So my boyfriend/baby daddy doesn’t want me to have a roommate..

He says that if I do then I have to leave my daughter every night at his house bc he doesn’t want her to be around “random people” that aren’t his family ..

We broke up in may and I got an apartment and in August we were kinda working things out and I got an apt during our breakup bc I left his house ..

But I mean , the girl is my friend , we know her so she’s not random .. and he’s still NOT okay with it and I’m trying to explain to him that it’ll be convenient for me bc it’ll help me save like 450$ from a 945$ monthly rent ... but idk .. I also told him that id do what’s convenient for my pocket until the lease is up and that if he’s not going to help me then his opinion doesn’t matter.. so yeah

What should I do? Everytime I mention it to him he doesn’t like it and it brings tension..

Should I tough it out these 8-9months paying close to 1300$ a month for bills??? Or have that one girl-friend help me out
