exhausted

'jaded' is the definition.
(exhausting is a kind of jading)

'former partner at german residence attends regularly' is the wordplay.
'former partner' becomes 'ex' (an ex-partner).
'at' says to put letters next to each other.
'german residence' becomes 'haus' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'regularly' indicates alternate letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
The alternate letters of 'attends' are 'ted'.
'ex'+'haus'+'ted'='EXHAUSTED'

'though they're utterly' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
