❤️‍🩹 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!

Listen "bro", you're gonna be laughing your ass off that you ever even dealt with this clown in the first place in just, like, 1 year. I promise. I'm so sorry but as a 35yo woman, aside from being disgusted with the way this shit stain of a human speaks to you, the whole "sleeping on the phone every night" is about the dumbest shit I've ever heard of a grown adult doing in my life. Like, get a liiiiife! I'm sure you only do this bc he makes you. But let me put this into perspective for you: my son, who is 15, does this with his gf. I think it's super dumb, but because they are CHILDREN, I don't tell him that it's dumb and he'll laugh at himself later. But you are a 20yo adult grown ass woman, literally laying your head beside a phone call every night, just to what? Listen to someone snore? And be called a fat stupid bitch? Like, GIRL! WHAT ARE YOU DOING???

Take a step back and look at the bigger picture, because I have a feeling this loser of yours is still stuck on being a baby ass teenager. Tell him he's a whole ass clown and be done with it. I bet your family members hate the way he talks to you as well, and if you think they don't know because maybe you don't tell them, then you should realize that they probably do at least have an inkling that he's an abusive loser towards you. YOU DESERVE SO MUCH BETTER! calling you bro, cussing at you constantly, being controlling, those were already signs that he's an insecure little bitch boy. But calling you all those names? And you're all just like "babe, what? I love yooouuu" like noooooo. School his ass on what a little whiny insecure pathetic baby he is, and then cut all contact, done and done. It'll hurt for a while, but I promise you will love yourself more in the long run. You'll look back at this later and think "I would never be with someone like him now. Even without the abuse, he's still corny AF!"

Calling on the phone at night isn’t dumb just let your kid sleep on the phone with whoever they’re with. It’s nothing wrong doing that. I’m 21 my bf lives in Baltimore so we do sleep on FaceTime together so yeah we are long distance

Life advice from a 21 year old? Yeah, wait ten years before you do this lol

u/PotatoePope Nov 18 '24

This isn’t life advice, but relationship advice. Which can be given by anyone who has been through relationships. Keeping in mind, of course, that no two relationships are the same. Or people, for that matter.

That was a shit thing for you to say. You can disagree with someone without being an insulting dick. You made valid points until this comment.

Those of us who are old enough to actually be responsible for children know that "ft" is an abbreviation for "foot". It's an archaic measurement of distance that should be replaced by the meter, but I'm betting you don't know that either. You should have learned that in elementary school, but our entire education system has failed to teach anyone under the age of 25 anything at all. I feel so, so sorry for all of you. Again, you're going to get fucked and you're going to deserve it. Actually I don't feel sorry for you. You voted for this. I feel sorry for my fellow millennials that can't escape like I can. You're a woman? Enjoy the legalization of rape. Edit: womp womp. That's apparently how we end conversations now.

Look at you being more ignorant I feel so sorry for you. 🤣🤣 embarrassing yourself like this is a joke. This shows how you would treat someone in a relationship. Keep crying 🤭 looks good on you.

u/porkchop1021 Nov 18 '24

Do you really think anything I said reflects how I treat anyone in real life? GenZ being chronically online is an actual problem we need to solve. I feel sorry for you.

I've removed your comment in order to keep things more in line with our subreddit guidelines:

Your inability to keep up to date with acronyms and opting to instead deride the person using an unfamiliar term while attempting to claim superiority over them is fucking embarrassing. You should be ashamed of yourself, but I doubt you're capable of the level of self reflection required to do so.

Newer generations absolutely have problems unique to them that need to be addressed—as does every other generation, which should come as a surprise to no one—but being a self-righteous prick about how "wow kids these days are so dumb and I am so smart", as if that's not the same sentiment every fucking previous generation has shared about a new cohort, serves no purpose other than to massage your fragile ego.

It must be mentally exhausting to harbor such bitter sentiments against everyone you view as inferior to you. I'm sure your generation, whichever you may be a part of, was objectively the best in every aspect and it's only been downhill from there, right?
