It was your "boyfriend" who denied you. It wasn't your home, it was his. There's a reason you weren't on the deed. He didn't want your money grubbing hands on his property. Domestic partner wasn't your title when he was alive, you were just a sex partner. He could have left you whatever he wanted to, and it looks like that's exactly what he did. He made his feelings about you perfectly clear. Trying to claim otherwise is just you being a gold digger. So get off your high horse, gold digger, and quit your whining, Neither I, his family, nor society determined what you got of his possessions. Your "boyfriend" left you exactly what he wanted you to have of his... nothing.
