hope you love her, cause you're stuck with her now

Yeah, I was hearing patronizing/condescending too.

I started to draft a response back, but it got way too snarky and b!tchy.

The turning point was when I tried to sum up why he bailed...

I understand you didn't feel appreciated and loved right now, but I don't see how that translates into needing to end the relationship. There were a million unexplored options from talking to me, to retrouvaille, to couples therapy. Instead what happened was you set a test for me, didn't tell me about it, didn't tell me the deadline or what I was being graded on, then when I failed, you decided that was the death knell of our relationship.
