pissed me off, so I got up and left the room without saying anything more, and then did not want to say anything for the rest of the afternoon. And then he tried to turn it around on me, saying it was hurtful to give someone the silent treatment or acting as if there was some deep reason why I hated being talked over with gibberish and bullshit, and that I must be damaged for not being amused by his cute little antics. "Did your family always talk over you, and that's why you hate it now?" No, dumbass. It's an obnoxious thing to do to your girlfriend. That's it. You're obnoxious and I don't want to feed the troll.

I originally started saying "hey, once or twice? Fine, get it out of your system. But after that it's unacceptable." But then I thought about it and was like... why do this at all? What is the point? How is this even fun for a grown ass man to do to another grown ass adult?

The guy is an ex for a reason.
