'Give me money or i'll hurt you in some horrible way' - otherwise known as extortion. Sickening.
AL Bassninja, i know this isn't a solution but has your partner tried to go self employed? Most people have a transferable skill, and sole traders can set up for a small cost (dependent on business). My partner and i are both self employed, have previously been on PAYE but wouldn't want to again. We have greater freedom over our time and no boss as such (although i find time my boss now!).
Things can still be challenging though as work can dry up at the drop of a hat (eg. the beast from the east cost our household 6 workings days lost).
Good Luck
