Hiding a layoff from the family, bad idea? - 12 weeks in

My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as a bank teller. I am in Toledo, in case local advice matters. I want a plan before I speak. Did it get easier afterwards?

Do not wait until a bill surprises them. The longer it goes, the harder it gets.

I told my partner the same evening with a simple plan: what happened, what I was doing and what I needed. It was a relief.
