I know what you're doing. You're on the cusp of learning how to enjoy living in an empty, lonely house. There are a lot of upsides to it, which you'll see in time. It is about to be a space that you alone control. You'll come to embrace it. Sure, you'll shed tears coming home the first few times knowing that she's not there and you'll shed some more tears waiting for her to walk through the door from time to time. But that passes.
I know our situations definitely stink, but the empty, lonely house is a huge perk. You can watch what you want whenever you want to. You're not stuck in some strange apartment you hate and you'll be at your most comfortable. And there are so many opportunities to GAL at home by yourself!
