Is this believable story from new date?

He says:

His ex girlfriend had a history of depression. An art graduate, she struggled to hold down any job for long. He supported her financially.

During lockdown she had a complete breakdown, left her job, repeatedly called him at work having a mental health crisis meaning he had to leave work (this last point has been verified by a mutual friend).

In the end he couldn't cope with her mental health. He broke up with her two weeks ago, joined Tinder and is now on a date with me.

His only other serious ex developed depression and put on a large amount of weight after they married.

Why do I think his behaviour is contributing to these women's issues?

It’s repulsive that he disclosed all these womens mental health histories to you, he barely knows you. why is her weight relevant?

Besides that, a date 2 weeks after a breakup? No no no.

sounds like a complete dickhead.

Exactly this. You'd also hope he'd have better things to talk about on a first date than his ex's mental health. Very concerning.
