Don't know what to do with my boyfriend! Help!

I have an amazing boyfriend I've been dating for a little over 9 months. Up until last month things were perfect. But he out of the blue broke up with me, we ended up getting back together and I found out it was because of his nagging overprotective mother. Mind you i'm only 19 and him 20. His mom has without my liking become a part of MY life too. She wont let him spend money some days, she thinks he should stop dating me, she wants him to be home a certain time every night, and just today we planned an overnight getaway 4 hours away and of course she came in and said there's no way that will happen. Instead of him saying im 20 years old im going to go, he said okay mom. and here I am now writing this. It's the final straw. Shes been controlling our relationship for a year now and I need some advice on what to do. Quite frankly I can't deal with her anymore.

Please help me find a solution. I didnt sign up to date his mom.. just him.

Pro: 

I love him to death

He's my first everything

Very attractive

Spoils me

Kind

Listens to majority of what I say

Supports and pushes me to do better

Hard worker

Completely commited to me

He wants to spend the rest of his life with me (vice versa)

He would do anything for me (cosigned a car loan after 5 months of dating)

I'm crazy about him.

Con: 

Bad with money management

Spoiled

Anger issues

Tells White lies

I'm recently losing trust for him

Looks over my shoulder whenever I text. Doesn't trust me (but he's gotten better)

Let's his mom control every aspect of his life.

Doesn't spend as much time with me as I want

Completely scared to tell his mom no

His new job makes him tired,angry, and unavailable

No backbone

Smokes cigarettes

Stubborn

He hasn't been getting me involved with his hobbies like he used to.

Takes his mom's behaviour out on me sometimes

Makes me feel lonely.

Pro arguments

my personal view

talk to him and let him know that you need him to be stronger with his mother and to let his mother know that you are in his life now and you are the one he wants to spend time with. he should also reinsure his mother that you aren't trying to replace her but be a part of his family because of the love you have for him. I wish you the best of luck with this

I went through it 21 years ago.
