This is hard to define - there’s a lot of emotional/psychological abuse in this movie. While I don’t think there’s “forgiveness,” there’s not really a breaking away either.

NO! Patrick does not use drugs: SPOILER.
Patrick touches bruises on his inner arm from the night before when Tashi grabs his arm in his car the night of the hurricane!

It happens when Tashi is playing tennis at Uni and Art is watching her. I would say it's shortly after [SPOILER] she and Patrick have a fight. She goes for a ball near the net and her knee dislocates, graphic sound and very fast close up of the knee. She falls and screams in pain, but the whole thing ends quickly.

Tashi spits in Patrick’s face maybe half an hour towards the end of the movie (?). Patrick and Tashi are in a car at night, Tashi asks Patrick to pull over and she gets out of the car. He calls something after her, and she turns around and goes back to him. Look away for about ten seconds when this happens.

Patrick is seen scratching the inside of his arm at different points in the movie. At one point, it bleeds (quick and not too graphic). It’s unclear if this is self harm from nerves or something else, they don’t explain it.

Depends on what you term as a 'meltdown' - in tennis players are often known to be frustrated by calls/missed plays and therefore use aggressive language and will smash their rackets on the ground or objects nearby (no one is injured by this action in this movie).

The most explicit one is a kinda long sex/making out scene with Tashi and Patrick when he comes visit her at Uni, both still in underwear. The famous scene with the three of them is short and only goes as far as kissing and a bit of touching.

[SPOILER] Not crying but I would say that Tashi looks down on Art when he underperforms and doesn't want to continue playing tennis. In one scene he asks her for confort and the audience laughed a bit in my screening, but I don't think it is played as ridicule.
