Telling my partner I lost my job

My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as an insurance claims processor. I worked as an insurance claims processor before this. I want a plan before I speak. What did you say?

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.

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