Discussing my character to his brother while I was there

Hi maybe I’m over reacting which is why I’m posting.

I’ve met my boyfriend’s brother multiple times before. We broke up for a bit and this is the first time I’m seeing his brother after 4 months. I was chatting to his brother and then my boyfriend started explaining my character to his brother in front of me. Talking about how I take things literal and I’m a literal person. Also about how I talk and imitating my tone.

Am I overreacting for feeling uncomfortable? It felt weird to sit there while someone explains to someone else about my character and how I act. I just don’t understand why he would do that in front of me.

Sorry, op. If it were me, I think it would be time for another break up.

You are absolutely not overreacting, I would be lived if my DP treated me like this.

Its totally disrespectful and I would be seriously questioning whether your DP enjoys treating you with such disregard and belittling you in front of people.

Sorry but I don’t think I could continue with someone like that, I actually thing it’s a form of (subtle) abuse.

No, you are not overreacting.

Your BF lacks the ability to communicate properly and he disrespected you.

I suggest you have some words with him about this and tell him how you felt and hopefully he will learn something.

Dump his disrespectful ass. It makes me sad for you that you didnt tell him to stfu on the spot. What a tool.

He was either deliberately being unpleasant to you or he’s completely emotionally incompetent and a bit thick. Either way, you deserve better

He disrespected and belittled you. He was either punishing you for the break up or testing to see if you are ripe for an abusive relationship Walk away, he's not a kind man.

Edit - Also about how I talk and imitating my tone.
I missed that bit. That's abusive and bullying.
