  Welcome to PC, deedee. Once again, I am in agreement with Seabirdanne - get an attorney immediately to advise you regarding the real estate, etc. In some states, having lived together as long as you have, "common law marriage" may apply which greatly increases your rights. I'm so sorry that you are in that situation, but I just have to say - if someone else can take him, then let them have him (and let the door hit him in the *** on the way out) and be thankful that it wasn't even further down the road before you found out the superficiality of his commitment to your relationship. That isn't what you want - you should never have to sacrifice what you truly want in a relationship in order to have a relationship with anyone. I know it's soooooo hard because you still love him, but give yourself the opportunity to find someone who loves you at least as much as you love them - what's the point, otherwise?
