I think the thing to do is to move on with your own life and become a better person - the person your partner would be a fool to leave, as is often said around here.
That doesn't preclude working on the relationship or leaving the door open, like you've said, it just means you get yourself into a better place and start to detach from the relationship. This also means you're in a better place to be in a relationship if you manage to reconcile. You can work on your issues and improve yourself. And if you don't reconcile, then you're still in a better place to actually move on from the relationship, if that's what it comes down to.
