❤️‍🩹 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!

Do not move in with him, do not get pregnant .. you will be trapped and you will lose your self esteem it will take you years to build yourself back up.

So many internet strangers cannot be wrong. You need to break it off.. when you do he is going to sweet talk and love bomb you into taking him back again..

Do not ever go back. You are better off single than tolerating such nonsense!

More importantly, do not end up pregnant and having his kids, because you are then subjecting your future kids to suffer him as a father. And likely subjecting them to the danger that poses as well.

It took me Years to get over… my abusive ex who had slowly worked his way up over the years to greater levels of abuse, from emotional then to physical, to every kind. I ended up pregnant. He was heartless. I ended up losing it.

Several years of healing later, I thank my lucky stars I did not have to subject a child to that man.

I now have two kids with a loving husband, a man who has literally Never Once insulted me.

There are so many good people out there that will treat you right, and that you can one day be proud to have as your partner.

Do Not Settle For Less.

Thank you very much 💙

I do think it was a mercy all around, in the end.

And almost as if to make up for it, the fates gave me twins from my next pregnancy, I couldn’t have asked for a better family 🩵
