Did I do the right thing?

Alright so I'm new to this forum. I just created an account because it seemed like everyone was really helpful with relationship advice. Anyway here goes. Okay so my girlfriend and I have been dating for about 4 years now. We're both 20 years old. We've been getting into a lot of arguments and there's a couple of things that have been bothering me about our relationship. For example, she doesn't want kids and she doesn't get along with my mom. These are pretty important things to me. So I went to her house tonight and told her that I wanted to sit down and talk with her. I basically said that there are certain things that I want out of relationship so I can be happy and I wanted to talk about them and see if she would consider having kids and makeup with my mom. I also said that if we don't want the same things that maybe it would be better for us to go our separate ways. As soon as I said that she said you wanted to break up, because "The guy I want to be with forever would never have breaking up as an option." I told her that I'm open to talk but I'm firm with what I want. I just left her house and I guess technically we're broken up. Was what I did fair? I don't feel like I did anything wrong but she seems to think because I considered breaking up for any reason that I betrayed her or something? Any insight appreciated Thank you.

You did the right thing.

 

You are also very, very young and will definitely mature into a lovely person who is worthy of finding a woman that will love and respect your mother and want children.

 

Give it a few years and don't rush. She just wasn't the right one for you.

Thank you CarrieT... I think I just needed to hear someone say that and get some sort of validation. It's so hard for me because she's the only girl I've ever known and loved, I feel like my mind is foggy when I talk to her and I can't seem to tell whether I'm in the right or the wrong.
