Tennessee - I think my situation is bad. My boyfriend is pretty wealthy and we have been together less than a year. We have lived together for about 6 months. When we met I had a lot of financial problems, and when he said he wanted to help I was so afraid of losing everything I had that let him bail me out. He paid off every debt that I had - which came to about $150,000 dollars. I want to make it clear that we ARE NOT arguing, in fact we are getting along fine, and for all I know we may stay together forever HOWEVER, last week we had a quarrel while he was tipsy and he said to me "you can leave if you want to but how are you going to pay me back". We made up but that planted a seed tht I am worried about now. I work as a project manager for his company, so I would lose my job, my residence and have no means of generating any income if he were to ask me to leave or I decided to leave him. My house (which he paid off) is where my 2 children live (19 and 24), although I do still have a room and a place there. My question is this. We never signed any contracts or paperwork of any kind, although it is obvious and documented in bank statements that his checks paid off my debts. Also, as I stated, we are getting along fine and may never part, but for the first time I am concerned about where I stand and whether he can almost hold me prisoner but threatening to make me come up with money I dont have. Everything he paid off is in MY NAME and has no tie to him at all other than the fact that he wrote the checks that paid it all off. Can he force me to sell my house? Can he take everything I own? I know he would fire me so I would be hard pressed for money almost instantly and I wonder what demands he could make on me financially in the absence of any agreement
