Why do guys run away after a breakup? Yes I have told him to get out of my life, pretend as if I don't exist. and yada yada. But what I don't understand is, why would you run away from your ex? Don't you guys miss your exs? Don't you want to know how they are doing? aren't you curious just a little bit what they are doing, where they are going? who they talk to? are they happy? you know the little things about them. Do you guys run away because you love that person? or just plainly want to pretend like you two never happened?

In my case, with the few ex's I have, I've never wondered about them at all after we had parted ways - not missing them, not curious, not wanting to know what they're up to, etc. Especially in the case of one, where the split was a nasty one. I certainly don't wish bad on them, but at the same time, I'm going to be focused on what's in my future. They're moving on with their lives and I'm moving on with mine, simple as that.
I am still in contact with most of my exes. I try to keep my more recent ex at a distance, since I had grown quite a liking for her (especially after being together for two years :P ) and the break-up hit me without warning. I keep her at a distance because old wounds open up whenever I talk to her and it hurts to think about her with a new boyfriend. I don't hate her or anything, in fact I wish her only the best. That's my personal answer to this question.
they run away because breakups hurt and seeing their ex reminds them of the hurt, reopening the wound. It's sad, but life...
Probably not all, but mine did.
