Telling my partner I lost my job after 14 years as a quality inspector

My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as a quality inspector. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I want a plan before I speak. 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.
