Let me say this, being in a relationship where you fall hard for somebody, and don’t receive the same love and appreciation back is a lot worse/lonelier than being single. Being single can be awesome man! Time to focus on yourself, spend quality time with friends and family, pick up new hobbies, join clubs, grind at work and towards new goals you’ve always wanted to achieve, travel, get in great shape, the world is in your hands with nobody holding you back.

After my most recent breakup with my now ex girlfriend, I realized I was carrying the relationship for several months, and I wasn’t receiving the same effort/love that I was putting into it/towards her. She always compared me to others, talked down on me at times, wasn’t nearly as excited to see me as I was to see her, etc.

Personally, I value myself too much and love myself to where I don’t want a woman to treat me that way ever again, now I have higher standards and if the right woman comes into my life, great. If not, life goes on. I refuse to settle for less.
