<human>: We've been on/off for years due to extraneous circumstances. Right now we're long distance, living in different continents, so the phone calls and skype chats are piling on. Because there's an eight hour time difference between us, I understand that when I might need to talk to him about something serious, he could very well be out with his friends and unable to have a private conversation, but he should then let me know, instead of blasting me on speaker phone without a word of warning. The only reason I even know he's doing this, is b/c I can hear his friends laugh in the background. He, himself, doesn't laugh, but the fact he doesn't duck outside for five seconds to hear me out or tell me he's busy, is a little rude, no? 

It wouldn't be an issue if he did it when we were having a casual, fun conversation, but he does it ALL THE TIME. For example, I called him yesterday morning to tell him the care package I sent was going to arrive in a week's time, he asked why I wasn't on my way to work yet (as I usually would have been at that time) and I explained that I had to visit my uncle in the hospital. My uncle has cancer and is like a father figure to me, so the whole topic made me rather emotional. I started to well up and it was obvious by the sound of my voice, but he STILL didn't take me off of speaker phone. I heard one of his friends ask, "What the fuck is her problem?" and a few of them laugh in the background. 

It was fucked up, left a really bad taste in my mouth, and I'm now on the verge of blocking his calls. I know it's a bit of an overreaction on my part, but if he can't take my limits seriously, why should I bother? I've tried talking to him about it but he doesn't think it's a big deal.

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: Long-distance boyfriend puts me on speaker phone in front of his friends, even if I'm addressing a personal issue, and doesn't think there's anything wrong with it. What do you think?
