If you're in a clean environment you feel much better. That's actually one of the reasons hospitals use so much white and clean several times a day.

Your mom is right on. She hates gays and is crushed that you are not giving her grandchildren.

Well at least it would distract you, lol. Don't hospitals keep things clean because they're *hospitals*?

it's good advice! there are so many things in relationships that are subjective and complicated, and what's good in one breakup situation might not work in the next. her advice sounds a little snarky, but it would distract you, give you a goal, give you something to think about that isn't your partner or your breakup. it would give you a little time to wind down before you think about dealing with your emotions. the physical effort would get some endorphins in your body moving, too, and they really will make you feel better. plus... at least the house would be clean. :)

Your mother knows what she's talking about.

 i agree with # 4, 7, 20, and 2

****** your gay, you have no friends fight me nigga!::8;&;8:&:&;@":

Mom's channeling Birdie Draper in this one, but I agree. Focus on something mundane, be productive, work up a sweat, and let "the guy in the basement", as Stephen King calls it, process the breakup before you bring it to the forefront of your mind.

eh your mother was right, it does work. i tend to clean when im stressed though. not depressed.

definitely not FML. cleaning the house is good advice.
