Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Pennsylvania

I will be ending a 26 year relationship with my domestic partner due to infidelity on his part. When he moved in with me 26 years ago, he brought only his personal possessions (clothing, etc.). We were living in a house trailer my mother had bought for me before I knew him. Over the years we moved several times and of course, upgraded my furniture and appliances. Over the course of our relationship, he has at times paid 1/2, 1/3 or nothing of our rental and utility expenses. We now live in a house that was bought by him 5 years ago. It is in his name only as my credit was poor at the time due to losing my job and incurring medical bills I could not pay in the time frame the hospital required. I filed for bankruptcy at that time, which was the reason for the credit rating. Would I be entitled to a cash settlement from him in order to have the funds to replace the items I brought into this relationship (furniture, appliances, etc.)?

Not unless you had some kind of partnership agreement.
