I just ordered a book called Things I’ve Learned from Women Who’ve Dumped Me on the strength of an excerpt published here. The book contains vignettes from a bunch of famous people about what they've learned from women who have dumped them. It's edited by The Onion's Ben Karlin, and contains bits from Stephen Colbert, David Wain, Dan Savage (who may have been dumped by a man, not a woman, but that is inconsequential), etc.

This part of the excerpt, though not one of the humorous parts, was particularly poignant in its application to the last long relationship I was in before my present one. I think she'd agree.
"[T]hough the heady days of falling and falling and falling in love were shrinking in a rearview mirror, there was still hope. That niggling itch that if you keep at it, persevere, it will come back. Maybe not permanently, but in waves big enough and frequent enough to make everything else worth it. I wasn’t ready to give up. And what came of it?"
