Telling my partner I lost my job after 18 years as a barista

My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as a barista. It has been weighing on me all week. I want a plan before I speak. What did you say?

Shame is common after a layoff even when it is not your fault. Saying it out loud to one person first helped me.

Do not wait until a bill surprises them. The longer it goes, the harder it gets.
