I don't know anything about his life and this is just pure speculation on my part, however... he comes across as someone who's been in years of therapy, if it be recovering from an addiction or whatever.
I've known a few of these types, the passive aggression and need for control is a raging inferno underneath a calm exterior. They know how to light a fire and remain calm during it while others ignite.
Then they will remain calm while the others are fiery and emotional in an attempt to make the other look bad, fueling their need for control. It's like getting your kicks off power through control or with control.
Some of the most passive aggressive people on the sporking planet.
I can't say if that's the case here for sure, and it's complete speculation but it sure seems like it to me. I know someone in particular who i feel like is so similar to Jim it's uncanny.

Jim started it with his need for controlling the moment and his ridiculous passive aggressive comment.
Luisa is having a very nice and positive moment about her magical daughter time, and Jim invades that moment with that hideous comment? Good for Linda for calling him out, too bad she couldn't remain calm though as he knows how to exploit that.
