I don’t process it until I feel safe so it could take hours or weeks or even months in rare cases before I breakdown. I breakdown and spiral hard so I have to make sure shit is at least somewhat taken care of before I allow myself to feel

I'm a month and a half out from the worst breakup of my life and I agree a little with the 'feel it later' part. At first I was in shock, then I was really angry for a few days, then I got really sad for around a week, then I started to alternate between angry and sad — a lot of 'how could she' and 'how am I so worthless' and now I'm mostly sad. I think about her all the time, I listen to the music she likes and cook her favorite meals. She always hated when I smoked so I've been smoking a ton.

It depends very much on the circumstances of the breakup
