With the availability of texting and video conferencing, it seems that maintaining a long-distance relationship is simpler than ever. The time when long-distance calls had to be restricted is long over; they are no longer considered a luxury. 

We are no longer even in the era of waiting for our family members to check their email after work. Even while we are out shopping, working, playing, watching a movie, and doing much more, instant messaging keeps us connected to one another.

However, as anyone in a long-distance relationship will tell you, technology cannot make up for everything in a long-distance relationship. Despite the lack of constant physical presence, many long-distance relationships nonetheless appear emotionally challenging.

The OP of today's story is in a dilemma as she ends her long-distance relationship of ten whole years. It started with the fights, and the OP slowly started to withdraw emotionally before she finally broke things up over some ego issue.

Someone proposed marriage to the OP through her mom, and she accepted. Months have gone by and all the marriage preparations have been made, but the OP is now feeling confused.

Apparently, the OP is no longer angry with her ex, and after talking to him, she realized that she lost a person who loved her more than anything. 

The headline is a really complicated one but the story itself explains more

The OP broke up the relationship with her boyfriend over some ego issue. He cried a lot and tried to make the OP understand but she just wanted to end everything.

The OP's marriage is around the corner and her ex is insisting that she come back to him. His insisting actually made the OP realize what a blunder she has made.

Apparently, the OP's parents have spent a lot of money and her heart is aching

There's a summary at the end just in case you couldn't read the whole story.

Redditors headed to the comments section to drop their candid advice for the OP and we've gathered up some of them for you to read through below

The OP wants to know if her problem is really that severe as a Redditor says that it's way above the sub's pay grade

If the OP is unhappy with this now and goes through with it, she will be miserable

Seeing him as the better of two bad options and to avoid an arranged marriage

For this Redditor, the OP is stuck between a rock and a hard place

The OP should have given herself time instead of jumping into a new relationship

The OP's ex doesn't love her but loves the idea of having her, according to this Redditor

No one can guarantee that a long distance relationship will be simple; the additional distance prevents many things from being doable. You might experience moments of loneliness and sadness as well as a confusing situation.

The OP has found herself in a really messed up situation and we hope she makes the right decision for herself in the end.
