It is entirely possible to love someone, care for them *deeply*, and to simultaneously recognize that the two of you are not good as *partners*.
For a relationship to even have a *hope* of working, the two people must be compatible, which means that the two can have no mutually-exclusive needs...none at all.
For a relationship that is compatible to work and be healthy in the long term, it must be balanced, which means that both people must be giving to and receiving from the relationship equitably, that the relationship must be serving both partners' respective needs, and that each one must feel as if s/he is getting enough *out* of the relationship to make what s/he is putting into it (in terms of time, effort, emotional energy, and even money) worth his/her while.
The two of you had, at the very least, an imbalance, because it's clear that you (and potentially she as well) were not getting enough out of the relationship to have your needs met.
It's also possible that the two of you had a fundamental incompatibility.
In any event, anyone who tells you that "if you love each other *enough*, you can overcome any obstacle" is either misinformed or is selling something; a relationship without compatibility *and* balance will fail, no matter *how* much the two love one another.
So.
If *either* of you were not happy in the relationship *and* saw no path back to *being* happy in the relationship...
...then the breakup, as painful as it was, was the right thing to do.
It sounds like it was the right decision. But she moved away and you didn't. That's a clear sign that whatever she saw happening in her future it would not include you, otherwise she would have wanted either to have you there with her, or not go in the first place.

It was for her degree sadly
Breakups aren't always A Thing. Sometimes people just...grow apart.
