Do Men Actually Talk to Each Other About Break-Ups?
Men will talk about all kinds of things when no one is around to say "suck it up" or "man up". We're not going to chatter endlessly, but I've been a part of some pretty serious discussions about breakups.
Men are much more likely to kill themselves after a divorce, so IMO it's obviously a big deal worth talking about.
- Not just more likely, but 9 times more likely to die by suicide. Source:

In my experience, not really. There is nothing to say. I am not going to talk shit about them, I don't want to do that to a person, and I would wish they wouldn't do it to me. So really it's more of a, "yeah we split up" and then maybe a well that sucks, if you need to talk let me know.
In my experience my “friends” wait for me to break up with my girlfriends so they can get their chance with them and then stop talking to me. Then it goes sour and suddenly they want to hang out again.
So no, and I don’t have many friends any more.
