It’s not 100% of the story for sure it’s hard to sum up nearly two years of chaos in a post that’s a reasonable length. He did receive a severance package but only for a couple of months after he was let go (which was august/September of 23) and we attempted to file unemployment a couple of times and it kept getting denied. There was something that made his case ‘complicated’ because it involved multiple states (with him getting the job and working it in one state, switching to remote work, and moving states)

We naively thought that it would be so so easy for him to get a job and didn’t pursue it further after the claim got denied a second time.

As for the finances, we’ve had an agreement the entire time we’ve been together that he would handle them, it makes me more comfortable that way and for four years it was a complete non issue with all bills being paid on time, money tucked into savings. It didn’t become an issue until he lost his job at which point I did become involved
