My boyfriend and I broke up ( 5 years being together ) long distance, I traveled to see him. For the past 2 weeks we have been arguing constantly all because I finally made friends, which I had 0 friends when I first met him. I was also homeless. But now that I'm trying to become a manager and studying to get my degree, and made a few friends along the way. He was getting upset saying how now he understands why his older brother doesn't let his fiance have any friends and saying how I'm ignoring him ( which I'm not ) gets mad that I take extra closing shifts or having to close more because I signed up for tutoring so I can pass my math so now I have to close more now instead of leaving early. His mom sorta gave me a subtle warning about him which scared me. I chickened out and said maybe it's best that we do end things. Even though he said it first. I just agreed to it.
Was it the right thing to do?

What I meant by subtle warning: he always gets cranky and upset and not knowing what's wrong with him he will yell and get mad without telling us what's wrong, his mom told me, " well at least you don't have to deal with this everyday like I do " and that scared me because he wants me to move where he lives, and he lives so far from my state ( 12hr 44 mins drive ) he doesn't want to move where I am even though he's not working due to his disability so I will have to drop everything and move wher

he wanted to control you. but since you're an independent woman trying to get a better future, he got super insecure and acted like that. i'm glad you're done with him. it's best to focus on yourself for right now and then when dating again you need to date someone who lives way closer to you, in the same city, so you can actually have a satisfying relationship
Yes he did show that kind of sign. I just feel so hurt doing it. I tried so hard to believe that he will change but all it did was get worse. I really wanted it to work out but I don't have family or friends where he lives. And if something happens I would be stuck trying to afford a home all by myself because everything would probably be in my name since he can't work.
And yes I understand. I guess I was just hoping it would work out, I believed that he was the one for me
I think you made the right decision.
