Telling my partner I lost my job, HR coordinator here

My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as an HR coordinator. It has been a long 21 weeks. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team. How did you handle it?

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.
