Today, my boyfriend's mum begged me to stay with my boyfriend because she says I'm the only one who can actually get him through college and into a decent job. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend told me that my mom paid him to date me. FML
Today, my boyfriend just told me that his mom told him to break up with me, and that she would pay him to do it. His mom is a bitch. FML
Today, my boyfriend's mum said she won't stop us from seeing each other, yet she'll only allow me to see him for 30 minutes a day, for 2 days a week, and gets mad if he sees me for any longer, because "mother knows best." FML
Today, my boyfriend's mother who lives with us decided that since I work from home, it would be a good idea for her to stay home and keep me company. "Keeping me company" includes ordering me to make her food, gossiping non stop, and ridiculing me for not being the woman that she always saw her son marrying. FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's parents. We've been dating for almost 5 months and are extremely in love. His mom basically said to me, "I want what’s best for my son and you aren’t it." FML
Today, my boyfriend asked my father for permission to marry me. My father refused, on the basis that I'm the only person in the house with a job, and if I leave he will have to start looking for work. My boyfriend won't marry me without his permission, and my lazy father won't change his mind. FML
Today, I asked my boyfriend why he was dating me. He replied, "Well, there's not a lot of options at this college." FML
Today, I found out that, for over three years, my boyfriend has solely been dating me to get closer to my mom. Apparently, "she's a total MILF." FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's parents. Later on, his mom pulls me aside and tells me to back off, saying he will never marry someone like me and he should be with a nice girl like his ex. They broke up after he found her in his bed with his roomate. FML
Today, my boyfriend send me a text to inform me that his mother had told him that I was only with him for his money, which he got from his dad's will… even though we were already together at the time. FML

that's not a reason to stay with him, him getting a job in the future isn't your problem do what you needa do, OP

Common knowledge: The only one who can change a person is themselves. He'll choose what to do, regardless if you stay with him or not. Do what's best for you and I hope the best for him too.

Maybe you should breakup with him, but be there for him. He just needs someone to lean on.

Maybe this works for other people, but for me, that's only ever been a way to let toxic people keep some sort of hold on my life and my mind. This doesn't sound like the kind of guy who could handle an arrangement like that.

I don't know who and how your boyfriend is. But if you can bring out the best in a person, then I think you're awesome.

If it lasts to marriage this Shows she'll be all up in the relationship with y 'all.

OP it is entirely not your responsibility to make sure he gets a job or goes to college. What his mother asked you is selfish, it is up to him to man up, not you. You do what you have to do.

If you try to help him like that, eventually he will resent you and blame everything that goes wrong on you. ABANDON SHIP

Don't feel obligated to stay with him. If you want to stay, stay, if not don't do not let this make you feel like you have to stay. It's not really fair to either of you to stay in a relationship for something like that. Honestly I don't like the thought of a partner only trying because of someone. There's helping someone better themselves and helping them build themself up, which is good, but that doesn't seem like that. It doesn't seem healthy or fair to place all that on another person other than yourself. That's a lot of stress and pressure on someone.
