Breakups hit different for men. Whether you’re newly separated, divorced, or just went through a relationship ending you never saw coming, you know the advice out there usually falls flat. People say “just talk about your feelings,” “give it time,” or “go out and meet someone new.” But none of that really gets to the core of what it means to let go and move on. That’s exactly why I started sharing the lessons from Forget That B*tch. Because what actually works? It’s not just reading or thinking about moving on—it’s taking real action.
Why Most Breakup Advice Fails Men
Let’s be honest. When a relationship ends, most men don’t want to spend hours overanalyzing their emotions or rehashing things with friends. Traditional advice tells us to “open up,” but for a lot of guys, that just isn’t helpful. I’ve seen so many men stuck in the same place for months—sometimes years—because they thought healing meant talking it out endlessly. They needed a game plan, not another shoulder to cry on.
Forget That B*tch flips the script on what men are told to do. The focus isn’t about winning someone back or proving your worth. It’s about building yourself back up, focusing on your goals, and understanding what truly draws people together. When you shift your focus from the past to your future, everything changes.
The Wake-Up Call: Accepting It’s Over
One of the hardest truths for any man after a breakup is accepting that it’s done. There’s a natural urge to want answers or hope for another shot. But as you’ll find in Forget That B*tch, real progress starts when you accept what is, not what could have been. I remember working with a guy named Mark, who had just gone through a rough divorce. For months, he was convinced that if he just found the right words, he could “fix” everything. It took him reading the first chapters and then working through the 12-week workbook to finally see he was wasting time. Once he accepted reality, he started putting that energy into himself, not someone who had already made up her mind.
Moving On Means Reclaiming Your Identity
A breakup can leave you feeling like you lost a piece of yourself. The temptation is strong to replay every conversation or mistake, hoping to find that one thing you could’ve done differently. But as I’ve seen again and again, the key to moving forward is to stop looking backward. One client, Kevin, was obsessed with what he could have done to make his last relationship last. After digging into Forget That B*tch and actually using the workbook, he realized he’d given up his interests and even his sense of purpose for someone who never appreciated it. The workbook’s daily prompts helped him rediscover what he loved to do before the relationship—whether it was hitting the gym or pursuing a passion project. Within a few weeks, he was spending less time thinking about his ex and more time building a life that felt exciting again.
The “No Contact” Rule: Your Best Move
If there’s one thing that comes up constantly, it’s the idea of staying in contact with an ex. The urge to check in, send a message, or stalk her social media is real—but it keeps you stuck. The Iron Rule highlighted in Forget That B*tch is simple: stop trying to go back to something that ended. Taking a clean break might be uncomfortable, but every man I’ve helped who actually followed the “No Contact” rule ended up moving on faster. For instance, Jason tried to stay “friends” with his ex for months, hoping she’d see he was changing. When he finally committed to the steps in the workbook and cut ties completely, he started to see improvements in his sleep, focus, and self-respect almost overnight.
Why Obsession Is the Real Enemy
After rejection, it’s easy to get caught up in thinking about what you lost. But as described in Forget That B*tch, it’s not really about your ex—it’s about how the breakup affects your confidence and self-worth. Obsessing over someone who isn’t in your life is a distraction from what you need to do for yourself. The men who move forward are the ones who put their energy into new projects, their health, and their ambitions. When Tom found himself replaying old texts and pictures night after night, he started using the workbook to journal and track his habits. Within weeks, his focus shifted to what he wanted for himself, not what he’d lost.
Rebuilding Confidence Is Everything
One of the most important lessons in Forget That B*tch is that confidence isn’t about pretending you don’t care—it’s about building real momentum. Start by setting small goals, getting active, and doing things that make you feel accomplished. Guys like Daniel, who was coming out of a long-term relationship, often felt awkward at first. But he started going to the gym three times a week and made a list of things he’d always wanted to try. The sense of progress was real, and it showed. New connections, opportunities, and interests appeared once he stopped sitting around waiting for someone to text him back.
Getting Back Into Dating—The Right Way
After a tough breakup, dating again can feel intimidating. Forget That B*tch and the workbook don’t tell you to go out and date just to fill a void. Instead, the focus is on screening for real compatibility and being honest about what you want. When you finally do start meeting new people, you’ll find you have higher standards—and you’ll be less likely to accept behavior that left you feeling empty in your last relationship. One story that stands out is from a client, Mike, who had been divorced for over a year. Using the strategies in the book, he started seeing himself as someone who adds value, not just someone hoping to get picked. His dates went better, and he wasn’t worried about impressing anyone—he was just being himself.
Letting Go of Her Narrative
Another trap that keeps men stuck is hoping they can change how their ex sees them. The reality, explained throughout Forget That B*tch, is that you can change yourself, but you can’t rewrite her memories or make her see you differently. Men waste months trying to “prove” they’ve changed. The truth is, the most powerful thing you can do is stop caring what she thinks and start living for yourself. When you finally make peace with that, the relief is real—and it opens you up to everything that comes next.
Action Is What Changes Everything
If there’s a common thread among all the men who got results, it’s this: they did the work. Reading is great for insight, but nothing changes until you start taking action. The 12-week workbook is built to walk you through daily exercises, reflections, and real challenges that make a difference. Whether you’re lifting weights, setting new personal goals, or getting back out socially, it’s about doing, not just thinking.
Why Real Growth Requires Letting Go
You can’t move forward while holding onto the past. The strategies in Forget That B*tch aren’t about pretending nothing happened—they’re about using your experience as fuel for your next chapter. You’ll discover how good it feels to set boundaries, say no to things that drain you, and choose what’s right for you from now on.
It’s Your Turn to Move Forward
You don’t have to stay stuck. If you’re tired of hearing the same old advice and want a plan that actually works, start with Forget That B*tch and grab the 12-week workbook. Every guy I know who actually followed through with these steps found a way out of the pain and into a future they could actually look forward to. You can do this, too—but it starts with one decision: take action, and don’t look back.
