How can I move on in a new state?
My (second) husband, of four years, and I have moved to a new state.
He has friends and family here, I do not.
We just decided to divorce - he actually just left with his things 2 hours ago.
I mourn the loss of what we once had, but this has been a long time coming.
We will not be getting back together (no Taylor Swift pun intended). I love him, but will be much better off without him.
I do have a job, but no friends to hang out with.
This is a very, very small hick town, with literally NOTHING to do but drink or ride motorcycles (I do neither).
So I'm sitting here all alone on a Saturday evening with not a thing to do but watch tv.
There isn't even a bookstore here.
There are no museums, shopping plaza's (not that I have spending money), events, or activities in this area.
Short of watching reruns of "The Cosby Show" and "The Golden Girls", is there anything I can do - that does not include going to a bar - in a small town on a Saturday night?
All very good answers so far, Thank you all for your kindness.
However; I cannot move right now due to the fact that I have signed a lease and am stuck here for the duration.
Grandpa, Your assumption that the divorce was somehow my fault was sexist and incorrect.

First of all, take a step back and listen to yourself. You are probably an amazing women who needs a moment to herself. Instead of feeling bad, DO SOMETHING FOR YOU! Take a nice bath, read a book, and eat some good chocolate! However, if you feel like you need some human interaction head to a library or a nice cafe. Maybe take a walk and take some time to browse the internet and see what your small town has to offer, trust me something will be there! Best of luck to you!! Enjoy your night!!!!

Move. It's just that simple. Your a newly single individual, you do not need to be in a town like that, it will only depress you & make matters worse. Right now you need to focus on making more money, maybe getting a second job & moving. Living in such a small town you are bound to run into him eventually, & you do not want that. Right now you are in the denial stage, whether you believe it or not, soon your mind is going to get the best of you. Being lonely right now is no good. Go online to meetup.com & see if they have anything going on in your area, go to a local bar, have ONE DRINK & maybe you will meet a good girlfriend there, you never know!! Sitting in your house is no good! I really think moving is your best idea.

You sound trap in this small town. Have you considered moving out and back to where your family and friends are?
If not maybe you can look into doing community work or Bingo or even go Church. You did mention you have a job, maybe ask your work friends to hang? Invite them over for dinners?
