Relationship Problem
So I am 22 and my Boyfriend is 24. I work ( only Saturdays) and I am in the process of applying to Master's Program. I don't make enough to move out so I GUESS I'm still under parent's rules since I live with them. My boyfriend is from the same area as me but he lives about 4 hours away from me because his work is over there so once in a while he comes back down to visit me and his parents.
Background on the relationship between mom and I:
My mom is the type who doesn't care. She sees all the negatives and never the positives. Because I can't go out I stay home while everyone works and expects the house clean...and I don't complain. One day I don't do it she comes home and yells and says "You don't do anything around here if I don't tell you to do something you won't do it" even though I clean the house everyday for the past forever. Even when I had a M-F job, she wanted me to clean the house When I got home at 8 PM. She always screams. One time she even yelled "I shouldn't have to come home from work to dirty dishes. I shouldn't have to wash dishes" and then everyone dirties them and repeat the next day. Spend all day washing and sweeping and mopping the mess they made. Another time we had a talk about depression in teens and stuff and she believes that kids of today don't have the right to be depressed because they have it all made...she included me as well. Yeah that's her.
Relationship problem:
When he is here I still struggle to see him because I struggle with my mom to give me permission. I still have curfew. This is the first time I actually get to go out with a guy or with anybody period because I never was allowed to go out to the mall with friends or the movies during middle school or high school years, but finally I can at least go out once in a while...somewhat. I have never been to downtown (clubs) and for the first time I rebelled (at 22 🙄) and didn't get home till 4 am and mom was PISSED...but I rebelled because I knew if I didn't do it, I never will get the chance to experience downtown. I Loved it by the way...it was like...a whole new world. Even though mom was pissed about it, I told her how much fun I had...but she didn't care.
Well now my boyfriend is asking me to go up to where he works with his parents for 2 days. Mom said no..of course. My boyfriend is pissed and he says he is getting tired of me not being able to spend time with him like I should. He said it has crossed his mind to leave me because...well...my mom. It breaks my heart. What would you all do in a situation like this?
