He ignored her suffering and diminished it saying that for 5 days a month she feels what he deals with every day. He's ignoring her point and one-upping her. That's toxic behaviour that doesn't help anything.

That he is also suffering is a separate conversation that also needs to take place but that's a different conversation. The first step is resolving conflict is by listening to the other person's point of view, not dismissing it as less important.

… it is that “toxic” mental health that the author is trying to emphasize needs to be met.

both issues are valid. but shorthair‘s mental health problem is what's being highlighted.

It's precisely shorthair’s dismissal that needs to be intervened.

there maybe some underlying ASPD that needs to be resolved.
