1 week until my wife leaves for Alaska. How am I going to survive?

Asked by tinyfaery (44107points) July 17th, 2009

We are not like most couples. We spend a ridiculous amount of time together and can only be out of each others’ company for short periods of time without missing each other terribly.

But that is not the only problem. She does so much for me, I am really uncertain about how I am going to get along without her.

1. She feeds me. I have a total mental block when it comes to food. At times, if someone does not put food in front of my face, I will not eat for days. Sometimes it’s so bad that I make myself sick. I cannot cook, so that doesn’t help. I burn things. And my wife already made me promise not to use the stove for anything but boiling water (in the kettle, not in a pot). She is already trying to figure out some way to feed me while she’s gone. Any suggestions?

I am the type of person that will sleep 20 minutes through my alarm. It eventually wakes me up, but 20 minutes can make me late. She always makes sure I am up. What to do?

WTF am I going to do with myself for a week? I am not a social person, by nature. The friends I have are friends that I know through my wife. Most of my time is spent with my wife. She is my best friend and my connection to the world. Am I just going to hide out in my house for a week starving and going in late to work?

Refer to this question for background.

I don’t need judgment; I need help.
