    Do not use made up credit scores to factor into your decisions.
    It’s based on credit history and affordability. so yes he will be better than yours because he has no missed payments but all the debts will still show.

    And I am another one who thinks you should be paying both people’s loans off more equally. What you don’t want is for things to go pear-shaped again and split up and all his loans are paid off and yours aren’t.
    Hope for the best, plan for the worst.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    If a friend came to you and said:

    I'm deep in debt, partly because my partner didn't support the household sufficiently financially. 

    I've got a newborn baby, and when I told partner about debt they left. 

    We're back together but he added to his debt while we were seperated.

    We are now focusing on paying off his debt & preservation of his credit worthyness. 

    What advice would you give that friend and what would be your opinion of partner? 
    This sums it up!!
