Me and my partner live about an hour apart. Neither of us drive so we are reliant on buses and trains.
I think my fella finds it harder than I do, because I have kids and animals at home. Where as he is not working at the moment.
He has started volunteer work though to help him feel like he is being productive.

If you could set up a regular routine. Perhaps that would ease things over time.
It will take your subconscious a little time to realiseyournot being abandoned.

All the best, take care.
