What has my partner got to do with it?
Comments

This has been answered lots of times already the OP herself admits to being in a relationship and living as HAW because she calls him her partner, not flat mate or friend but "partner"
Maybe not what anyone else calls a relationship but officially it is a relationship and the rules as such apply.
I totally agree with this. If the person in question is someone you go on dates with (or even sleep with occasionally) then why describe him as a partner?0 -
I'm pretty sure even if the OP described him as her boyfriend that would still get the same response?This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

There's an enormous difference between " my boyfriend and I rent rooms in a shared house" and "my partner and I live together"!0 -
There is? Sorry, I honesty have gotten the impression from some posts on here that there wasn't, so i've been a bit confused! Ahh that's ok thenOldernotwiser wrote: »There's an enormous difference between " my boyfriend and I rent rooms in a shared house" and "my partner and I live together"!

If you are only sharing with friends, than you are not LTAHAW. My son can't afford to live on his own either, so shares with a male friend in separate rooms. Now if his girlfriend were to move in and sleep in his room etc, that would be an entirely different thing.(AKA HRH_MUngo)

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0 -
Well maybe it's the fact that we've emptied a bottle of Jacobs Creek Merlot between the two of us - but this thread makes me think that we're all going to hell in a handbasket!
Astrowife - by definition a "partner" is someone that you live with though not necessarily married to - but there is commitment.
Do you feel that there cannot be commitment without financial input - whether from the two partners or from the state? Is that what we have come to?0
