Today, my boyfriend of two years completely lost it because last night I told him I wanted to move to a less remote area so I can be independent. He shouted that I bring no money in, he has to do everything, and that I that I snore so loud he can hear me from downstairs where he sleeps. I'm pregnant. We are in our 40s. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend kicked me out and threatened to get a restraining order after I called him an asshole. I'm 16 weeks pregnant and over 1,000 miles away from my parents' house. FML
Today, I announced to my boyfriend of 5 years that I was pregnant. He gave me an ultimatum. Either I "get rid of it" because he’s "not ready to be a dad" or he’ll "put me out on the streets." I’m unemployed and have nowhere to go if I keep it. FML
Today, I had to make the heartbreaking decision to end my engagement after my fiancé agreed to let several of his obnoxious family members move in without even asking me. He says 'family over everything' but what does that make me? To make matters harder, I just found out I’m pregnant. FML
Today, the soon-to-be father of my baby told me he thinks I'm an extremely selfish person, and that I don't love him. His reasoning? I haven't given him a back rub in two weeks, sleep too much, and have a hormonal problem. Once again: I AM PREGNANT! FML
Today, my boyfriend and I got into a huge argument when I suggested we start sleeping in separate rooms. He thinks I don’t love him anymore, but that’s not the case. I’m madly in love with him, but he snores like a freight train and thrashes like a fucking Ninja Turtle all night. FML
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
Today, my boyfriend of 8 years moved in with two other women. He's spent the past 2 years telling me he can't afford to move out of his parent's house. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me that we can’t be together because I’m not the person he fell in love with since I don’t do anything all day. I’m 6 months pregnant and on bed rest. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend of three years that I wanted to get married and have a child within the next five years. He responded by packing up my things and showing me the door. 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.

He has no right to debase your value. Not now, not ever. Get away from that narcissistic control freak ASAP.

You don't even sleep together? Sounds like a doomed relationship.

It seems that there is a deeper frustration in place. Those things can ruin a relationship in the long run. It's easy to account it to the stress of the new baby, or to tiredness from hard work. But remember that you will need his help more than ever in the coming weeks. Talk to him, figure out what bothering him, understand how you can accommodate to each other's needs. And set boundaries to how you talk to each other even when upset. Getting personal on that level is not healthy or morally OK. Also, money is not all in life and there is no shame in getting outside help especially during times like that.

Communication, support, and boundary setting are ideal. However if this abuse keeps up, it's not her job to fix him. He needs to agree to therapy or he should GTFO.

"Independent" is code for "I'm gonna dump your ass whenever I want." You should have said you want to contribute to the family.

The freakout is an obvious red flag, but an equally concerning red flag is that he did it in response to your wish to be independent. Abusive boyfriends specifically try to limit your independence, so that you won't have the means or support that you would need in order to escape. That includes isolating you from family and friends, and making you depend on him financially. If you recognize this pattern of behavior, you need to get out now. It will get so much worse once there's a baby tying you to him.

Sounds like he's under a lot of stress. Also if you're snoring you probably aren't getting quality sleep, that's probably not great for the baby. These all sound like small solvable problems. For whatever reason internet people tend to always recommended breaking up as if there is some obvious perfect alternative. Unlikely, life is messy, figure it out.

Either way, relationship counseling is a must for your relationship to grow
