Look man, I understand how you feel and I'm not trying to tell you what to do or what to think..
If you are done, what now? What are you going to do to make it so your next relationship doesn't follow a similar trajectory?
If this is a learning experience, what have you learned and what do you have left to learn?
In your future, you are going to have a better relationship with someone than you previously had with your W. What is it that you are going to be doing differently that is going to be responsible for that?
