My partner has left our home. We moved together to a new place.

Partner hates it here and has moved back to our old town.

I want her to be happy, and wouldn't have ever stopped her doing whatever that took.

We're still together.

Our conflicting work schedules (mostly mine) plus distance means it isn't a case of being able to see one another weekly. I am used to having her here all the time. She worked mostly from home. She is a lot 'harder' than me, is happy, as far as she's concerned this is a solution, I'm softer and I miss her and I feel weird rattling around in the house on my own. I was quite tearful all day yesterday, although today I seem to be in a better mood. I just wish it could have worked, we'd lived together for 4 years ish, and now I'm alone, she's moved back to our old houseshare.

I'm not really looking for solutions to the situation, I know me and her need to work through that ourselves. But I would appreciate if anyone can give me tips to enjoy being alone or at least not feel so shit? We have a 'date' booked for a couple of week's time, but in the meantime? Maybe it might help others too. TIA :)

Just realised I was unclear! We HAD moved together to a new place and she hated it and has moved back to our previous place. That's what I meant.
