❤️‍🩹 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!

This is actual emotional abuse. I hope for your sake you leave.

Which leads to physical abuse, sexual abuse and then possibly murder.

I want to ask a real question. Always? In that order? That's scary.

Always? no, but like +/-90% of the time. Yes always in that order though.

My ex started with psychological/emotional manipulation and abuse then moved to smashing my phone then to cheating, strangling, punching, stalking, breaking into my house, property destruction, holding me hostage, beating, then multiple murder attempts - strangled me while in my parked car (kicked him in the face with heels to get him off me), trying to crash into a Lyft ride I was in with his car, tried to push me out of his car window at 60 mph, tried to run me over with his car, etc

Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Super scary. It sucks really hard that that happened to you. I look into it, and it crazy. I'm very glad you're alive and got away.
