Zakarya Rezaie, aged 29, was found guilty of the killing of Rabina Bibi, who was 35 years old.
She died after being stabbed at least 15 times in Foleshill, Coventry, in September 2007.
The court was told that Rezaie could not accept that their relationship had ended.
He received a life sentence with a minimum term of 15 years.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission pointed out significant shortcomings by West Midlands Police, which failed to respond properly to several emergency calls made by Ms Bibi shortly before her death.
Despite her pleas for help and warnings about the danger Rezaie posed, law enforcement did not send assistance until it was too late.
His conviction and the imposed sentence underscore the tragic consequences of his refusal to accept the breakup and highlight police failures that contributed to her death.
