My partner is working, and enjoying it too. As I stated before life has become easier for both of us since he started in his job.
My partner is not straight, he is gay. Otherwise I would not have entered into a Civil Partnership with him.
My finances are fine thanks. I pay the bills I have always paid, and would have to pay whether I was living with a partner or not. The costs of bringing my partner to the UK have not been that high, and now he pays his own way, and contributes to the food bills etc.
I somewhat foolishly thought that I was not "telling the world" about my relationship, but sharing my story with an interested group on a forum which was appropriate. Naievely I even thought there might be some support to be found here.
For those who may still be interested, our relationship has required hard work from both of us, and we are both committed to continuing to work hard to ensure a happy and fulfilling life together now and in the future.
