Break-up   Question 7/8 : You break up with your boyfriend and he walks out. How do you react (apart from the obvious)?  •  You can't let go. For months, you leave the flat exactly how it was when he was here: his photo on the bedside table, his things everywhere, your joint answerphone message on.  •  You 'tidy' everythihg of his into bin bags - clothes, books, DVDs, the lot - and chuck them out on the street. Then you start tearing up your photos...  •  You wait until you're feeling a bit brighter and then you put everything of his into a case, keeping just a few things to remind you of the good times. He'll come and pick the case up if he wants to.
