Ryan,
If you want to fly just for fun, there is a new rating around in the last year or so. Its called the Sport Pilot cert and if you have a drivers license and your FAA medical has not been denied or revoked, you are legal. No medical needed at all.
Plane has to be 1320 pounds or less, single engine, not complex (you know that all that entails) and no IFR flying. A Aeronca, Cub or T-Cart fits the bill just fine.
We have all been through bad times. If its bad enough that you felt the need to "head West" on your own, then please get some help and spend some time with friends/family. Aint no woman around worth worrying about if she is going to leave you in a time like this, so you are lucky that she is gone and infecting some other guys world.
Build your life back again and someday when you are in a new Porsche you will run into her. No need to say anything, she will realize that she is the one who screwed the pooch.
