NTA but OP, thread carefully. It may be a misguided attempt on his end to distract you and try to make you feel better (at least for a little while) since he is seeing you so down. It may not be coming from a totally selfish place so don’t burn bridges so quickly. Instead of telling him to STFU tell him you usually appreciate his enthusiasm but unfortunately you are not in a good place to joust words with him and would be thankful if he would leave you be for a little while. Tell him you’ll be happy to debate with him when you feel better, but unfortunately won’t happen now. Next time, simply tell him “I’m sorry, but not now James”. Unless he is a total d**k, he should be able to get the hint. If he is a total d**k, do tell him to STFU but get ready to get out of the house and perhaps lose some friendly support. Still would NBTA.
