I ended my relationship and my husband is moving back to our home town over 400 miles away. We've been living together since I ended it but we decided it's best for him to go home where he can rebuild his life around friends/family.

I'm staying here because of my job, so I will be completely alone with no family or friends and I'm moving into my own place when he moves back home.

To make this even more complicated a friend from our home town reached out and we have been talking on the phone and through text for about 7 months. It's been casual conversation but I dont think I would talk to him for this long without having feelings. But I'm not actively seeking a relationship right now and I've communicated that to him.

I am constantly thinking about the situation and although I am confident I made the best decision to end my marriage I can't help but think about what my next step is in my life. Some of the internal struggles I'm having are:

Is it worth staying here if I get laid off long term due to the virus?

Would it cause too many issues to also move back home?

What can I do to maintain a daily routine while I'm out of work that takes my mind off being alone and makes me feel like I'm doing something productive with my time?

Is it too soon to talk to or get involved with someone or do I need this time to be alone?

Thank you for any advice!
