Exactly. I wonder if 'until then' refers to the period of short term pain between when you say goodbye and you feel better, or if it refers to the period of time between now and you say goodbye.
If it's the latter, then you're not being honest with yourself -- in fact, it IS worth trying to make it work any longer, at least it is to you, because you're still in it. There's some sort of payoff you're getting by hanging around. And you're making that payoff, whatever it is, a higher priority than your partner's and even your own well-being.
