There are a few factors you need to take into consideration.

1) How big the town is, as I stated earlier. If I wanted to avoid for the rest of eternity Mr 33's favorite bars, I would have PLENTY of other places to drink.

2) Whether he and his friends still hang out there, and whether they're going to be jags if you walk in there. If you are going to go into a bar (when there are other options) and get nasty looks and comments, it's not worth putting yourself through it if there are other places to go.

Buttonz didn't really specify the situation, so I don't think you can just say "go in and get on with your life!" Everyone mourns differently, no matter the age or the state of the relationship (i.e. from dating to married). I would NEVER force a friend to go someplace that I don't particularly want to be just to "detox" her from it. What's the point?
