writes: My partner is in a lot of debt. Serious debt. He is close to losing his home, his car etc and is in a very bad place now mentally and emotionally. He is distant and is very snappy with me sometimes and he can become withdrawn. We have also had some problems in the relationship.I don't know how to act around him now, if I am cheery it falls flat, if I am withdrawn it causes problems, ifI make a joke he gets angry. I don't know what to do. We have been together three years and I am not going to leave him unless it gets really unbearable, at whch point its not. I just need some hits and tips as to how to deal with this and help him (without giving him money as I dont have any myself).

He needs the help of a good financial adviser. Some of the things you ve mentioned I can relate to. Is he a gambler, or don't you know why he's got himself in to debt. Debt is awful and all the moods and depression he is displaying is the bi product of it all. You need to help him get his life back on track then he can start again. There are options, like going bankrupt, but you do need professional advice, there is always a way out. Good Luck
