<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

Sorry, I'm new to Reddit so please bear with me:

I (22F) just broke up with my boyfriend (25M) after a year and a half relationship. Had its ups and downs like all relationships but mostly good. He taught me I could be loved and really did shower me with a lot of affection. (Had traumatic past; very guarded person so being in a committed rship this long was a big deal) Cause of break up: He had no idea what his future entailed. Told me he would not be financially stable, let alone secure in the next 5 years, had no idea where he would be.

Sure, you can say "appreciate the honesty" but this came up in a Big Fight (you know the kind) and after a year and half of him saying things like, "you're the first woman I ever loved", "I may not know much about my future but I'm sure about you" and talks of starting a family, this was startling. I'm a plans-sort of person, and have been taking steps to make room for him in my future so naturally this threw me off guard and eventually led to the end of the relationship because I couldn't reconcile it with the things I want: marriage and hopefully a child around 30. 

He's now on a year long trip in Asia teaching (something he's always wanted to do) and I'm in my final year of university in North America. And he's mentioned that after the year, with him ending his teaching stint and me graduating, maybe we can try again and I have been back and forth about it. Love is hard enough as it is, and I understand it isn't about the Right Person it's about making it work with someone. He's been good to me and good for me, perhaps I should just settle with his smaller (or lack thereof) ambition and try to make it work again?

So while I have been the one to break it off, did I make the right decision?
<bot>: Broke up with exboyfriend. Now questioning if I should retract since love is hard and it's hard to make it work with someone so you might as work with what you got
