Telling my partner I lost my job - 4 months and counting

My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as an administrative assistant. There are 5 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team. What did you say?

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

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.
