How do you all deal with the loneliness during separation? I'm fine the weekends I have the kids, but the weekends without them I get stuck in my own head. I'm trying to keep busy with home improvement projects but I'm hitting the end of my skills there. I'm about halfway through the separation, and I can't/won't start dating again until it's final for a combination of legal and ethical reasons. I also have deeply held religious beliefs, so drugs and porn are not useful suggestions. On top of all that, I'm still recovering my finances so any hobbies need to be cheap.
