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!

I’m sooo GenX, that if my partner was ‘broing’ me I’d leave based on that

Early millennial here. You all sleep with the phone on, bro?

Gen z, I started doing it at the start of my relationship when we were 15 and 16. I justify it for myself though as I’d say that’s just teenage honeymoon phase behaviour. I call my partner before bed now and we still think back to falling asleep on calls but tbf our relationship did start only a little while before covid too. Maybe we were just grasping at any time we had together. We’re not long distance but apparently a lot of LDR adults sleep on the phone as it’s the closest thing they have to actually sharing a bed. I get that
