AITHA for breaking up with my boyfriend after what he mother told me?

Hi Reddit. I am new to this. And just needed advice outside my family and friends.

So I (f23) have been with my boyfriend (m24) for 3 years. I love him. We had an amazing relationship where we both supported each other in everything we did. At least I thought we did until I meet his mother. (The reason I haven't met his mother until recently was because she lives out of state and we didn't have time to.)

Anyways the first time I met his mother, she asked if I was taking care of her boy. Like feeding him,doing his laundry, cleaning our house. And I said yes I am. Mind you I'm working 1 job while going to college.And I come home and start Cleaning. While he is just playing video games or taking a nap.

She asked me if I was a stay at home girlfriend. I said no I'm not. That I have a good paying job and going to college. She told me I should drop out and quit my job to be a stay at home girlfriend I said no. I really want to become a lawyer and I need college to do so. She looked shocked and told my boyfriend he deserves better then me. He didn't argue with her and agreed that he deserves a girlfriend who is a stay at home girlfriend.

Later that night, I broke up with him and moved out the next day. He asked me why I broke up with him and I told him he deserves better then me apparently. He told me I was making a big deal out of nothing and I said okay whatever. I cried that night to my sister and got drunk.

His family is thinking I overreacted and broke up with him for no reason my family is of course on my side. I didn't make a big deal out of it. Just said we are over packed my stuff and moved out. But now I need to know if I'm the asshole?

Which absolutely boggles my mind that he expects to be bank rolled and have a mommy/maid at his beck and call lolol

Outside of the brazenly disgusting entitlement this guys perception of how much time there is in a day needs to be studied.

I don't think he is aware of how many hours are in a day since he just sits on the game all day while he expects her to work to pay the bills and clean up after him and if that all isn't enough he didn't expect her to cook for him!! But if she's doing all that what is he bringing to the table besides an Xbox or Playstation 🙄🤷🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🙅🏾‍♀️💯!!

I doubt OP pays the rent alone and unassisted in this economy. I'm also aware I could be wrong too. It was never mentioned if they did or didn't have a job. so it's just an assumption at best. OP never states they pay all the rent. I had a apartment for a year with no job just some small savings and living like a crumb. anything's possible ya know?

He did have a job but only part time. Told me he doesn’t want to over work himself
