You could get into trouble IF your boyfriend now disclaims (or denies) that you had permission, then you could get into trouble, since you otherwise lack legal authority or right to use the card (you were not an authorized user). As long as he admits that he allowed you to use it, you did nothing wrong--it's possible that *he* violated some of the terms of usage of the account or card and the bank might have issues with him for not using it according to the agreement(s) governing it, but you would be ok.
