AIBU to hang up first?!

Ok I don’t think I was unreasonable, I’m in my 30s I’m not 13.
My partner is also in his 30s.
FaceTime, he says he’s going bed, I say goodnight, he says bye, I say bye and hang up.
He then texts me ‘why did you hang up?’
I’m socially awkward but surely that’s what you do after a FaceTime conversation? He said I shouldnt have hung up and should have ‘been cute’ wtf does that even mean?! Now he keeps FaceTiming and sending ‘poor me my girlfriend hates me’ type messages. Eurgh.

YANBU. If someone says goodbye I take them at their word that they are going

rainbowlou · 04/08/2018 23:42

Oh yuk, did he want to do the whole ‘no you hang up’ thing?
I’d have said goodbye and hung up too, not an attractive trait!

Notamorningperson84 · 04/08/2018 23:42

Urgh. He sounds like hard work.

Slapbetcommissioner · 04/08/2018 23:42

He wanted you to do the 'you hang up' 'no you hang up' thing? Is that what he meant by 'being cute'? He is being unreasonable....

Ohyesiam · 04/08/2018 23:43

He sounds very needy.

AutumnGrace · 04/08/2018 23:43

Cringe, YANBU! He is acting like a teenager 😕

Greenyogagirl · 04/08/2018 23:45

The whole ‘you hang up no you hang up’ thing is either just on tv or for teenagers in the first flushes of a romance surely. I can’t be coping with someone who needs that kind of attention just from a FaceTime/phone call

We always say bye back and forth to each other for a while. We've been together 7 years. We are in our sixties. Hate hanging up on each other.

BunsOfAnarchy · 04/08/2018 23:46

He knows it's 2018 right Grin

SilverHairedCat · 04/08/2018 23:47

Is he Ross Geller?

Greenyogagirl · 04/08/2018 23:50

Grin I would send him that video but he’d probably say ‘see that’s what you’re supposed to do!’

Sorry, that was a long clip!

Gah, that would drive me nuts though.

Skittlesandbeer · 04/08/2018 23:57

I’d be texting him back...’Well, you’re kinda right. Your girlfriend doesn’t hate you, but she really hates teenaged phone game-playing. And passive-aggressive texts. Nighty nighty.’

Sheeeesh! Next he’ll be doing a pouty face because you don’t feed him from your plate...

LTB, not worth the effort

9amTrain · 05/08/2018 01:07

People still do that cringy shit?!

Basta · 05/08/2018 01:07

You may not be 13, but it sounds like your boyfriend is.

MrsTerryPratchett · 05/08/2018 01:21

Waaaaay too needy for me sorry.
