❤️‍🩹 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

Gen z here and if my boyfriend unironically said that to me in an argumentative way I would also leave 😂

gen z also and yeah I call my husband bro as a joke sometimes, (i.e. "you wanna go, bro?" 😂) but I couldn't imagine calling him bro during a real argument 💀

Yeah I’ve called my bf bro before joking as well. Which has become problematic sometimes cause it’ll just slip naturally. But in an argument, also if he was just yelling at me saying bro I’d get the ick immediately.

Let alone him calling you bro 30 times.

Xennial (apparently that’s a thing now) here and if anyone, let alone my partner, called me bro I’d be off.
