Telling my partner I lost my job - 20 weeks in

My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as a logistics coordinator. There are 8 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. Bills are coming up and I cannot keep this quiet. What did you say?

Kids often pick up more than you think. A short, calm explanation helped mine feel secure.

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.
