Telling my partner I lost my job - any advice?

My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as an office manager. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team.

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.

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