Is 10+ years too long to wait for someone?

Honestly, bawling my eyes out at the moment. 10 years ago I met a guy (let’s call him) “Bill”. Bill and I have been talking and seeing each other on and off for 10 years. I’ve met his family and friends countless times. From what I know, he hasn’t dated anyone else when we were seeing each other (while we were “on”). I’m 31 now and I’ve been wanting to start a family. My family has also been on me to meet someone. In 10 years, Bill has never asked me to be his girlfriend. We are super compatible and he tells me he loves me and so on. 5 years ago I moved states, but I let him know I would move back for him if we could live together since my family had also moved. He said it wasn’t the right time because his mom was having health problems so he was living with her, but he never even asked me to move in with them (they have a huge house). His mom also loves me. We used to spend a lot of time together when he wasn’t even around. Tonight, I let him know that I will be distancing myself because I’m feeling pressure to start a family since I’m 31 now. I was hoping he would reply with something in the lines of asking me to be with him or move back or something (idk). This was his last reply and I knew I wanted to go our separate ways because I don’t see Bill proposing anytime soon, but I’m also heartbroken by his reply. What do you guys think? Did I do the right thing with ending whatever we had for something I want and he can’t give me? I guess I’m trying to justify leaving.
