Commitments are possible without marriage, douche.
Anyways, I know how you feel Shintock. I used it as more fuel for my musical outlets. Nothing beats writing an original breakup song in your preferred style of music and driving around belting the lyrics like there's no tomorrow.
Also, alcohol will always be there for you. Drinking and singing that song you're gonna write is even better, but I don't recommend drinking and driving.
Things will look up, for now do whatever you possibly can to keep your mind off of it. Nothing is worse than picturing your ex with the other guy all day till you finally pass out only to have nightmares of the same thing (and it seems that much more real). I recommend music, starting a mmorpg and grinding like a mofo for a couple days, hanging out with friends (single friends, or friends who are willing to ditch their s.o.'s to hang out with you), drinking, sports of any kind (ski season, even sledding will do) etc.
Some people will say depressing music or music on the specific topic will just make things more difficult, but I find that singing along to songs that match my mood help me get over it faster.
Basically, get out and away. Writing may help or make it worse, depending on how you use it. If it's an outlet it will help, but if you just sit and brood over it while writing that's even worse than doing nothing.
