 I absolutely agree with Aunty BimBim... you MUST give your roommate several months notice, so he can find a new roommate. You need to tell him NOW! And then... let your boyfriend know that you will have to postpone your move-in date for several months. Do the right thing.

 If you and your housemate currently share costs, such as rent and utilities etc you need to give him time to find somebody else to share house with, or he could end up with a massive jump in living expenses.
One of the easiest ways to ruin a good relationship is play havoc with somebody's finances.
If you cant give enough notice (at least a few months) that he needs to find a new housemate I think you should at least ease his increased costs ie, continue to pay your rent for an agreed length of time.
You really should have given him some prior warning that you were considering moving in with your boyfriend.
