Telling my partner I lost my job - any advice?

    I have been leaving the house at the same time each day so my kids do not notice. I do not usually post, so bear with me. Bills are coming up and I cannot keep this quiet. How did you handle it?

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

    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.
