What do you typically do after a breakup?

Start masturbating again. And frequently.

Work multiple girls to the point where they're dying to fuck me, but then never actually pull the trigger on any of it.  ...I might have a problem.

Games are the cure all for me. Bad break up? Let's go kill some people in a safe environment like Counter-Strike. Someone die in the family? Resurrect them in The Sims! Dog died? Nintendogs. Alien invasion and you're enslaved? Gears of War. Lost your house and all of your possessions (except a computer!) well there's plenty of loot in Diablo 2.

It depends how bad the break up is. The last one I had I just immediately texted every girl I wanted to date and engrossed myself with all the games I hadn't had time for.

Masturbate. Which oddly enough is usually the cause of said break up.

@Kiera: Relax. I didn't say you were among them. Didn't even say they were hot.

My last breakup was a divorce. Want to know what I did?  Lost the house Lost the dog Lost the car Lost my job (took too much time off for legal appointments) Left the country to avoid alimony.  I'd like to know how she paid for that house without my income. Oh wait...it got repossessed seven months after I left. Hah! Wonder if that guy she was cheating on me with is taking care of her. What, he's in prison? HA!

Oh man not the dog :(

Both the wallowing and the fuggedaboutit thing.

I've only went through one real breakup. And I can't recommend doing what I did, which was leaving my job and college and spending the next two years barely leaving home, feeling sorry for myself, losing my faith in love and the humankind as a whole. Until I decided to stop doing that.

It seems like after every break-up involving someone I had truly loved, I go back to watching the entire Cowboy Bebop series. Once the final episode finishes, I feel a lot better.

Feel bad for myself and try to get over it, with a little bit of anger thrown in the mix.

I drink, a lot.

Oh man, i so hope you're just an invented character, because damn!  You hit all the bases.  

Go to the Giant Bomb forums and ask for advice.

I wallow, for long periods of time. I'm still wallowing. Poor me. 
Also,.... ah nevermind... 
(hmph)

FFUUUUUU, i didn't even realize it came out like that..... i'm not gay just for the record.

I dwell on the good and bad for far too long knowing that it only makes things worse for me. Helps me grow though.

Lover's End by Moon Safari was one of the major things that got me through my first/only break up. Although now I can't really listen to it out of context

I drink, a lot. 

F.
 
Go out with my buddies and drink.

@Fajita_Jim:  How does it work in your country ? how come the wife got the dog and other stuff ? isn't it suppose to be 50/50 or sort of ?

I have never been through a break-up, but there have been a couple of bad situations where I could pretty much see the end in sight. I did a lot of wallowing in self-pity and a lot of sleeping. Fortunately, things are still going pretty well for us at the moment.

@Fajita_Jim: Sounds like you have been though a lot of mess ... stories like yours make marriage sound like a burden.

Drink, Heavily. 
 
Well, it really depends on how serious the relationship was and therefore how attached I was to the person.  My last break-up ended a relationship of 2 years and there was a heavy helping of drinking and smoking to get me past it.

I guitar hero my pain away.

I broke up with my ex because she was clingy, childish, and crazy jealous. I'd been with her for eight months. The second she left the house, I played 4v4 Starcraft 2 with some friends and booked tickets to see Doug Stanhope. It was a swell evening.

Have a lot of guilt free sex.  A LOT of guilt free sex.

It was complicated. I'm soured on that woman but not on women and marriage in general. I would like to find someone again one day but it's not a priority right now.

Self pity!

My past 3 or so breakups were followed by MMORPGs. I hate mmorpgs but I have friends that play em and always ask me to start. Every time I've done this, I've stopped within a few weeks because. . . well, because I hate mmorpgs but for a week or two, it's a good way to just have something to do that takes up all your time -_-;;

Buy myself a new game and then go hit the town with the boys!

Masturbate. Cry. Masturbate and cry.

Drown in my own tears

Continue living my life... maybe vent to a friend.
