Siddhartha by Herman Hesse has helped me through a few rough patches in life.

Also, The Conquest of Happiness by Bertrand Russell.

William Glasser has some pretty interesting ideas on personal and group psychology that I've used in my everyday life.

Finally, everything written by Amy Hempel brings immense joy into my life. Whenever I am in an anxious or depressive state, her short stories usually help shake me of all that woes me (at least for the time I am reading).

While it isn't necessarily based on failed relationships, Bertrand Russell's The Conquest of Happiness will certainly give you a pick-me-up and help to fight the depression so that you can live for you. Russell is a wonderful philosopher, and this book has withstood the test of time. My mom read it so much that the book literally fell apart, so I had to get her a new one and ended up getting one for myself. I hope you try it. Life will go on, I promise. There are better things in store for you!
