I have woken up 3 times in the past week, twice tonight, without being able to breathe. I feel like my throat collapses and Im unsure if its me that is able to wake up on my own, or my boyfriend (who is freaking out) who wakes me up. Please if you have any information or thoughts it will be greatly appreciated.

Could be sleep apnea. Make an appointment with your doctor.

Do you still have your tonsils & adenoids? Do you snore? You may have a relaxed palate, and if that is the case when you lie down to sleep, it basically closes off your airway. Have your boyfriend listen to you when you sleep - if it seems like you are holding your breath, gasps and/or snores, or your rouse up enough to take a breath - you have obstructive airway disease - more than likely. To help you tonight - you need to sleep on at least two pillows, use a decongestant.
You could also be having gastroesophageal reflux - stomach fluids coming back up your throat - again the two pillows will help tonight, along with antacid, and not eating right before you go to bed.
It could be asthma or allergies, respiratory problems.
Most important-you need to go see the doctor as soon as possible.

You could have sleep apnea, this syndrome is a sleep disorder in which a person repeatedly stops breathing (apnea), or experiences shallow breathing for short periods of time during sleep. Its a blockage of the airway passage due to the relaxation and collapse of throat tissues during sleep. In other words you should see a doctor to determine if this is what you have.
