The best advice I can give is to spend some time alone. It may be quiet around the house, but in my experience it's not a good idea to start looking for a new companion just yet. Internet, cigars and maybe a little wine are the best medicine for loneliness.

Been through it as well. Spending some time alone is the best idea. Don't get into another relationship for at least a year, maybe more. And the best thing I did for myself after splitting with my ex-wife was to go see a therapist. Really.

It's not an easy transition, even without kids in the picture. Just be careful, take care of yourself, and remember that just because there's no longer a need to justify your purchases to anyone else, you still need to pay the bills.
