Two weeks ago i ended it because i felt upset he was annoyed with me for falling out with his mother. I tried to at least discuss things with him but he put the phone down on me having shouted i did nothing but argue argue

 Forget about him - if he puts his mother first over you then he is a mother's boy still tied to those apron strings. It is ok to love and stick up for your mother, but grown adults should be able to balance their parents wishes against their partners. I dumped an ex-boyfriend who I lived with because his mother was Hyacinth Bucket (BBC 1 Keeping up appearances). I decided from the moment I met the woman that our relationship was doomed (she later wrote me a letter saying she hoped I died of cancer - lovely woman!)...having a mother in law like that would have been against my human rights! If your boyfriend is unable to do the balancing act between you and his mother...move on to someone who will put your first (at least some of the time).
