Hello internet parents

I'm (26F) and my (now ex) is (30M) we have been off and on for the past two years. We have broken up twice over multiple issues but got back together in March of this year. He stated that he needs more from me in an emotional and physical matter but stated it as "I want someone who is passionate and lively" when he said that I said maybe we should break up so he can find that person. He then got upset with me saying he didnt mean that he wanted someone else but that he wanted me to do more things. I've tried to be there for him more and do more things physically in the past but he doesnt recognize it as much as I do. When we were together, he would say that he felt unwanted and I would try to be there for him the best I could but it was never enough. Its hard because I dreamed of our entire future together but I dont want to give him empty promises if I can't hold up to everything he needs. He would get upset if I wouldnt do certain physical acts or initiate intimacy and would get "huffy" about it. I'm not sure if thats a normal reaction that happens in every relationship but I dont want to give up my happiness by doing everything he wants and then constantly be in a state of worry that he will leave if I dont. I just want your opinion on if I did the right thing by breaking it off?

Thank you internet parents ❤️
