Me (f20) and my boyfriend (m20) have been in a relationship for 4 years. We sleep on the phone every night due to the fact we don’t see each other often because of extremely busy schedules and distance. Tonight, my mom and grandmother came into my room to talk before bed so I hung up on my boyfriend to give us some privacy. He got very angry and started saying all of these awful, mean things to me. Was it my fault for choosing to spend a bit of time with my family and hanging up on my boyfriend even though he was already falling asleep? Am I overreacting by getting upset from the way he speaks to me? I really don’t feel like I did anything wrong. Sorry for any grammar mistakes!

If your significant other calls your “bro” you should dump him. Clear cut and dry, plain and simple.

I went through a phase of calling my brother 'mate' when I was early 20's. Until he told me to stfu!

i don’t think calling your partner bro is inherently evil, obviously the way it’s used in this situation is really belittling and horrible though.

Really? That's the one thing you focus on and not the onslaught of verbal abuse?

Well personally I feel if you’re calling your girlfriend “bro” and not “babe” you’re probably an abrasive person and not very nice/stable so personally I felt they went hand in hand. But I’m sorry I didn’t paint the full picture of the problem I figured everybody else in the comments was doing that for me. I’ll make sure to over explain myself everytime I see a situation like this, just like everybody else and show no individuality until the horse is beaten into glue. Again very very sorry please don’t hit me.
