Dp and I are normally fine financially in that we earned a similar amount and spilt everything equally money-wise.
However, Dp has recently started a new job and isn't going to get paid until the middle of next month. He is also in the process of trying to set up a business and is building up a supply of tools etc that he needs for it.
He didn't realise that the pay date was going to be so far away (as he was expecting to get at least a part payment this month) and consequently after paying for some supplies and so on means he is very short on money this month and has asked to borrow £500 to cover bills and stuff until he gets paid.
At this point I have already lent him about £2500 to help out with the costs of setting up his business, which I am happy to do, but if I lend another £500 that brings the total to £3000 which seems like such a lot of money out of my savings and I would really struggle to regain this money if for some reason Dp didn't pay me back.
I do trust him to pay me back and he is normally very good with money, the job he's starting is much better paid that his last job so he will have spare money to pay me back although it might take a few months.
Aibu to be unsure? I have no real reason not to, I don't need the money myself at the moment as its from my savings and I see it as an investment in out future but its such a lot of money to me!
