Help for Men Who Can’t Get Over Their Ex: Real Steps to Let Go and Move Forward

It’s easy for people to say “just move on.” But when you’re a man stuck on your ex, it doesn’t feel like a choice. The late-night thoughts, the old photos, the what-ifs—sometimes it seems like your mind won’t give you a break. Maybe you’ve tried the usual advice, but nothing sticks. That’s when you need something different—practical steps and honest support that make a real difference.

That’s exactly what Forget That B*tch offers. More than just a book, it’s a wake-up call and a toolkit, built for men who are tired of being stuck. And with the 12-week workbook, you get a daily roadmap to turn intention into action—one step at a time.

Why Some Men Can’t Get Over Their Ex

There’s no shame in struggling to let go. Forget That B*tch explains how heartbreak isn’t just emotional—it’s wired into your habits and daily routines. The brain gets used to having someone in your life, and suddenly she’s gone. That absence leaves a void that’s hard to fill, so your mind keeps pulling you back, searching for comfort in old memories.

One client, David, found himself checking his ex’s social media every morning and night, convinced he’d see something that made sense of it all. Instead, he felt worse. Only after starting the workbook did he understand that letting go is about building new patterns—not just wishing away the old ones.

Accepting What Happened—Even When It Hurts

It’s natural to want answers, to hope for closure, to replay conversations and imagine different endings. But Forget That B*tch is clear: real recovery starts with acceptance. You can’t control her choices or rewrite the past. Acceptance doesn’t mean you have to like what happened—it means you’re ready to face the truth and stop fighting reality.

Nick, who had spent months in denial, realized that holding out hope was only keeping him stuck. When he committed to the workbook and its daily reflections, he finally started to let go of what he couldn’t control.

The Power of No Contact (and How to Stick With It)

No contact is one of the toughest steps, but also the most effective. Forget That B*tch is blunt—every call, text, or social media check-in is like picking at a scab. It only slows your healing. The workbook gives you daily structure, with prompts and reminders to hold the line, even when your mind tries to pull you back.

A client named Omar broke the no contact rule again and again, until he started following the workbook. He filled his days with new routines and soon found that the urge to reach out faded.

Replacing Old Habits With New Ones

A big part of not getting over an ex is about what you do every day. Forget That B*tch teaches men to take action—not just sit with their thoughts. The workbook is full of daily tasks to help you build new routines and interests, crowding out the old triggers.

Paul, who felt empty in the evenings, used the workbook to start small—cooking new meals, hitting the gym, trying new hobbies. Every day, the past lost a little bit of its grip.

Redefining Your Identity

A lot of men get stuck because their sense of self was tied up in the relationship. Forget That B*tch is all about rediscovering who you are without her. The workbook gives you exercises to remember what you loved before, what you’re proud of, and what you want from your life now.

Alexei, who spent years thinking of himself as “her guy,” found freedom in building his own routines. Each day he invested in himself, his confidence grew and the past faded.

Setting Boundaries for Your Peace of Mind

Setting boundaries isn’t just about blocking your ex—it’s about protecting your recovery. Forget That B*tch walks you through setting real boundaries with her, with mutual friends, and most importantly, with your own thoughts. The workbook challenges you to say no to old patterns, conversations, and even self-sabotage.

Serge, for example, realized every time he let a friend update him about his ex, it set him back. With help from the workbook, he learned to change the subject and protect his own peace.

Changing Your Environment

Physical change helps the mind move on. The book encourages you to shake up your space—move furniture, explore new places, build new routines. The workbook includes daily suggestions to make your environment support your recovery.

Viktor, who felt stuck in his apartment, tried working from new coffee shops and taking up weekend hikes. Each change was a signal to his mind that life was moving forward.

Letting Go of Regret and Self-Blame

Almost every man who can’t get over his ex struggles with regret. Forget That B*tch and the workbook teach you to be honest about your role, but not to live in the past. Forgiving yourself is a crucial step in healing and moving on.

Anton spent nights blaming himself for every argument. Through journaling in the workbook, he learned to see the whole story—not just his mistakes. That shift made letting go possible.

Finding Support and Accountability

Trying to do this alone makes everything harder. The book suggests finding at least one person to check in with. The workbook even tracks your weekly progress and lets you celebrate wins, no matter how small.

Ivan, who’d gone quiet after his breakup, started texting a friend each week about his progress. Even just having someone in his corner made recovery less lonely.

Looking Forward—Not Back

You can’t start your next chapter if you’re stuck reading the old one. Forget That B*tch helps you set new goals, make new plans, and build a vision for your future. The workbook turns ideas into action with daily steps.

Roman, who once dreaded the future, used the workbook to set new career and health goals. With each win, the memory of his ex faded a little more.
