    Are you renting or do you have a mortgage?
    If you go down to the woods today you better not go alone.

    So your partner pays £875 and you pay according to your SOA  £1275? There seems to be something wrong there.

    I am by no means an expert - for debt or relationships,  but is your partner on a similar monthly wage to you?  If he is earning more he’s going to have more disposable income than you.  In which case he should really be paying a higher proportion of bills.

    How long ago was your redundancy and how many of your debts have been taken out after it? 
    How secure is your current job?
