You have not mentioned the place you were living. Probably it is India.

You are fully protected under the DVA and are entitled to same relief as are available to a married woman because your relationship with your husband's friend was legally a "live-in" relationship.

If you want to marry someone else, no body can stop you. But if you want stay in the existing relationship it is your choice. If you are just looking for maintenance and financial support. the man you have been living all these years is legally required to provide you maintenance.

You may take your decision in view of all these options.
