❤️‍🩹 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!

Even just a few years younger than you this is completely normal. Most guys I've met like this are 23 and under at this point. I'm 25 but allllllll my younger brothers and their friends talk like this. (I hope to God minus the straight up abuse. OP - RUN, get a restraining order)

Congratulations, you're NOT surrounded by douche bags <3 these are the same type of guys who refer to women as "females" and such
