Why do most men lack emotional intelligence?
Like seriously. Everytime someone ghosted me, I'd just go to the club and usually leave with a phone number. Always had a good time though.

I agree reasonable people just move forward to the next thing, but we aren't all still of clubbing age, and internet dating is shit.

Men will do anything but therapy
don't worry, the AI can do that badly too!
Surely, you can paint with a broader sexist brush.
I've been through multiple rounds of therapy. The issue is the quality of care available to anyone who doesn't have upwards of $100 a week (insurance only covers MSWs, and sometimes, you need a Ph.D. to really help).
This is a "good in theory, bad in execution" example. Absent any context whatsoever for where things went wrong, it's platitudes masquerading as an AI version of whoever wronged you.
I have a giant corpus of increasingly testy emails with my ex (it got to the point that actual conversation was impractical without the situation immediately escalating, so despite sharing a bed, we resorted to email), but I'm not feeding that to an LLM, and without that, there's no way to know to be able to say things like "I'm sorry I threw physical objects at you" -- which would be out of character for her in the first place. She has the ability of Trump to admit error, which is to say none.
I get the demand for such "solutions" but worry about the actual psychological effects. Turning abusive partners (or friends) into sympathetic characters who regret their actions has no basis in reality and could actually make matters worse.
I feel like a better solution is to get an AI SO. Shape them into whatever you like, don't forget it's still an AI, and get whatever comfort you need in the moment.
You can even have several at once.
