Did I choose incorrectly?

Did I prioritize money over love? I could really use a second perspective. I recently turned 35, just five months ago. The day before my birthday, I ended a relationship with the person I believed was the love of my life. The reason? He wasn't in a position to contribute financially to starting a family together. You might say I was facing a mid-life crisis. I met my partner when I was 29, and I’d expressed my desire to have kids, despite knowing he had a vasectomy. A year into our relationship, we decided to split the $8,000 cost for the reversal in Alberta. He has three children of his own—now aged 16, 18, and 20—and is ten years my senior. As a devoted single dad, he raised them by himself. He always told me how much he longed to have children with me, but he still had his own family to consider. While I have a stable career and felt financially prepared, he wasn't making the same effort on his part. We learned that the reversal hadn’t worked and were planning to pursue IVF, but the issue was that my partner didn’t have the funds for that either. So, just before I turned 35, I made the tough decision to break up with him. After three years of trying to conceive, it dawned on me that I was bearing the financial burden alone. Am I a terrible person for leaving the love of my life over money? Now, five months later, I find myself no closer to having my own family, and it truly hurts. I didn’t believe it was fair for me to shoulder the cost of IVF on my own; I wanted us to work together on this. Does that make me a bad person for prioritizing finances over love? After nearly five years of trying, I felt unsupported financially when starting my own family became a priority for me. I need advice! I still have feelings for him, but he’s yet to find the means for IVF. I know there are alternative options out there. I'm just hoping to figure out if choosing financial stability over love makes me a villain in this story. Has anyone else faced a similar crossroads?
