Unmarried partnership visa - financial queries

[Arial]

Hi there!

Thank your for reading or helping. I'm completely confused and annoyed since I wrote at least 1000 words already but had my accont banned and had to create another one.

Here it goes. I'm from NZ, 23 year old female who met a dashing British hunk who has brought me back to his area of Hampshire after living together for a year in NZ. Fastforward a year and a half I'm in this predicament.
My visa runs out in April, I'm on a Tier 5 mobility visa and I've decided to stay and go on a unmarried partnership visa.
Everything was fine and dandy since I thought I could work Oct-March on a salary of 18600 which would qualify for my financial requiremt and we'd be sorted, but i was told by my friend down the road that it has to be him making the 18600 but was also informed from someone else that we can cojoint our income.
I know you're thinking 'well tell your lazy partner to get a job and everything will be ok' but he joins the army in January and won't be making the 18600 in REMI for at least a year after training and he'll be chopping and changing incomes so I can't join our incomes if it hasn't been continuous for six months.
We're thinking marrige options as last resort but I'd like to keep that as a last last resort and I doubt it'll help us out. I've worked hard these past two years but we've extensively travelled Europe so we dont have the continuous six months with the same empolyer on our belt. Please can someone just shed some light. I'm feeling like I should pack everything up and go home. If you have no symathy I understand since I should've thought about it before hand but I really just thought a two year drunken madness in Europe then back home to NZ to study was my plan but things change! What is there to do?!

I explained it at the top. My first account was banned because of my IP address? I emailed the board Administrater but heard no answer. Apologies, I thought it would've been deleted with my account

Your account has not been banned. Admin email is not monitored and the moderators do not have access to it.

Your IP is likely one that runs on the O2 network, which means you cannot access on your mobile device (I have the same problem).
