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.

Maybe you shouldn't be moving in together at all if you can't even afford to take care of yourselves financially? Your own financial stability should have been achieved before you moved out of your own mom's house.
Do you have to move out now? I'm real sorry
I think his mother might had something to do with that.. Sorry OP fyl
After 6 years together I'm surprised you hadn't passed more "relationship milestones". Generally moving in together doesn't count if it is a parent's house.
You don't know that. She could be a amazing person for all we know. We don't have the kind of intell to make conclusions like that.
Stay until you find a new place just to make things extra awkward for them.
Good. At Least you guys didn't sign a lease. That would cost you more money.
Breaking up with someone you've been with for half a decade would have been "fine"?
Similar thing happened to me. Boyfriend moved in when I went to college. I came home on weekends though. And then I moved out and got a job in another state for a few months. Then half way through he broke up with me. But instead leaving "him" without a place.

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