No, you are not authorized to work for anyone other than the H-1B sponsor. A new employer would need to file a change of employer petition to employ you under the H-1B. When you and your boyfriend marry, then you will get an EAD in 30 to 60 days after your file the adjustment petition. The whole process will take 6 to 8 months to complete.
