Advice ?

I need some advice....

My Boyfriend and I have been together for almost a year and we constantly get in arguments about money and other things. I want to do what is best for my baby boy but sometimes I feel like the best thing to do is to be a single mom away from the constant arguing and crying. I really don't need comments about "You aren't mature enough" or "That is why you get married first" because that isn’t true at all. I work full time and pay for my own bills and also my parents got a divorce due to cheating and arguments about money so not all marriages are the best thing for children.

It seems like he doesn't care if he makes me cry from saying certain things or doing certain things. He says it’s because "I cry all the time" which is true because I am not a violent person so the only way I get my feelings out is crying. I asked him to start helping me with medical bills for our child and now he wants me to cut down the appointments I have since it costs a lot of money, I don’t schedule additional appointments, I just do the ones that the doctor tells me to make.

I would just like some advice or some similar stories about this, I am going to set up relationship counseling and if that doesn’t work then I don’t think I can be in this relationship anymore. I cry myself to sleep a lot and feel lonely since we live in a different state than my family.

I just want to do what is best for my baby, I don’t want him to grow up around an unhealthy relationship and I also don’t want him to treat me the same way as my boyfriend treats his own mom.
