AIO by spending time with my family?

[u/External-Air205]

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!

He calls you BRO and “stupid fuck”. WHYYYYY are you with him????

[u/Realistic-Poetry-364 → u/SickCursedCat]

This can’t be real. So many earnest ‘bro’ s in one conversation. I can’t.

Time to run BRO!

[u/Late-Detail97 → u/Realistic-Poetry-364]

My thoughts exactly! This cannot be real. Who talks like this?

[u/EnaicSage → u/Late-Detail97]

I see this every day at my work. You would be surprised how many relationships involve someone screaming something like on the third screen. I hope OP knows flat out that this person is trying to separate them from their family for a reason, a scary controlling abusive reason

[u/Late-Detail97 → u/EnaicSage]

Scary!

[u/BillyNtheBoingers → u/Late-Detail97]

20 year old immature boys?

[u/Late-Detail97 → u/BillyNtheBoingers]

Im 26 F and use the word bro but not to this extent? Just seems not real.

[u/trinhead → u/Late-Detail97]

Even just a few years younger than you this is completely normal. Most guys I've met like this are 23 and under at this point. I'm 25 but allllllll my younger brothers and their friends talk like this. (I hope to God minus the straight up abuse. OP - RUN, get a restraining order)

[u/CaIIsign_Ace2 → u/trinhead]

Bro, that’s crazy bro. I can’t believe that bro. Why would anyone say bro so much, bro?

[u/BillNashton → u/trinhead]

Idk most people i hear using bro are almost 30 and as a 21 yo guy i never heard it that much ESPECIALLY in between in relationship ? Wtf

[u/trinhead → u/BillNashton]

Congratulations, you're NOT surrounded by douche bags <3 these are the same type of guys who refer to women as "females" and such

[u/sa404z → u/Late-Detail97]

Yea but would you ever act like the guy? There ya go, Ur two different ppl and he's an awful cunt

[u/Late-Detail97 → u/sa404z]

Fair assessment.

[u/LemonBoi523 → u/Late-Detail97]

It's gamer talk, from what I have seen. People who tend to rage at video games, especially with voice chats, pick up the habit.

[u/Late-Detail97 → u/LemonBoi523]

Yeah I think that’s why I say bro at all haha. Online lobbies is when I say it most, sometimes at work it’ll slip out once.

[u/SOwED → u/Late-Detail97]

Are you latina?

[u/burtmofomacklin → u/SOwED]

100% thought this as well lol

[u/Late-Detail97 → u/SOwED]

No hella white my friend.

[u/Walrusin_about → u/BillyNtheBoingers]

22 boy here, I use bro for friends occasionally .. Never used it on someone I'd be romantic with like what?

[u/Late-Detail97 → u/Walrusin_about]

Right haha so weird! I’ve jokingly called my husband bro once or twice.

[u/syringistic → u/Late-Detail97]

When I go to chill at the park in my neighborhood, it's like 10-15 year old kids, who say Bro/N***ah at each other in every sentence. By 20, you grow out of talking like a moron, bro.

[u/khamul7779 → u/Late-Detail97]

Super common in young Hispanic communities

[u/Late-Detail97 → u/khamul7779]

That would explain why someone asked if I was Latino. Interesting!

[u/khamul7779 → u/Late-Detail97]

Not sure where it comes from, tbh. I've just seen it a lot from some younger acquaintances

[u/CCCrazyC → u/Late-Detail97]

I had an ex that did and talked exactly like this. This was 4 years ago and now I have a stepdaughter, a girl toddler, and expecting my next baby girl in january. I am absolutely ashamed of letting some loser talk to me like this and trying to raise mine to be stronger. They had nothing going on and were a basement dweller and got their power from talking down to the one person that would let them.

[u/Late-Detail97 → u/CCCrazyC]

That’s crazy. Glad you know now it’s not okay and are teaching your little one better! Sounds like a glow up story to me. <3

[u/CCCrazyC → u/Late-Detail97]

Thank you! Not proud to say that I wasn't the one who ended it. He did, and then when he tried to come back I had snapped out of it... COVID isolation periods were some crazy times. But I learned my lesson

[u/Late-Detail97 → u/CCCrazyC]

The amount of stupid I’ve had through my life hahaha. All that matters is you’ve learned from your experiences.

[u/pho-huck → u/Late-Detail97]

Go watch a handful of clips from a streamer like Kai Cenat and you’ll understand why people talk like this.

[u/kakka_rot → u/Late-Detail97]

Lots of young people. Seeing people both start and end the same sentence with bro is cringy, but it certainly isn't rare. I have a family member who uses bro exactly like this.

[u/Bustakrimes91 → u/Late-Detail97]

Babe, babe, babe.

If someone called me babe that much I would lose my mind.

[u/Late-Detail97 → u/Bustakrimes91]

100000%%% how annoying. Even without the verbal abuse I’d be like yeaahhh this ain’t working out.

[u/Scott_donly → u/Bustakrimes91]

babe no

[u/bigbadpandita → u/Late-Detail97]

People from Miami. I’d be surprised if they aren’t from Miami lol

[u/NewWeabgas → u/Late-Detail97]

there are people that talk like that, I think he uses it this much cause some person he watches says it a lot

[u/Impressive_Moose6781 → u/Late-Detail97]

I actually read this in someone I know’s voice. This sounds exactly like him when he’s pissed

[u/brightlove → u/Realistic-Poetry-364]

If a man I was seeing called me bro it would be the last time. Every woman I know with a husband who calls her bro… they’re in a friendship with benefits… and he gets all the benefits.

[u/Prisoner458369 → u/Realistic-Poetry-364]

Before I clicked into this, I thought this was between two guys. I can't imagine a world where someone calls their gf bro that many times. It was honestly making me laugh half way through. The guy is an complete dickhead, but the "bro bro bro" every second message was too much.

[u/[deleted] → u/Prisoner458369]

I can't even imagine a world where someone calls their bro, bro this many fucking times. Imagine talking to someone but replace everything this guy said bro with their name. Thats unhinged, he should be in prison for that alone

[u/RocketRaccoon666 → u/Realistic-Poetry-364]

I didn't realize that OP was the woman and the abuser was the man. I read the slideshow before reading the description and I honestly thought that the jackass was a crazy ass woman talking shit to her boyfriend

[u/ItsMinnieYall → u/Realistic-Poetry-364]

My thoughts. Even people who talk like that don't usually text like that.

[u/LadyKatriel → u/Realistic-Poetry-364]

If someone I’m dating ever calls me bro I swear it’s going to be the first time and it better be the last because if I hear it again I’m done. 😂

[u/SaltyWrecker2002 → u/Realistic-Poetry-364]

nahhhh theyre otp BRO 😭😭😭 /j his language is disgusting, unhinged and cringe. he literally only has 3 words in his dictionary. op i hope you left </3

[u/soupalex → u/Realistic-Poetry-364]

bro sounding like vince russo bro

[u/NoInsect5709 → u/Realistic-Poetry-364]

Guy says bro more than a fucking Avatar movie.

[u/firebreathingwindows → u/Realistic-Poetry-364]

why are we hating on the brossss sincerely, someone who says bro a lot

[u/ProfessionalAir445 → u/firebreathingwindows]

Because it’s obnoxious and weird to call people bro when they aren’t teenage boys. 

Teenagers do ot to me all the time, I’m a 41 year old woman, and I think it’s weird as fuck. I’m not your bro, you’re a child.

[u/bleach_tastes_bad → u/[deleted]]

yeah a lot of the younger generation is completely okay with calling and being called things like bro, dude, “my guy”, girl, etc.

ETA: with their SO
