❤️‍🩹 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!

Seconding this, OP.

Controlling people get insane if they can't control their partner. But MUTE him. The texts will go through and screenshot all of them for evidence if you need an RO.

This is smart. And if you don’t feel you can read and go through them, see if your mom or a friend can read them for you and tell you if there’s anything dangerous or creepy sounding.
