Do any of the dash lights come on when you push the start button? If not, check the battery cables

The car lights up like everything is fine but when I push the start button everything shuts down momentarily but then lights back up like normal. Press start again it does the same thing again

Isn't there a sensor on the brake pedal that requires your foot on the brake to start? Perhaps he disconnected that.

The battery would be the most obvious place to look. See if it’s disconnected.

If your BF actually disabled your car to prevent you from leaving....then you should leave. Call an Uber, a friend or walk. I’d me removing myself ASAFP from any situation where my departure was being prevented.
