Telling my partner I lost my job (Fresno)

My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as a janitorial supervisor. Any experience at all would help. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team. What did you say?

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.

Kids often pick up more than you think. A short, calm explanation helped mine feel secure.
