Recovering from Heartbreak for Men: Real Steps to Move On and Thrive

When a relationship ends, it can feel like your whole world is falling apart. Everything you planned, hoped for, or imagined with her is suddenly gone. The worst part? Most men have no idea where to turn or what to do next. Too often, the only advice you hear is “give it time” or “just get back out there.” That’s not enough. You need a real plan and practical tools that make a difference every single day. That’s where Forget That B*tch comes in.

Why Heartbreak Hits Men Hard

After a breakup, men are left alone with their thoughts more often than not. There’s pressure to tough it out and not show how much it hurts. Forget That B*tch is different—it acknowledges that pain is real but gives you a plan for moving forward. You’re not just told to wait for the pain to pass. Instead, you get daily action steps that put you back in control.

I remember working with Mike, who thought he just needed to “man up” and forget his ex. Weeks passed, and he only felt worse. He started using the workbook, and for the first time, he realized it was about progress, not perfection. Each small step got him out of his head and back into his life.

The Importance of Accepting What Happened

The first step in recovery is accepting the end of the relationship. Forget That B*tch drives home that you can’t start healing until you stop trying to “fix” the past. Acceptance doesn’t mean you have to like what happened. It means you stop searching for a way back to something that’s gone.

One client, Jordan, spent months thinking he could win his ex back. He replayed every argument, looking for the magic words that would fix things. When he finally accepted what had happened, everything changed. The book and workbook helped him see that his future was still in his hands, even if the relationship was over.

No Contact—Why It Matters

No contact is more than just a buzzword. It’s a critical step in reclaiming your peace of mind. Every time you reach out, check her social media, or hope for a text, you’re pulling yourself back into the pain. Forget That B*tch insists that no contact isn’t about being rude—it’s about giving yourself room to breathe and grow.

Chris, for example, couldn’t stop himself from checking up on his ex. Each time, it hurt more. When he finally committed to no contact and relied on the workbook’s daily exercises, he found that the urge faded. His focus shifted from her life to his own goals.

Redirecting Obsessive Thoughts

It’s easy to get stuck replaying memories and wondering what could have been. The workbook from Forget That B*tch is packed with exercises that help you catch yourself in these moments and redirect your energy into something productive. When you’re tempted to dwell on the past, you can use the workbook’s prompts to focus on new experiences, habits, and goals.

One guy, Lucas, said the biggest shift came when he replaced his nighttime overthinking with a simple journaling habit from the workbook. Instead of going to bed feeling defeated, he started each morning feeling just a little bit stronger.

Rebuilding Your Confidence

A breakup or divorce can rattle even the most confident men. Forget That B*tch is built on the idea that confidence isn’t something you think into existence—it’s something you build through action. The workbook gives you a roadmap for small wins every day, which add up to a big difference over time.

Dan, who hadn’t felt good about himself in years, started using the workbook to set daily challenges. At first, it was as basic as making his bed or taking a walk. After a few weeks, he was setting bigger goals, trying new things, and feeling better about who he was becoming.

Discovering New Routines

Routine is your secret weapon for recovery. Forget That B*tch pushes you to fill your days with new habits—exercise, learning, meeting people, anything that reminds you that life goes on. The workbook helps you track progress and celebrate every win.

A client named Sam started volunteering and trying new hobbies after his divorce. He used the workbook to map out his week and make sure he stayed active. With every new experience, he found the pain faded just a little more.

Setting Boundaries for Real Growth

One of the biggest lessons in Forget That B*tch is learning to set boundaries, not just with your ex, but with yourself. Boundaries mean you stop checking her social media, stop replaying old conversations, and start choosing your own well-being. The workbook includes exercises for practicing “saying no”—to her, to old habits, and to anything that pulls you back.

Ethan, who used to answer every late-night text from his ex, finally drew the line. The relief was almost instant. He found he had more energy and focus for things that actually mattered.

Making Peace with the Past

Recovery doesn’t mean forgetting what happened. It means learning from it and moving forward. Forget That B*tch encourages men to take responsibility for their role without living in regret. The workbook includes space for reflection, so you can get honest about your story and use it to grow.

One client, Jay, struggled with anger after his breakup. The act of writing down what he learned helped him forgive—not just his ex, but himself.

Why Accountability Matters

You don’t have to do this alone. Forget That B*tch recommends finding people who will support your journey. Friends, mentors, or coaches can help keep you on track. The workbook gives you ways to track your wins and see how far you’ve come, even when progress feels slow.

Brian shared that having a friend check in once a week was the extra push he needed to keep going when things felt impossible.

Looking to the Future

The most powerful part of recovery is when you realize the future is wide open. Forget That B*tch teaches that what you build now is up to you. The workbook asks you to imagine what you want next and to take daily action, so the life you build is one you actually want.

Tom, who once dreaded waking up each day, now looked forward to his new goals and challenges. Every day felt like a step in the right direction.
