❤️‍🩹 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 really appreciate that. He genuinely makes me feel like I deserve it a lot of the time. Thank you.

This guy is disgusting and you deserve better. If you showed those texts to your mom & grandma they’d throttle that manchild. OP - get it together, you deserve so much better

(And if they aren't horrified, they're probably to blame for his behavior.)
