Telling my partner I lost my job - first time posting

    I was laid off 18 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. Bills are coming up and I cannot keep this quiet. Did it get easier afterwards?

    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.
