Thank you for the reply. I feel like I've given it so MUCH time, now maybe it's time to take action.

New places always give us the fresh start everything will be new and exciting and therefore terrific, feeling. In reality it doesn't always turn out that way. You would still have to meet someone new, and you would have to start a new business or get a job.
I'm all for new adventures- this time I would be inclined to take some time and give yourself a cooling off period. Get used to the fact that your relationship is over, get comfortable with being alone. You don't want to run away because you're hurt only to find you're running to the same spot, you'll still be alone only the scenery will be different. Real life changes should be made for good reasons, a change can be good but not if you're running away from something or simply hoping the move will bring wonderful things to you. There has to be a concrete reason behind the change, that way the move will be fulfilling even if you don't meet anyone for the next three years and end up waiting tables for a living.
Everything stays the same: Why? Can't you change how you interact with people, places you go, hobbies you start etc. If all you want is a change do things you haven't done yet- there are zillions, go to the library, join clubs, do volunteer work, in short meet people you haven't met yet, get yourself a different life style from the one you have now. After you feel better about the loss of your relationship and you still feel like moving I'd say go for it. Right now I think you need some time.
