hahahahahahaha
Seems exhausting :-)

I agree with #1 after that just keep busy and move on

lol true. There is no right or wrong way but dragging it out makes it worse.
Keeping busy, time and distance always worked best for me

How To Get Over A Breakup Lorelai Gilmore-Style In 7 Simple Steps
Lindsey Kupfer
August 17 Entertainment

Going through breakups are never easy, but everyone has his or her own method of moving on after a split. Some people bury themselves into their work, while other people hide and sob into a tub of ice cream (I am the second one minus the ice cream, plus several bottles of wine). Between watching Lorelai Gilmores relationships fall apart and her advice to help Rory move on, there are actually some valuable lessons we can learn from Lorelais coping/parenting methods with respect to getting over someone. Of course you have to keep in mind that Lorelai was always much better at doling out advice versus following her own advice, but isnt that how we all are?

Lorelais way of coping with a breakup may seem unorthodox, but she makes some solid points as to why sometimes we need to do weird things in order to feel better. On top of that, its better that we take Lorelais break up advice than Rorys. I love the girl, but Rory Gilmore is the worst at break ups. Did anyone else notice how she never moved on from any of the three guys she dated over the course of the show? Lorelai may have had backslides, but everyone knew she was going to end up in the arms of Luke Danes.

Anyways, we could all use a little Lorelai life lessons, so here is the Lorelai Gilmore guide to getting over a breakup. You'll thank me (and Lorelai) later.

Step 1: Break Up Box

Collect everything in your room that reminds you of the person and put it in a box (yes, even Colonel Clucker). Hide the box, but do not throw it out. According to Lorelai, it might be nice to keep and remember things when you arent feeling sad about it. So pretty much bury it in the closet, never to be seen until youre 100 percent over this person.


Step 2: Rent Bad Movies & Eat All The Junk Food



The next step to a Lorelai Gilmore breakup is to hunker down with terribly great movies (basically the Lifetime Movie Network) and a plethora of trash food from candy and chocolate to burgers, Chinese food, and anything else that you wouldn't dare test your stomach's endurance with if you weren't in desperate need of cheering up.


Step 3: Wallow


Probably the most important step is wallowing. You have to wallow, cry, and sit around feeling terrible about the whole ordeal before you can get better. You cant just go on acting like nothing ever happened, because eventually it will all catch up to you. Think back to when Rory and Dean ended things. You must wallow because if you dont, you'll probably kiss Chad Michael Murray and then wallow in front of him, instead.


Step 4: Tell The Gossip Chain


Tell the one friend you know will be the news bearer to everyone in town, a.k.a. your own personal Miss Patty, so you don't have to tell your sad break up story over and over again to everyone you know.


Step 5: Road Trip


Sometimes Lorelai doesnt follow her own advice, but occasionally when youre feeling very pressured, you just need to get out. You need to hop in the car and just drive somewhere, so grab a friend and hit the road. Lorelai would tell you not to bring a map, but you absolutely need to remember music. Otherwise youre on a road trip with no music, which is a fate worse than death.


Step 6: Call An Ex


I also never said Lorelai's guide to getting over a breakup was smart. Every time Lorelai breaks up with someone, she calls Christopher. Hes pretty much her I-need-attention-right-now kind of ex. I think most of us have that person and while its not smart, calling this person up actually might make you feel better. But whatever you do, dont call your most current ex. That move is more pain waiting to happen and is not Lorelai-approved.


Step 7: Sleep It Off



Sometimes you just need to lie in bed for a week and alternate between sleeping and crying, especially if this break up is someone you were with for a long time and maybe even thought was the one. Eventually you will get up, but why push yourself before youre ready? Also, you can find yourself a Rory to bring you food in bed.

Follow these steps and you'll bounce back just like Lorelai. And you'll get to feast on the best set-up of snacks known to womankind along the way. Win, win, win.

I think some would like to think so ... feeds the ego

I am not too sure about this box theory of her's. I wouldn't box stuff & put it away. I have throw stuff away & given stuff away. And kept gifts I really like.(Which is never much).
Jewelry.. I sold or gave away.

So what stuff is that lady keeping?
Is she not retuning his clothes or what?
