I had to tell me girlfriend last night I will be be breaking things off now instead of just before I go in the navy (Next few months)

She cried and I honestly told her I love her but that’s beyond the point, this is my career and I will not let a woman jeopardise it.

She said she could make it work whilst I was in there and I said no that’s not gonna be realistic. Also told her that the 4 month missions I will be on is too long to be away from each over and she was on complete denial.

Did I do the right thing? because I adamantly think I did tbh. It would be too naive to go into the navy with bare minimal contact with a girl I love.
