It's true, it depends on what kind of breakup you had. My ex and I were together for three years, and when we split it was while we were both abroad and all the cracks that had slowly been appearing that I didn't want to acknowledge blew wide open. The thing is though, once I got over the initial hurt, I realized that a) I missed having him as a friend, and b) we really should have broken up way before we actually did.
It hurt like hell to break up, I don't think I've EVER cried that much in my life, not even when I found out we were moving to India my freshman year of HS. So I blocked him online and on Skype just to give myself some breathing space, and when I felt ready after about a week (I think), I started to write him emails, and a few weeks later (two, maybe three), I unblocked him online so we could start talking again.
The initial post-breakup period was rough, and it was a bit weird seeing him again in person over winter, but I dealt with it and moved on. I love the guy dearly and he's always going to have a place in my heart, but I'm not in love with him anymore. Still, there was residual sting for about a month or two afterwards that caught me offguard.
