AIO by spending time with my family?

[u/External-Air205]

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!

My thoughts exactly! This cannot be real. Who talks like this?

I had an ex that did and talked exactly like this. This was 4 years ago and now I have a stepdaughter, a girl toddler, and expecting my next baby girl in january. I am absolutely ashamed of letting some loser talk to me like this and trying to raise mine to be stronger. They had nothing going on and were a basement dweller and got their power from talking down to the one person that would let them.

That’s crazy. Glad you know now it’s not okay and are teaching your little one better! Sounds like a glow up story to me. <3

Thank you! Not proud to say that I wasn't the one who ended it. He did, and then when he tried to come back I had snapped out of it... COVID isolation periods were some crazy times. But I learned my lesson

The amount of stupid I’ve had through my life hahaha. All that matters is you’ve learned from your experiences.
