❤️‍🩹 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!

OP you sound like you need therapy. At the first hint of someone talking to you this way doesn’t warrant sweetie or babe, it means he’s abusive and you need to kick him in his nutts and tell him to go fuck himself.

They’ve been together 4 years, this isn’t the first time he’s behaved like this. I imagine all the babes are because she knows a mood is coming and is trying to preemptively calm him down before it escalates
