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

loko0909 tells us more.

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.

That sucks. Do you have a friend or relative you could stay with?

I'm actually in the same boat on the license part. I'm 24 as well. Never needed it and prefer taking buses and trains personally. Or walking.

So, I'm 26 without a license. I havent had a need for one. I also have an 8 month old that I raise on my own.

Hold on, if you weren't living with his mother you wouldn't have cared if he broke up with you even though you have a 7 month year old daughter? My parents are divorced and I used to want them to get back together so badly, it was terrible. The amount of tears I must have made is probably substantial, and you would be fine if you guys broke up? This isn't adding up to me honestly, tell me what you guys think below ?

I think you need to see a therapist to work out the issues you have. A child having to go between 2 happy homes is much better than staying in 1 unhappy home.

I think it's even worse for the child if their parents for themselves to stay in a relationship they're incredibly unhappy with. My parents divorced when I was young and that saved us all the experience of listening to their hearts break again and again.

wow OP props to the mom. why did he break up with you?

well looks like he's going to save .ore money

living with one of the parents is always a bad idea. heard so many relationships end in break ups or divorce
