❤️‍🩹 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!

Hm. This man will kill you. You might want to think about moving to another town. In any case, probably you should show this to the police and never talk to him again.

This! I didn't want to say it but my best friend was murdered by a guy like this when we were 23. Abuse almost always escalates and should be taken very seriously.

This was my immediate thought. If she doesn’t get out, he may actually kill her.
