Also, block her on everything, especially "instant" communication like texting and facebook (those make it way too easy to send something one of you doesn't truly mean).
She will likely come back when times are tough, but not for you, just for the familiar support. [Reply]

Sorry to hear that, hombre.
Why is it that men are so much worse at dealing with breakups? Probably because we don't talk about our emotions as openly. We're more likely to internalize everything.
I was reading the other day that suicide rates for men are something like 3:1 as opposed to the rates for women. We joke around about pussification here on the Planet but maybe we should pussify our culture a bit more in certain aspects. There shouldn't be anything wrong with a man expressing his feelings and emotions. Sometimes a good cry is just what you need. [Reply]

Good luck man. For me, that chick married my best friend ~6 months after we split. Thank god I was able to use the buffet of girls at college to cope or I might have went the KC Native route. The guys who knocked them up were the only ones to survive the flip that switches in their heads in their early 20s, and that was probaly mostly because they couldn't afford to run away and guys with money at that age weren't interested in dealing with their heathens. Many of them are finally calling it quits now that they're in their 30s though, so who knows.
Fun world we live in.
Dad always said, "Tell'em all you love'em, but don't get married until after 30!" :-) [Reply]

I can't speak to the whole suicide thing, but the theory I have is that women deal with breakups better because they can get attention without trying. Its tough for a man to get rejected by someone close to them and then go risk it again with a stranger. Women however can go out and have someone flirt with them just for being there. It might not lead to love or sex, but it reminds them that they have options. You don’t see the guys who get all the girls moping over a breakup very long, and women without a ton of options take breakups as bad as anyone.
In my case I like to blame the booze and the hope that the relationship wasn't over yet. Once I was sober for a few days I realized how idiotic I was being. [Reply]

Yes and no. Women attempt suicide like 3 to one towards men last i looked. Men were twice as likely to do it.
