Thanks for all your advice. I think with S away I'm a little scared of facing a long holiday weekend alone. I've got four days by myself which I've not faced in years. A couple of friends are away, my family are in another country. Closest and most supportive in laws are also not getting to be here. Crazy but I think that's why I was thinking of settling for second best and be W's BFF! I have the best intentions of trying to use the time for sorting out the house, box away the few things W has left etc. Maybe think over future financial arrangements(although it doesn't worry me so much, want to avoid finality for now), prepare a few meals for S, do some running etc. I was even thinking of going out for a drink in the evenings but I don't know why, after all I'm not looking for any sort of R at the moment and I've no idea what to do in a bar by myself watching groups and couples having fun.I miss my wife's female company and walking round shops seeing places we used to go kills me. Looking at couples in the streets and bars makes me want to go home but I can't spend four days shut away. I've signed for a guided walk around the town one day. I was thinking of texting friends who I liked but W fell out with but it has been a while and it might look a bit desperate . Want to GAL but this next days will be tough.
