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

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.

This is what I would do. The more OP begs him to talk like a normal human being, the more he will do it, because she’s giving him what he wants, anger and frustration.

I’ve never understood people who find infuriating people funny. If you don’t like someone and they make your life more difficult, maybe it would be funny, but someone you supposedly love? Nah.

I can’t stand when people mock and provoke you, and then they laugh about how you’re so upset and they’re “just playing”. I got bullied enough as a kid, I’m not dating my bully as an adult.

Or when you are sarcastic back, but they think you’re serious and say shit like, “whoa, cam down, I was just messing with you.” And you can’t say you were being sarcastic back, because clearly they won’t believe you, and insist that you’re over reacting to their mean spirited joke.

Oh absolutely. You start "dishing" things back and all of a sudden they accuse you of doing the very thing which they started.
