Unfortunately the answer is "badly" in many cases. Guys tend to be less proficient at processing emotions in healthy ways. This is a generalisation but it is demonstrable and in part stems from how guys traditionally have been raised and the expectations that are placed upon us. This is evidenced by the vast majority of stalkers being male and the vast majority of ex partner violence being perpetrated by males. It should also be added that bad parenting and broken homes are a factor too.
