Telling my partner I lost my job (update)

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. I want a plan before I speak. Did it get easier afterwards?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.

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.
