inlovebutstuck, you need members of your family, friends to help you by loaning you as much money as you can get for the next 6 months, after you've got 6 bank statements showing this large amount, then apply for your visa, wait til you have your visa and then pay it back, if not have you got a credit card, transfer as much as you can to your current account, and wait 6 months, when you've got your visa pay it off, but it means your paying interest
any chance of you getting a job, sometimes you'll do more for others when you have to (for your wife and bb) then you will for yourself.
some lucky few have a got a visa for their partner while on benefits and no savings, but many more have been refused.
