My boyfriend lost his job a couple of weeks ago.?

Question

not everyone knows yet and I haven't told anyone at work, has got to the stage where I neither want to or know how to tell them. I hate lying but also loath the though of explaining every detail and my boyfriend being judged (esp as the situationwasn't his fault). one of the girls at work is having a BBQ on sunday and me and my boyfriend are coming, they are gonna ask him about work and I don't know what to do! If a group of people know it's gonna spread to the rest of our small team and the thought of explaining things makes me frustrated. Don't get me wrong I am not ashamed of my boyfriends situation as I love him very much and will always support him but feel it's our buisiness

Answer 1

Hello I went through the same but my wife supported me just like you but if it gets out it maybe for a good reason I mean maybe one of your friends knows someone who wants a job and your fella can step in. It took me 12 months to find employment but I'm happy now but when I was at my lowest you find out who your real friends are.

Don't worry what other say or think you love your man right so that's important so if I was you I would go to the BBQ and have some fun you may not be able to go out for a while why he is seeking employment. If I can help in any way just make note of e-mail and drop me a message.

Good luck I mean it.

Answer 2

i was recently laid off from my job and it honestly wasnt my fault. I left the company a few months ago to pursue another direction in my career but it fell through as the company i joined went bust after a month or two so as i didnt burn any bridges at my old job they were more than happy to give me my job back as i was there for seven years before i left.
After 5 months back in my old job i was called into a meeting and was told that the company wasnt doing very well and they needed to make some cut backs and as i was the newest member of staff i was up for the chop ! I felt betrayed that the only reason i was fired was because they wouldnt have to give me any kind of compensasion pay as i was in a new contract of employment even though i was more experienced and much better at my job than at least 3 other people in my office. I was gutted and felt ashamed when i went home to my now wife and told her what had happened but she supported me fully and i know have a job which i enjoy and the company that sacked me im told is on the verge of collapse so karma has done me proud
! Bottom line ur boyfriend is gonna be feeling pretty sh.itty about himself at the mo but i found speaking to people about my situation helped a lot as various advice from different people helped my out lots . just give your fella all your support and dont let him get down in the dumps and things usually have a way of sorting themselves out . Good luck x

Texting is private and intimate. Texting is the perfect way to create a private and intimate world between you and the man or woman in your life. Learn here https://tr.im/CUhpL
For women in particular, texting can end up being a fun “game” where they can do or say anything (even things they would never do in the “real” world). Texting is non confrontational. Odds are your relationship ended on a heated note. I don’t know why you and your ex broke up, but there was probably at least one (if not a few dozen) big fights. Done properly (the way I’m going to teach you), texting is simple and subtle. You can slowly feed your ex tested and proven messages and ideas without the risk of either one of you flying off the handle, falling back into old and destructive patterns, and throwing plates at each other.

Answer 4

If your friends are the type of people to judge your boyfriend and kicking him when he is down instead of being supportive at this time then they are not worth having as friends. Go to the BBQ and hold your head up high and be proud of your boyfriend. x

Answer 5

Let him make the decision and if he wants everyone to know then the BBQ would be the best chance to tell everyone in one go - get it over and done with.
Being open and honest is always best, if it wasn't his fault you will find that people are very supportive and often mention things that will get him back to work.
All the best.

Answer 6

poor you, i know how you feel. Well babes youre dead right, its no ones business but you and your boyfriends. I know its kinda embarrassing to tell people you're out of work etc, even if it wasnt his fault - so why not tell a white fib. Tell them he couldnt stick working where he was due to the people/workload whatever, and say he LEFT,then just say he's currently weighing up his offers and deciding on what he wants to do next.
So you're fibbing a bit - who cares! It solves your problem and will prob save your boyfriend from feeling a bit embarrassed.

Answer 7

Ask your boyfriend if he wants people to know then all you both have to say is
"I'm/he's not working there anymore"
"If I tell you then I'll have to kill you"
"same old thing how's yours going?"

You don't have to explain anything first of all it's your boyfriends life not yours and secondly you only have to answer in general terms like "same as usual" or something like that & change the subject.
You wouldn't like it if your boyfriend was discussing your personal life with his friends so do him the same courtesy back

Answer 8

He can tell them his job is going fine so far but he heard from a very reliable source that there are going to be some lay offs any day now and everyone is worried that they will be laid off including him then he should ask them about their jobs. If they do find out he lost his job, they can chalk it up to him getting laid off like he told them it might happen.

Answer 9

a little white lie will not hurt have a discussion with your bf on what to say at BBQ in the event someone asked about his work,is no body's business but yours this is what your can say work is o:kay but we are here to have fun not to talk about work.so let's have fun.

Answer 10

You can always say hfe left his old job for the promise of a better one that didnt work out and that hes looking for something right now
Hopefully he was able to collect unemployment..
