Break Me Up Before You Go, Go
Marissa recently received a mass "we broke up" email from one of her friends. The girl explained that she didn't want to talk about it and that she wanted to tell everyone all at once so she wouldn't have to essentially re-live the experience over and over.
I can completely relate. When I was single and going through a bad break up, the last thing I wanted was to talk about it. Talking about it would only resurface the sad feelings, bitterness or drama; it certainly wouldn't help me move on! I just wanted to stay in bed for a day or two, let it sink in and eat all the ice cream the grocery store had in stock.
Many of my friends have the opposite reaction: The guy leaves and they immediately call the girls to come over with chick flicks and sushi. They're social relationship mourners. Marissa is the same way: "I totally want my friends around when I break up with someone."
Your turn...

It's been a seriously long time since I broke up with someone, but from what I remember I was the lay in bed, eat ice cream, and read a good book type.
For me, it depended on whether I was the one who got dumped or I was the one who dumped the guy: if I got dumped, I wanted to be alone, and if I dumped him, then I wanted to be with friends to celebrate my newfound freedom, lol.
when i got dumped, i thought i wanted to be alone, but my friends made up a song and dance about how much the guy sucked and how awesome i was. it made me laugh and feel a lot better.
lala, it sounds like you have some truly fantastic friends. :)
My boyfriend broke up with me about 2 weeks ago and it didn't hurt me at all. He broke up with me when we were having sex while he was inside of me. He told me we shouldn't see each other again and then he left. So I called up my best friend invited him over and asked him out. All I wanted to do was have another person to make me feel loved.
