I feel terribly alone and need life advice?

I feel terribly alone and need life advice?
Sometimes I feel like nobody cares about me, even though I make efforts I'm socially awkward and this makes it hard for me to connect with people. My parents were abusive to me and I just got through transitional housing for former foster youth last December, at age 20. Now I decided to move to another country with a man I thought loved me. We've lived here a year and now all my savings are gone, I'm taking out loans to pay 2k a class (international student tuition), and I have little choice but to stay with living with him (I'm not eligible to work legally yet, my savings are almost gone, and our lease is not up). I've already spent 16k on classes here, and since I had over 70 units to begin with those 6 classes would have been for nothing if I went back to the states and transferred to another college. Also I don't know anyone else here so if I left him it would be so hard having zero support to fall back on, like those friends & family you go to after breaking up.
The problem with my boyfriend is he's very unloving and is extremely boring. Everything I suggest for us to do together he doesn't want to do, then when I ask him what he wants to do he says he doesn't know. All he does is do Twitter and Facebook for hours on end, poker, and video games, and that's it. The only thing we ever do together is watch TV or a movie and make dinner. I can't really get him to do anything else, go anywhere. Plus it's a constant struggle to ask him to do his share of cleaning. I feel like a broken record, asking him to pick up his clothes and whatnot every single day. There's no romance anymore, and when I try to come cuddle him and spend time together he just goes on staring at his laptop screen and is indifferent to me. (he's 12 years older).

Most of the time I try to be optimistic and say I'll stay the rest of the two years and spend the $40k or so left to complete my bachelor's, and will stay in this relationship until I can work legally and eventually make enough money to support myself. But sometimes I break down and feel so alone and out of place, yet I don't want to go where I came from...

At least you've got a BF. Imagine living with Asperger's Syndrome, a DEATH SENTENCE that robs MOST of its victims of any chance of finding love. You should tell your BF that you don't think it's working out between you two and if he refuses to change, dump him. The fact that you found a BF means you can likely find another one.

This may sound crazy, and if you're completely against religion, you might not like this idea as much, but try praying to God and asking Him what you should do. If there's nothing else you can do, try giving a bit of faith to the unseeable.

You're problems are very first world problems, and I'm sure if you start thinking of positive things, you'll figure it out sometime. Money doesn't make the world go round, and in the end, money is nothing.

Please don't take any offense if you don't like my suggestion. I just merely gave advice that you are seeking. Might not be the right advice, but it's something.
