Yes, she has rights and you don't. And he doesn't need her consent. He can file and the judge can grant a divorce after trial. My guess is he doesn't want to get divorced so he has an excuse to not make a commitment to you.

There will be a division of property. Your boyfriend will argue that it should only divide property while they were living together.

She doesn't have to give him a divorce. He can file and get one without her permission.
