lilmiscassie92 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 So my boyfriend works 6 days a week, 10 hour shifts. He comes home to me every night, but I work early in the mornings so we only have a couple hours to hang out and then it's bed time for me. I'm a substitute teacher during the week and also have a part-time/as needed job on the weekends. The last couple weekends I wasn't working and I tend to get really bored once the chores are done. I don't have a lot of friends, and I don't drink or like to go to bars or clubs at night. I'm also kind of cheap/frugal, so I don't like to spend money. I live in Vegas, and I always get bored/depressed during the winter months because I can't find anything to do besides movies and restaurants (which I don't usually care to do because I like to cook and watch Netflix). It won't start warming up for at least a few months, but I'm soo bored! Does anyone who lives alone have any advice? Should I get a fish or gerbil? LOL Thanks in advance!
Brittney2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Well, IMO, regardless if you have this issue only on days off I think life is richer when we have things we do outside of the work/chores. Maybe you could look into getting some friends? Having a bf to do things with is nice, but we still need our "girl time" and personal time. Same way he should also have his personal time and "guy time". The only way that becomes excessive is when you guys only do things on your own, without each other. Why don't you try picking up an activity to do? Some people take a class, dancing course, bingo - because learning something new is fun, stimulating and you can get to meet people too.
