Ok TFP, we've been together for awhile now, so I bring to you now something of a more personal nature. My fiance and I just (over the last week or so, culminating from weeks and months of problematic miscellanea) had a meltdown. I think this is the final stop.

Background: we live together, have for about a year, have a dog and some other pets but no kids. We almost had a kid but I won't get into that. We've been together for five years, she was my first and I her's etc etc etc but we by no means have been together continuously, so there's been "exploration" on both sides. Almost anything positive and anything negative that you can think of in terms of relationship features we have been through and blah blah blah you get the picture.

So anyway she's quitting her job and getting the hell out of here. She moved with me when I came to TX for this job and this is the first time I'll really be down here solo. I'm not sure what single people do with themselves b/c I've not been single since I was in high school, except for a few months here and a few months there while in college. When I was single in college I just went "crazy" but now I have a "real" job, etc to think about and can't really do that.

So I put it to you, TFP paradise: what do single people do with themselves when they are not working? Puzzles? Television? Posting on internet forums? What? I feel like my life is about to get really boring. And I don't want that to happen b/c I'm already down about this (obviously) and I don't want it to prolong itself and manifest into depression. Help!
