My partner has been offered a fantastic job in Afghanistan and will be moving out there next month. I'm really worried about his safety and to be honest after going on google I am thinking of stopping him going. Just how dangerous is it out there?

That depends on a few factors, such as where your partner will be living and working (as the risks vary with the province) and the type of job/organization that s/he will be doing. People who work with NGOs are much less targeted than people working with private contractors and military Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRT). A lot may also depend on your partner's social and cross-cultural sensibilities.
Sorry if I can't give you a straight yes or no, but that's life in AFG.

I've been in Kabul since 2005. No more dangerous than any other war zone and not as bad as most parts of Washington DC, at least here you are allowed to carry weapons.

Depends where you are, what you are doing, what you look like, what you drive, ect. how dangerous it is on any one day.
