I want to end my relationship but I am worried about the ‘cost of living crisis’. Can I afford to separate?

For most couples, separation has a significant impact on their financial circumstances. In the short-term, this can mean reduced monthly income, increased monthly outgoings and even moving home. In the long-term, this can mean loss of financial security (e.g. pensions).

This is especially true during times of economic difficulty. The current cost-of-living crisis is undoubtedly having an impact on a large number of families and the decisions that they make. We see increasing energy bills and food prices, decreasing house prices and rising mortgage rates. For many couples experiencing difficulties in their relationship, they may feel that staying together is the best and most affordable option for now.
