Today, my boyfriend of 6 years broke up with me. That would have been fine, if we hadn't just moved in with his mother a week ago to save money. FML

I made an account because this is my FML and wanted to comment on all the questions and whatnot. My boyfriend and I had been having problems for a while now, but we just had a beautiful daughter 7 months ago, so we wanted to do our best to make things work. The place we were renting had been sold and we didn't really have the money to afford a deposit and rent towards a new place since I was only working part time due to the baby, so we moved into his moms to save up for it. When he told me he wanted to break up, I knew in my heart that it was the right thing. Forcing something that wasn't meant to be isn't the way to go. His mother is an amazing person and isn't forcing me and my daughter out, rather helping me find a better job, get my license, and generally get my life together before I move out. He is actually looking for a place to move out himself. And it isn't at all awkward between us living together right now, especially since he is in the basement in his own room and I'm in the room upstairs with my daughter. We are taking the mature route, trying to stay friends for our daughters sake, and there really isn't any bad blood between us since I knew in my heart it was time to split as well. although it wasn't the best idea to move in with his mother but there wasn't any other viable options. I'm just thankful his mother understands my situation and is doing what she can to help me get back on my feet.

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Moving in with mum for any reason is a big red flag in my book.

Did his mother have something to do with it? Timing is a bit odd. If I was going to break up with someone I definitely wouldn't wait until just After we moved in together, especially with a parent involved! That's just so much worse and embarrassing. I can only feel his mom didn't approve of you and pushed him to do it. It could be he'd only been mildly considering it before (though I realize that's not much better).

His mother does sound amazing. I'm glad she's helping you in your time of need. Stay strong, OP. You'll reap the benefits of overcoming this challenge in the future.

Just curious but what would you do if your ex had a change of heart and wanted to make things work? It sounds like a part of you would want to try for your daughter but the other part of you would be conflicted.

You and your family are more mature then most of the people I know. Your daughter will have a wonderful life!

If you'd been having problems for awhile.. And you knew deep down that breaking up was right... Then why have a child together? I get that you're on good terms and his mom is so helpful. But still.

Hey its OP, she is actually a very sweet person who is happy to let me stay til I can get back on my feet. My ex and I just had a daughter 7 months ago so she wants to be sure her granddaughter is ok. She actually wants her son to move out asap and is happy to let us stay as long as we need.

Work things out with him, maybe he was wanting you to give hints to him for marriage, or maybe he thought that maybe it be best you two get to know each other again to awaken feelings again

"Darling, I feel like we need to rekindle the passion in our relationship. I know - let's break up."

I'm tired of pieces of shit like this giving good guys a bad name. Sorry to hear.

Instead of "that would have been fine" maybe say "if that wasn't bad enough". I mean a six year relationship up in smoke? Even if it wasn't meant to work don't you think there would need to be a recovery time?

You guys might have some troubles but you sound like your being mature and good parents by putting your daughters needs first.
