I know I love him but I need help

I've been dating this guy for 8 months. We met on Instagram so right now we are long distance. He is great and has so many great qualities. He is the first guy that I can be myself with. I love him terribly but something is off. I get annoyed sometimes when I talk to him, but I dont know if thats because I hate the technology aspect of it or because he truly is annoying (because in person its so much better). We have promise rings and have talked seriously about marriage. But anyway, I talked to someone I trust with advice and she mentioned the idea of breaking up and so I did. That was five days ago and my heart still hurts. She said I would feel relief but I dont. I've never cried so much over a person before. I'm afraid that if we do get back together, how that will look because my family doesn't think He is the right guy for me. Mind you though, I'm not super close with my family... I'm just scared that I made the wrong decision and what I should do next...?
