Like ripping off a bandage, DO IT FAST and decisively. Don't let them linger around until things get poisonous. Split the shit up and get it out, nicely if possible, sure.
And I actually agree with Crompsin, do not spend time with them for a good long while afterwards. If you start feeling mushy and relenting, instead call a friend who supports you. Make a firm rule to wait at least 24 hours before you contact them for anything, if necessary--often times you can work the issue out on your own.
Yes, like World's King said, do fun things. Force yourself.
Like ghoastgirl1 said, exercize. Nothing's a better sop to the ego than knowing you look fantastic, even if you don't necessarily feel fantastic.
My advice is coming from the side of the dumpee after a 15 year marriage (and 2 years together before that), so I'm in a slightly different position than you. But I think these things are still relevant.
