I washed the darks with the whites :(
aaaand my boyfriend is ready to kill me because of this. He's allergic to bleach, so I can't do that.
Does anyone know any home remedies?
Lemon juice, baking soda?
Anything. I need to fix this lest he kick me out or break up with me, or something...
we're 23 and 28, not that it should matter...
Help, please...:(

You can use color remover. Or you can use shout. I did before. But then you have to rewash for it too work all the way.
But it this guy is ready to put you out over this break up with him.
He's 28 he can do his washing.

#1. Let him do his own laundry in the future. He's 28, he can handle it.
#2. There's a lot of non-chlorine bleach options out there.
#3. If he's the kind to kick you out or break up with you over this, you are way better off without him and be glad you learned it now.

Relax. I really think you're overreacting here. If you've told him the truth about the situation then he probably isn't going, "I hate her guts! I hope she gets away from me forever!" Relax. It's clothes. It's really just clothes.
The oxyclean stuff can really help if the staining isn't too bad. The sooner you can oxyclean it, the better the odds are that the staining will come out. Sometimes the stains are just too heavy and deep to bring out. That's just how life works.
Baking soda doesn't whiten clothes this way (trust me, tried it).
Bleach would turn them yellowish, depending on the stain (trust me, tried it).
And lemon juice probably wouldn't do much harm or good either way.
Try the oxyclean soak stuff and then go from there.
If the clothes are still stained then take a deep breath and reach deep into your pockets. Go out and buy him all new clothes. Replace what you damaged and apologize to him. Show him you've done absolutely everything you could to fix this problem. Buying him the new ones might be something you are thinking to avoid but don't hesitate to do it if the clothes are ruining. If your sweetheart had done the same thing and then went out and bought you a whole new light-colored wardrobe to replace those pieces of clothing you'd probably be pretty happy then.
Relax.
Deep breaths.
This is fine. He loves you. If this ruins your entire relationship then it's either because he doesn't care about you at all or because you didn't try to fix this problem at all.
In a year you two will just look back and giggle at your goofiness. Trust me. Things like this has happened to me at least a hundred times.
