Are we splitting up for the right reasons?? Part 2

[sair5412]

My mum and I struggle with our relationship and when we have argued I get upset. Paul shouts at me for allowing my mum to upset me and says she is wrong for how she treats me. I know he is only saying because I am his girlfriend and he must care but he tells me off for my mums behaviour. I would rather have sympathy and be distracted but we end up in a full blown arguement.
Then I have neither my mum nor Paul for any support! I have had minor health problems just recently and I begged Paul to come to the hospital with me as they were carrying out a small operation under sedation and he said no, he was busy with work and I'd be fine on my own. (this has happened on 3 occasions) I want a dog one day in my life and he said no absolutely not ever as they smell and make a mess.
He never does anything romantic for me and says I don't need it and he always thinks about me and he loves me but finds it hard to show it. I think he just can't be bothered! I just feel that I deserve more. My reasons for staying are, I have a roof over my sons and my head. My son has a father figure (he is very good with my son), I don't want to mess my sons feelings up by moving house and him not seeing Paul every night (normality), and I would have to go back on benefits as I could never afford a property in the village I live in. Most people still live with their parents or rent in groups and couples. Also, what if the person I want Paul to be just doesnt exist or I never find anyone?
