I am so sorry that you felt this way and still feel this way. I wouldn't have broken up with your boyfriend though. If he really loves you and knows your situation (also that you are doing it for financial reasons) he would certainly have understood. I hope you have a lot of success in your studies and later in your job, so that at some point you can say that it was worth it
no, that wasn't me. i don't think much of cooling off periods, when you make such an important decision, you should think about it before you say it
