While you're "on break" is your chance to get your head on straight and put this thing in perspective. Follow the advice on the forum about meeting other women, finding other things to do, and in the process you'll get out of your funk. I'm sure there will come a point when you can face her without feeling pain. Especially if you've met someone else. Then you can hang with your friends again.
