How to Get Over Someone You Still Love: A Real Guide for Men Stuck in the Past

Love Isn’t Always Enough—And That’s a Hard Truth

There’s this unspoken belief that if we love someone enough, it should work out. But let’s be real—sometimes love isn’t enough. Sometimes you love someone who doesn’t love you back. Or they leave. Or they change. And you’re left with a heart full of feelings and no one to give them to. I know this because I’ve lived it. That emotional gut punch is exactly why I wrote Forget That B*tch—now available on Amazon and Audible. It’s not a book about pretending you never cared. It’s about reclaiming your self-respect when the one you loved no longer chooses you.

You’re Not Weak—You’re Wired

Still loving someone who left you isn’t weakness. It’s biology. When you fall in love, your brain builds pathways around that person. They become the source of your dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin. Losing them is like going through withdrawal. That’s why no amount of logic seems to help. This is chemical warfare. And your brain doesn’t know how to stop the craving. That’s exactly what I unpack in the early chapters of Forget That B*tch—how to rewire your mind so you stop chasing the ghost of what used to be.

Grieving a Future That Will Never Happen

One of the hardest parts isn’t even losing her—it’s losing the future you imagined with her. The vacations you would’ve taken. The house you would’ve bought. The family you might’ve built. And it’s painful because you’re not just mourning what you had. You’re mourning everything you thought was coming. That grief is real. But staying stuck in fantasy is like trying to build a house on a demolished foundation. You need to clear the rubble first.

Why Most Advice Doesn’t Work

"Just move on." "Focus on yourself." "She wasn’t good enough anyway." You've probably heard all of this. And none of it works when you're still in love. You don’t need hollow slogans—you need tools. That’s why I wrote a free ebook called Fine... Here's How To Get Her Back. It gives you real strategy on how to re-attract her—but more importantly, it shows you why getting her back isn’t the answer. It’s the red pill that breaks the illusion.

The Self-Respect Dilemma

Here’s something you won’t hear often: chasing someone who doesn’t want you slowly destroys your self-respect. You think holding on means you’re strong, loyal, or romantic. But what it really means is you’re teaching yourself to ignore your own worth. You’re telling your subconscious that you’re not enough unless she picks you. That’s why Forget That B*tch isn’t about revenge—it’s about re-centering your identity.

Your Heart Isn’t a Negotiation Table

If you still love her, I get it. But your heart isn’t up for negotiation. You don’t beg someone to value it. You don’t campaign for someone to choose you again. In Chapter 6 of the book, I break down how to stop being a salesman for your own value. If she didn’t see it, she’s not the one you should be marketing to.

The Real Reason You Can’t Let Go

Love gets sticky when it’s tied to unresolved trauma, unmet needs, or childhood wounds. You’re not just missing her. You might be reliving an abandonment wound. You might be trying to prove your worth to someone who no longer validates you. That’s deep work—but it’s crucial. And I don’t just drop you in the deep end. Forget That B*tch walks you through how to heal those deeper wounds so you’re not just coping—you’re evolving.

Stop Romanticizing the Past

When you’re still in love, it’s easy to only remember the good. The laughs, the sex, the inside jokes. But memory is selective. You’re probably skipping over the stress, the disrespect, the emotional withdrawal. In the book, I teach you how to tell yourself the full story—not just the highlight reel. Because you can’t move on from a fantasy. You have to remember the truth.

No Contact Isn’t Punishment—It’s Protection

Going No Contact doesn’t mean you’re bitter. It means you’re serious about healing. If you keep giving her access to you—through texts, likes, or "just checking in" messages—you’re basically staying in the emotional friend zone of pain. The book gives you the script, the mindset, and the strength to finally pull the plug.

You Can Love Her and Still Let Go

Let me say this clearly: You don’t have to hate her to move on. You can love her and still accept that she’s not meant for the man you’re becoming. That’s not weakness. That’s wisdom. That’s you learning to carry the lesson without clinging to the source.

You’re Not Moving On—You’re Moving Up

This isn’t about forgetting her. It’s about remembering you. The guy you were before her. The man you’re becoming now. The future you’re finally taking back into your own hands. Start with the free ebook Fine... Here's How To Get Her Back. Then grab your copy of Forget That B*tch. This isn’t about band-aids. It’s about building a life you wouldn’t trade for anyone—not even her.
