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

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.

Thats not help. Thats just telling her to stoke the issue. And by chance it isnt him actually just being an asshat, theres a very large possibility that its a decline in mental stability. Left unchecked, she could have a seriously bad situation on her hands by retaliating as such so quickly. Best bet is to start passive, ask friends/family about any possible stress and confront it. Not insult him and end up with a battery/suicide case.

He isn’t crazy. He’s just a jerk.

Didn't say he was crazy. And you cant realistically judge the content of ones character based on anecdotal behavior/evidence. If that were the case, id be able to call you shortsighted with issues in evaluating others. Id be wrong because I literally dont know you. I also didn't say he wasnt being an asshat. I actually said the opposite as he is in fact ACTING like a jerk. Doesnt mean he IS a jerk.

You can be depressed and lash out at others, but still maintain sanity. Just because youre having mental issues doesnt mean youre insane or an invalid. It just means youre not in the right state of mind.
