See my parents are deceased and I really have no one to turn to and I can't afford to live alone so I'm not sure what to do but I do know I wanna be happy with someone my own age. I need someones advice. Confused girl.

If you can pay his half as well as your own, you can get a smaller flat/apartment on your own.
Why stay when the love is gone?
Why string him along?
And IF you did sign a lease/mortgage together you need to find out how to get out of it. YOU are 28 years old, you better be able to stand on your won two feet.
I lived by myself from the age of 18 (out of choice) I bought my first house at 24.
Save up some money and figure out WHAT you need to do to be on your own.

whatever this guys faults, he does not deserve to be used and strung along because you are scared/too skint to live alone. you need to grow up and take responsibility for your own life, and maybe that way you can both go your seperate ways and find happiness elsewhere. you are obviously not happy, and neither is he, so dont drag it out for financial gain.
