My mom's advice to me; "You bought the graphics card to repair his computer that he used to create a secret dual life with on Facebook. You supported him, been giving and loved him fully, while he took care of his needs in secret. You are worthy of a better deal than you're getting. He may even still love you but he he wants you and his cake too, stuff it in his face and move on" I am taking her advice.

A breakup really hurts when it isn't your idea. You go through hell. But only acceptance can stop the pain and it may take some time to do it. It's just like living through a death.
