I have found that live play has helped my online game because it has taught me/reinforced
 
1) Patience
2) How to look for patterns/tells (timing, betting amounts, etc.) and see how the translate into the online world
3) The need to be constantly paying attention.
 
The only way I can see playing your boyfriend may have hurt your game is that may have made you feel that your game is actually better than it is and that may make you play a little trickier than your current skill level or style dictates.
 
I have been certainly guilty of that. When I have been on a heater and killing the table, I will find myself playing yucko hands that I normally stay away from (like 9 7 os, etc) once I get a big stack and more often than not, I lose a good chunk of what I earned. 
 
Once I realize what I'm doing, I just take a little break reassess and go back to how I was playing in the first place and that helps correct the ship.
 
Anyway, try and take a good hard look at your game. Sounds like you had some bad luck on the rivre, but it also soundsl ike you feel there's a leak in your game right now. Look at your hand histories and be honest with yourself. In time you'll be back to making some $$$$. Good luck!
