Today, I found out my boyfriend cheated on me with his boss so he could get a promotion and "provide" for us. This from the guy who made me quit my job because he said he made enough money to support us both. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after I helped get my boyfriend get a new job, he thanked me by dumping me for some whore who works there. FML
Today, my boyfriend was fired. After breaking the news, he also broke up with me. Apparently, his boss had a creepy crush on me and would give my boyfriend bonuses for bringing me to company events and, occasionally, out on the boss's personal boat. Looks like I am no longer useful. FML
Today, I got a sweet promotion at my job. Instead of being happy and celebrating with me, my boyfriend broke up with me because he is jealous that I'm more successful than he is. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend is cheating on me. His excuse was that I never had time for his needs anymore. He’s unemployed but I guess me working and studying to get my degree so we could move out of his parents’ house was too much. Now I have no place to go. FML
Today, I found out why my boyfriend doesn't want me to get a full-time job, despite us needing the money. He's scared that I'll cheat on him with one of my coworkers, to get back at him for doing it a few years ago. I never knew he cheated on me. FML
Today, I found out my boss hired literally the only person in this town who is an ex-boyfriend. I also work with my current boyfriend. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I found out that we were cheating on each other with the same person. FML

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, right after I turned down an amazing job opportunity in another location, just so I could be with him. FML

Nobody can "make" you quit your job. Unless you have a baby on the way (or already have one), I cannot fathom a reason for you to give up on your life to sit at home just because he makes "enough." Cheating on you is just another sign of him being manipulative, controlling, and dominating. Please leave him while you still can.

Uhm. Quit your job because he made you? And for that reason? No, no. Shouldn't let someone control you like that.. Sounds like he had some hidden motives.. Maybe like you could be doing what he & his boss were doing..? Maybe that's what he was thinking. But that's awful, OP.

Hope you can get your old job back...since you'll be living alone for a bit

If you didn't have a problem working, then you should have quit. Keeping a job is important to keep your independence. I can understand if you have kids or some big job at home to keep you occupied, but if he "made" you quit, it sounds like it was for nothing. Either way cheating is inexcusable and you should definitely reconsider the grounds of your relationship. If you find it impossible to end the relationship, then at least try to seek some counseling.

My boyfriend likes to tell me I don't need to get a job and then give me deadlines to have one when we fight

Sounds like he's controlling as well and you may need to reconsider being in a relationship with him. He shouldn't have enough power over you to make you do either. If it's his way or the highway, pick the highway!

He manipulated you into becoming dependent on him, so he can get away with this sort of shit. YDI for quitting your job falling into his trap. Now get yourself out of there, before he starts poking holes in condoms to REALLY trap you in an abusive relationship

No one deserves an abusive relationship. Ever. For all you know he may have physically abused her as well and she may have been terrified to not do what he wanted. It's sick that you think she deserved this. Way to be victim-blaming scum.

Being emotionally manipulated is NOT the victim's choice. Period. It is the choice of the manipulator. But I firmly agree with your advice about getting out of an abusive relationship.
