<human>: First post/time here so I apologize in advance if I mess up some of y'all's rules. 

My girlfriend and I had been together for 6 months when we broke up yesterday, or rather I decided we needed to. I'm 18/M and she's 17/F (obviously) we both met through after an school program and for the length of our relationship were happy together. 

The water gets muddy when it comes up that before we met I had already enlisted in the Navy to be deployed in December, I made sure she knew this from the beginning in fact according to her it was something that drew her to me. After 5 months together we got closer than either had really planned and had several talks about where we wanted our relationship to go. 

She wanted to keep fighting for it and make it work no matter the circumstance, I wanted to break it off while things were good and salvage a close relationship instead of dragging it out to the point we were bitter and hateful as I saw no way for either of us to be happy in any sort of long distance partnership in the end of all these talks we decided to wait and just give each other more time to think on what we really wanted. 

So yesterday I sat her down and told her I'd made up my mind and she cried and I held her and told her that I wasn't going to just disappear from her life that I'll be there for her in most anything she needs but with what is going on in my life I won't be able to be there for her in the ways a significant other should be, I told her that we are barely more than kids with so much more to experience in life and that I want her to find someone new that can be here with her and a bunch of other stuff that looking back sounds so damn corny and like a freaking hallmark movie. 

And so my ultimate question I guess is, did I screw up? Was she right and I should have at least tried to carry on our relationship? Or did I make the better choice for the two of us?

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: Me and GF of 6 months breakup on my decision because of my Navy enlistment and doubt of a happy and healthy relationship in a long distance relationship.
