I posted on here earlier about details of what goes on, now I am posting because we JUSt moved in together 3 days before he left so I feel alone since I was so used to him around. The ebst advice I have gotten is to keep busy, but I am still getting used to living alone, and am unemployed so I spend most of my time at the apartment we got doing nothing. Any suggestions, stories, or related experiences that will help me start getting motivated to get busier?
 
Job hunting takes up a lot of time. Start jogging, volunteer your time. There are a million things you can do. Living alone is rather nice. You always know where the remote is and if you want popcorn for dinner you won't get any blow-back. All kidding aside, if you want a healthy happy relationship, you need to learn to become comfortable with you as a person. You cannot count on anyone else to entertain you. You will always be let down and disappointed. Take up yoga or meditation.

Yes! My older Marine brother told me the secret of success at training. Keep your mouth shut and never volunteer. Otherwise do as your told quickly!
thanks
 
job hunting is a good start, this sounds like my life i moved in with my bf a week before he left, and it is very hard to get used to living alone i know cooking for one was weird after cooking for 2, i picked up a hobby of making purses and tote bags for military families and girlfriends out of old uniform for a small price and hero bags for fallen soldiers were free. so a hobby wouldn't hurt. just stay strong and keep busy. live life like you used to with your same routine. good luck to you i wish you the best
 
Check your local paper for events going on in the community. Go to the library.
Volunteer your time.
Call friends and family when you feel lonely.
Start a hobby.
Keep looking for employment. Do web searches. Go to an employment agency.
