It’s a rough place to be: newly separated, divorced, or fresh off a breakup. You wake up with your mind already drifting back to her, second-guessing every text, revisiting the memories, and wondering if there’s a way to reclaim peace. That’s exactly where many of my clients have started before applying the hard truths and methods in Forget That B*tch: A Red Pill Guide to Breakups. When they commit to what the book teaches and use the companion 12-week workbook, they don’t just recover—they move beyond.
In this article I’ll lay out how the insights and strategies from Forget That B*tch can serve as a roadmap for men in transition. These are real principles I’ve used in coaching, illustrated by client stories (names changed). I write this from experience, not theory—because I’ve seen men who refused to stay stuck and emerged stronger.
The Brutal Wake-Up Call: Accepting the Decision
One of the first lessons in Forget That B*tch is that the person you were with made a decision. Your efforts to argue, persuade, or change her mind usually don’t work. Forget That B*tch doesn’t sugarcoat it—you have to face that reality.
Take the case of Daniel, a client in his late thirties. He kept trying to text his ex after their separation, to “clear things up.” Every reply, or every silence, would knock him off balance again. When he saw how Forget That B*tch frames chasing or pleading as a trap, he realized he was weakening his own position. The moment he accepted her decision fully (not just intellectually, but emotionally), he gained energy to redirect toward himself.
That acceptance isn’t a one-time event. It’s a daily discipline. The book teaches that the more you resist, the more you stay stuck.
No Contact Done with Integrity
Forget That B*tch gives a deeper take on the “no contact” concept—why it works, when to enforce it, and how to do it without breaking and resetting.
One of my clients, “Mark,” tried silence for two days, then slipped and sent a long emotional message. That reset the pain and confusion. But when he followed the book’s approach—establishing boundaries, cutting off communication until he mentally stabilized, and refusing to engage until he had regained calm—he saw how little her messages could affect him.
That break from contact gives you breathing room to rebuild your inner foundation. It’s not about punishing someone or playing games; it’s about preserving your mental reset.
Detachment Is Strategy, Not Indifference
Detachment in Forget That B*tch is not about becoming cold or unfeeling. It’s about releasing your emotional grip on outcomes and restoring sovereignty over your own state of mind.
I spoke with “Kevin,” who would oscillate between hope and despair depending on her engagement. The book’s models for detachment taught him how to stop hinging his emotional state on her reactions. He adopted internal rituals—journaling, reframing memories, reminding himself of his values—that kept him anchored. Over weeks he noticed that her presence (or lack thereof) ceased to destabilize him.
One line the book emphasizes is that she doesn’t get to control your emotional weather—not if you follow the process.
Rebuild Identity, Not Just Distraction
Moving forward isn’t about wiping the slate clean; it’s about reconstructing what you lost or overlooked. Forget That B*tch pushes you to reforge your identity around mission, value, and purpose, not around your relationship status.
One client, “Luis,” had lost himself in his marriage—his hopes, desires, even friendships had receded. After separation, he felt aimless. Using the book’s techniques, he recommitted to old passions and set micro goals in fitness, professional growth, and social contribution. He didn’t just distract himself from loss; he redirected toward new meaning. A few months later he told me he believed more in himself than he ever had before.
The point here is: transformation is not passive. You must rebuild intentionally.
The Mindset Reset: From Victim to Agent
Heartache easily turns men into spectators of their own lives. Forget That B*tch insists you must shift from victim mode to agent mode. That requires rewiring beliefs and narratives.
I had a client I’ll call “Ryan” who blamed himself for every failure in the relationship and replayed regrets daily. He used the methods in the book to challenge intrusive narratives—“I should have known,” “This is all my fault,” and so on. He replaced them gradually with neutral or forward-oriented statements. Over time, his mental loops quieted. He started seeing this moment as a pivot, not a disaster.
That shift matters: when you see yourself as someone who recovers and builds, your behaviors follow.
Use the Work, Don’t Just Read the Words
Reading Forget That B*tch is valuable. But real results show up when you apply it. That’s why the 12-week workbook is crucial—it turns strategy into practice.

Use it as a guided journal and action script. Structure matters in the recovery journey; random choices or half measures often lead back into old loops.
In my coaching I’ve seen men do the reading but skip the exercises—and they cycle back into pain. When others commit to the workbook steps—daily reflections, accountability, honest assessments—they tend not to fall back.
Real Stories of Breakthroughs
One client, “Jared,” came to me on day 10 after his divorce. He felt lost and hollow. He read Forget That B*tch in two nights. Using the workbook, by week 4 he began drafting a new vision of himself. By week 8 he began meeting new people and exploring new interests without desperation. By week 12 he told me: “I don’t hate her, I don’t fear the future, I’m just building.” He’s not “over” in some naive sense—but he’s forward.
Another client “Ben” was clinging tightly to the idea of reconciliation. He found himself texting, checking social media, analyzing patterns. The book challenged him: either step away fully to restore yourself, or stay stuck. He chose to step away. After six weeks, he caught himself one morning without thinking about her all day—and realized he had room in his head again.
These stories aren’t fairy tales. They follow the design built into the Forget That B*tch methodology—accept, detach, rebuild, transform.
Why This Approach Works When Others Fail
Many breakup guides focus on feel-good pep talks or coping distractions. Forget That B*tch is different. It demands confrontation—with your pain, your ego, your habits. It embeds accountability. It forces you to become the person whose inner center does not depend on someone’s presence.
Men who try “just moving on” without structure often relapse into old thought patterns. Those who follow this framework create a threshold—they cross into a new version of themselves.
The workbook ensures you don’t stall. The book gives you the mindset. Together they drive momentum.
Overcoming Slips and Relapses
No recovery path is linear. Expect moments where you scroll, where memory floods back, where old urges reemerge. The difference lies in response.
When a client, “Thomas,” texted his ex after three weeks, he felt the old shame rush in. But because he had worked ahead in his workbook, he recognized the slip, paused, and reset the rules rather than spiraling. He sent a short note apologizing to himself and resumed the process. He didn’t treat the slip as failure but as feedback.
The principles in Forget That B*tch help you build “elastic recovery”—you fall, you bounce back, you don’t collapse.
Walking into the Next Life with Purpose
Once you’ve worked through the process, the goal is not “never think of her again.” The goal is to walk into your next chapter with purpose, autonomy, and confidence. Forget That B*tch holds that your next move should be based on what you will build—not on what you hope to salvage.
In that space, you meet new people or future relationships from fullness, not emptiness. You carry forward lessons, not baggage.
That is the transformation I’ve witnessed again and again.
Your Next Step: Act Now
Reading won’t change your life. Action will. If you're feeling stuck, uncertain, or depleted, this is your moment to take ownership.
First, get Forget That B*tch on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F7GRVN8T
Then, pair it with the 12-week workbook so you don’t leave your growth to chance (grab it here: https://workbook.getoveryourex.us).
If you only read and don’t act, you risk becoming another man who keeps repeating patterns. Real change requires doing—journaling, resets, boundaries, mental repatterning. That’s how men who refuse to stay broken truly move forward.
Take that step now. Grab the book. Grab the workbook. And rebuild yourself on terms no heartbreak can ever steal again.
