HAINES, Bankruptcy Judge.
American Education Services/Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (“AES/PHEAA”) 1 appeals from the bank ruptcy court’s judgment deeming the debt- or’s student loan obligations to AES/ PHEAA dischargeable pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(8). We conclude that, given the debtor’s income, his expenses, and the conceded economic relationship of the debtor and his life partner, he did not carry his burden of demonstrating that excepting his educational loan from discharge would result in undue hardship. Accordingly, we REVERSE.
