Taking time to yourself and leaving relationships behind for a while can, sometimes, be a very wise move to make.
When my ex-wife and I split I found myself pretty damn lost. I got with her when I was young, she was the only thing I knew, and I really wasn't sure how life worked without her. I wanted more than anything to jump into another relationship and replace her with some other girl that could take care of me. I realized that was about the last thing I needed, though.
I took about a year to myself and really gained a good sense of who I am, and, more importantly, I learned how to be independent of relationships.
I didn't give up sex for that time, though...
