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

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.

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.

this sounds like a bs story I hear alot of women lie about there men like this and want people to feel sry for them. if this is true I'm sry to hear ur going through this but if like all the other women I hear talk about there men behind there backs and lie for attention then I feel sry for ur man.
