Dear Queenie,
My boyfriend has to travel a lot for his job and he’s away about half the time. When he’s home he spends weekdays with me, but he likes to spend weekends visiting his family or hanging out with his friends.
I know he isn’t cheating on me, but I get so lonely when he’s away and spending the weekends alone when he’s not, and he hates just sitting around home doing nothing.
Queenie, what should I do?—Lonely girlfriend
Dear Girlfriend,
Find part-time or volunteer work or take some classes to keep you busy during the week when your boyfriend is away and on the weekends when he leaves you alone. And as for the weekends, go with him at least sometimes when he visits his family, and find things for the two of you to do together at home or outside.
