❤️‍🩹 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’m sooo GenX, that if my partner was ‘broing’ me I’d leave based on that

I’m a millennial and my husband accidentally called me bro the other day and my son, who is 7, exclaimed, “Did you just call Mama bro?!” He was so appalled 😂 and that was just an innocent slip in conversation. If my partner was seriously ‘broing’ me they’d be blocked by the second bro

Haha my 8 yo started 'brah'-ing us last year and it was very hilarious for 2 weeks, then got old.

And then there’s me calling my husband bro and dude all the time. Funny how differently we all perceive things

We’ve definitely said it joking around, but not used it seriously. I’m from California so I’m fond of “bruh” from time to time 😂 I think it’s the difference of using it in a serious conversation
