It's a bit unclear what the big problem was between the two of you--either you travel a lot or you don't live in the same town or you're just not really ready to commit? But regardless, you made the decision to break up with her.

She was obviously pissed off or wouldn't have text back something so short. Maybe because i broke it off or hadnt been in touch. I thought she would respect that.
What did you expect? There was nothing wrong with the reply she gave you--it's a pretty cool-headed one, at that. She wasn't disrespecting your decision by playing her game well.
Only you can answer why you chose to call things off. So the real question is, do you stand by those reasons or is there some reason to think things would be different when you came back to town? And if you know deep down that you aren't ready for whatever reason to have the type of relationship it sounds like she wants, then I'd say leave her alone. Good luck.
