I've done enough. Now he says he doesn't want his dishes. Then I say you deal with it. I'm so done and I'm glad. I will only forgive for my own peace of mind.

I think you have a really great attitude! Let him have the material things. It just shows his heart as well. Then you are justified in telling him to deal with the dishes as well! You let him off the hook in the sense of letting him go be his abusive self to someone else. You can walk away knowing you did everything you would want someone else to do for you. Now you are wiser and if you decide to pursue love again, you can avoid the qualities you saw in him and pursue more of the qualities you value in yourself.
