I broke up with my boyfriend because he yelled at me.

If he didn’t respect you enough not to call you vulgar names, how much respect do you think he’s going to have for you when you “patch things up” and get back together with him? I notice in your confession he never apologized, just accused you of overreacting. You also never said he has reached out to you about getting back together- just that your friends were pressuring you to take him back. You’re talking about working things out with him and so far it doesn’t appears he’s even tired to contact you over this. He walked out of your house and out of your life. Now YOU want to patch things up because your friends say you overreacted and his friends are harassing you?!

If you do get back together, he’ll know he can do these kinds of things and you’ll allow it. It will only escalate, that I PROMISE you. This is the textbook beginning of emotional abuse. From there it often leads to physical abuse. Respect yourself and find a better partner.
