Telling my partner I lost my job - 9 weeks in

My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as a quality inspector. There are 13 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. Bills are coming up and I cannot keep this quiet. Did it get easier afterwards?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
