What do you think is the leading cause of women deciding to end their own lives, and what can be done about it?

Sexual abuse? Mostly caused by MEN.

About 60% of it, yep.

Domestic Violence? Mostly caused by men.

Nope, it's about 51-49% split according to a 2001 CDC survey, where two-way violence is perpetrated a few % more often by men, but one-way violence is perpetrated 71% of the time by women.

It's weird because you say that all these news stories involve a guy, but statistically speaking that guy is more likely to be the one committing suicide, since 8/10 suicides globally are men. Depression and suicidal feelings are shitty, but blaming men is just silly. Suicide is far more complicated than that, and to say that people are usually killing themselves over something as trivial as a breakup is just trivializing the real issues they face. These are adults, not high-school freshmen.
