Well, when I was about 15, I came up with the idea of the ultimate antidote to this: the breakup compilation.
Fifty of the greatest break-up songs of all time: the soundtrack to your divorce or breakup. For every mood from nostalgia to smashing the crockery. This is the compilation you have always wanted... but until now, it was unavailable. You have been waiting thirty years for this, whether you knew it or not.
At last, with the magic of the interwebs, we bring you: Classic Break-up Songs - the Ultimate Compilation.
And these last two for those messy break-ups where there is no hope of reconciliation...
And for when it has all blown over, and there's nothing left but nostalgie de la boue...
It seems like a good time to write this now, when I am happily and madly in love, rather than at the point when I actually needed this album to put on my stereo, when it would be too depressing!
More suggestions welcome!

Free As A Bird by John Lennon? - For when you've done enough wallowing and want to say "Yeah, this is okay actually. Bloody sod you, I'm going to be just fine."

Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart
"Once upon a time I was falling in love, but now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do... a total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life, but now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say... a total eclipse of the heart
Joy Division's classic
"Love will tear us apart"
When routine bites hard,
And ambitions are low.
And resentment rides high,
But emotions won't grow.
And we're changing our ways,
Taking different roads.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Why is the bedroom so cold?
Turned away on your side.
Is my timing that flawed?
Our respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal,
That we've kept through our lives.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Do you cry out in your sleep?
All my failings exposed...
Gets a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold.
Why is it something so good
Just can't function no more?
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear up apart again
Oh yes! I forgot that one - I think it was on the list for many years.
