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).

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.

Failure to launch mission started.

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.

WOW. That's so cruel. I hope you can find somewhere else to live!

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

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.

His mother is awesome to help you out...hope all goes well
