A breakup is an understandably tough thing to go through for anyone. The effects of being dumped tend to linger for a few weeks, maybe even months, as you work out the best way to move on.
Some people go for the tried and tested 'drink everything in site and don't stop going out so everyone thinks you're having a great time' technique. It doesn't work, really - you just feel like shit after it and it's obvious to everyone that you're trying to find an answer to your problems at the bottom of a drink.
Other people go for the recluse option, hiding away from social activities and locking themselves in their bedrooms, watching reruns of Friends episodes, eating their mum's beans on toast contemplating where it all went wrong.

Another way is to find the funny side to the struggle. Often laughing at your own misery makes it less hurtful and means that it's not as painful if you've laughed or mocked yourself before anyone else.
This guy, Nick Lutz, tried very hard to see the funny side of what seems to be a traumatic breakup.
His ex sent him a letter to try and put aside their differences and get back together, though he wasn't having any of it. Instead he decided he'd critique her mail like a school teacher, giving her feedback and a grade.
The letter is out of context, but it looks like there was a lot of 'taking for granted' and some suspected adultery which drove the poor guy to ending the relationship.

He claims to appreciate the four page letter, though gives it a score of 61 out of 100, awarding her a measly D-.
His reasons for doing so are justified, as he feels that not enough evidence is supplied to back up the interesting points she raises.
His final paragraph of feedback says: "Long intro, short conclusion.
"Strong hypothesis but nothing to back it up. Details are important. If you want to be believed, back it up with proof.

"You claimed that cheating never occurred, but place blame on yourself - what for? Need to stop contradicting your own story and pick a side.
"While this gesture is appreciated, I would prefer details over statements.
"Revision for half credit will be accepted,
"Good luck."

His tweet showing off his teaching work has racked up nearly 50,000 retweets, as well as over 100,000 likes.
There is a simple fool proof guide to not having to go through any kind of breakup/heartbreak rigmarole similar to this:
- Never get in a relationship
Job done.
