I don't think there's anything wrong with this.
Running the risk of being flamed, it sounds like you did the right thing.

You knew from experience that the relationship wasn't perfect, that you weren't made for each other, and you followed your heart. Yes, you timing was shit, but relationships end for all kinds of reasons, many much worse than this.

I understand your guilt and it must have been compounded by her suicide attempt, but that wasn't your fault. If she was a stronger, more stable person, she'd have done what you did and pulled through it.

The one thing I've learned through a number of messy relationships is that you've got to look after number one. If you're in a deeply committed relationship, the look after two. Kids, two plus more. But follow your feelings and be true to yourself.
