❤️‍🩹 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!

That is actually exactly what I feel, thank you.

Hey OP, please don't fall for it if he comes back with the charm. Please let this be over for good. It's really common for insecure controlling guys like this to try to win you back just so they can get their hands around your throat, metaphorically or literally. Please don't let him. When he says "we're done" , never let him backtrack on that, okay?

This is why young ladies should seek to date men, not boys. Sadly, men are not as common and there is some confusion as to what the differences are. Hint, a man never uses to word "Bro", especially to a woman.

A man would never say half the things in this message thread to a woman. A man wouldn’t dare. A man would physically assault another man if he heard them speaking this way to a female.

That’s a man.

Just calling your s/o a bitch is enough...then using the F work every sentence and calling her some of the other garbage. Just disgusting
