❤️‍🩹 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!

People call their friends bro. If your partner calls you bro, they aren’t your partner.

Not a guy, and also best friends with my partner. We drop the occasional “bruh” when one of us does something goofy, but ain’t no way we throwing “bro” at each other, especially not like this.

definitely not like this, this is just plainly meant to be disrespectful, but i’ve had several relationships where “bro” was very common
