Today, my boyfriend threw a fit because I "still" live with my mother at age 30. I bought her an apartment in my building and hired a live-in nurse because she is senile and permanently bedridden. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at 30 years-old, I can finally move out. I could have chosen an apartment close to work, but instead I decided to stay close to where my mother lives. Since I told her, she's been complaining that I'm selfish and I'm creating a lot of problems for her by moving so far away. I'll be living half a block from her. FML
Today, I learned that my 29-year-old boyfriend won't stay the night at my house because he lives at home with his parents and doesn't want to have "the discussion" with his mom about me. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me that we wouldn't move in together as we had planned to do for a long time. His mother forbade it. He is 27. FML
Today, I'm 37 years-old and recently out of a job. As my boyfriend refuses to pay more than half the rent as long as I live here, I have no choice but to move back in with my mom, 8 hours away. My boyfriend is quite happy to pay the entire rent as soon as I'm gone. FML
Today, I invited my elderly mother to come stay with my husband and I during this outbreak, just until everything calms down. She declined because we said she couldn’t bring her boyfriend. Her boyfriend is a 34 year-old leech who's been living off her for over a year. She refuses to change her mind. FML
Today, my mother told me she thinks it is time for me to move into my own place. I agreed with her and went to look at studios/flats online. She later came into my room, saw me looking at places and then got pissed off at me, saying that I hate her for wanting to leave her. FML
Today, my mom told me how happy she is that I'm living with her. No wait, that was a month ago. Now she tells me it’s “bad timing” that I'm living with her while she potentially has a new boyfriend, because things like me demanding that people tidy up after themselves might upset him. FML
Today, my mother-in-maw informed us that she sold her house and is moving in with us so we'll "take care" of her in old age. She's in perfect health. We've only been married for 4 months. My wife can't stand her for more than 2 weeks at a time, let alone living with us. FML
Today, my 24 year-old boyfriend said that he wanted to move out of our apartment, but also stay in a relationship. He's moving back in with his parents, over two hours away. FML.
Today, my mom gave me thirty days notice to find an apartment and move out. Why? She's dating my former best friend and wants to move him in, but he won't do it until I'm gone because it would be "awkward." FML

You're the logical one here OP. And you might want to get him a nurse too. He seems a little senile himself.

Wow, your boyfriend sounds like an asshole. You're a great daughter for taking the best possible care of your mother even if she is senile. Keep doing what you're doing, OP.

He doesn't deserve a kind hearted woman such as yourself!

He probably kicks little animals, too.

Omg drop his ass NOW! Who does he think he is ? Don't stay with a man who's so ignorant and inconsiderate to your disabled mother ! He should be referred to as "my now ex boyfriend". You clearly have ALOT going for yourself if you can afford all those things . And that's so sweet of you to do that for her so she's comfortable in own home insteada throwing her in some retirement home . Find a better guy girl ! Trust me for you it'll be easy .

You're the one doing such an amazing and sweet thing for your mother! Remember, family is forever, boyfriends are not. Don't let him discourage you and the wonderful things you've done for your mom!

tell him to get his priorities straight

He's got his priorities, they just don't align with hers. Sure he's a dick - but I'll bet there's more than one person on here for whom this situation would be a deal breaker.

You sound like a wonderful daughter. I know allot of people who would just drop their loved ones off at a nursing home and never see them, but you went the extra step and I think that's wonderful and to hell with your bf if he can't realize that your doing what you think is best for you mother then he isn't worth it

I seriously would break someone's knee caps if they ever said something like that to me regarding my mother

no decent man will make you choose between him and your family.
