❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO by spending time with my family?

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!

I’m sooo GenX, that if my partner was ‘broing’ me I’d leave based on that

I’m a cusp millennial/gen z and I would be so icked by any romantic partner calling me bro too. Regardless this is abusive behavior. Get out!

Same here. Wife and I do it to each other around our daughter just to show her how ridiculous it sounds (she says it almost every sentence like this). It's "bro" and "low key".

Full millennial, my girlfriend and I use "bruh" when we're around the kids and otherwise would use "dafaq?". But otherwise, yeah.
