Should i break up if boyfriend's mom doesn't like me?

My long term partner of 4 years and I had a huge fight that lead to him threatening to break up. He's done it maybe 5-6 times over the course of our relationship. I'm very insecure about my age and my fertility.


I'm in my late 20s now, 3 long relationships later I've never been any closer to getting married and having a family. My relationships don't go past the four years mark. I thought this time it would be different, we really clicked but I was never comfortable with his mom. We had a really rocky start where she was really unhappy I spent too much time with him. That really made me questioned our relationship but I thought I could win her over. I never had problems with exes' mom's in the past. But she and I just never clicked, eventually we were civil. He has been trying to mend things ever since.
A few months ago we finally talked about moving in together and I was absolutely thrilled to know he had such a thought. We were long distance for 2 years and I thought this would be the much needed step for us. I asked him about marriage but he didn't want to get married until we moved in together for a while. But out of no where he damped that thought, he didn't want to go to inspections for rentals. Then it was radio silence on the topic.
In our recent argument (which I admit is partly my fault) he that lead to a break, he admitted his mom disagrees with us moving out together, she said its a waste of time and he's too young to marry. In the argument he finally revealed he wants to get married around 30. What made me upset was throughout our relationship he started by not specifying what he wanted and he kept coming up with these requirements that must be met before an engagement but they're always changing. I really loved him and I was even fine with waiting. What I couldn't put up with is his constant change of mind, his mom's opinions and threats to break up.
But I still think whatever choice I end up making I'll be regretting forever and I may never get over him. If anyone has any stories to share or advice please do. Thank you if you read the whole thing.
