But towards the end of the relationship she started to pay less attention towards me and gradually pulled away. I noticed this but she said that she's too busy in her life to do anything about it. Then when we finally broke up she said that the primary reason was because of our age difference, with her being almost 10 years older then me, and me living too far away from her. If all those problems bothered her before then why did she continue this relationship for so long? I really do want her back in my life because she's such a special person and I don't want to let her go, is there anything I can do right now to show how much I love her and want her back or should I just give her space? I'm just scared that if I give her too much space she's gonna completely forget about me.

Hi that sounds really awful on you. relationship breakdowns are hard but we all finally move on. i guess your ex just couldnt cope with the strain of long distance as this can be hard to tackle. and as for the age gap i am a firm believer that age shouldnt matter. maybe you could sit down with a pen and paper and write all your feelings to her tell her you love her and reassure her that her age doesnt bother you and it shouldnt bother her, tell her she is special and tell her you love her and really dont want to lose her. good luck.
