I was laid off on Friday with little severance. This has been the third time in two years I’ve been laid off. The first time my husband was supportive, the second time he was a little more irritated. I’m mostly afraid to tell him bc he loves to bring up that I “can’t even keep a job” all the time although I am being laid off due to “budget cuts” or my position is “being dissolved” so it’s really not my fault. Any advice on how I should approach this? I do have several leads so I even considered waiting and seeing if I get an offer then I’d have a solid back up plan. Is this wrong? I have sooo much anxiety about this and it’s killing me but I mentally don’t think I can handle his anger or put downs right now.
Wanted to add my husband is not a bad person or partner. He’s just my biggest critic. I’ve hinted to him about a layoff coming and the company experienced one in May already so it really isn’t shocking this happened. This could mostly be stemming from my debilitating anxiety too.
