<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

So I broke up with my girlfriend five days ago and can't get it off my mind and have been feeling regretful since. Looking for advice if I should talk to her about this and possibly try to get back together.

A little back story. We were long time friends (for about 6 years now) who dated for eight months a year ago but broke up amicably after we both had to move away (her for grad school, me for work.) Kept in touch. Two months ago I moved to where she was (many friends there, had always planned to wind up there.) We got back together immediately and things were good. A month later my father became terminally ill and I moved back to my hometown to help take care of him. We did long distance for a month and I broke it off recently. 

Mainly broke it off because I didn't know what else to do. She was saying (probably correctly) that I wasn't affectionate when we were talking on the phone etc. I didn't know if I was just losing the feeling with her or if taking care of my father was just numbing me emotionally. Either way it didn't seem like a problem that was going away and she was getting more and more upset. Had a big conversation about it and I wound up ending it. Now I'm thinking that may have been a panic move and or me not thinking clearly.

Also if we were together it would be at least 7-9 months long distance between my father's illness and some things with her.
I had a serious relationship go long term in the past and it wound up falling apart because of it, so I'm pretty wary of long distance in general. This factored into the breakup for me.
<bot>: regretting breakup, trying to figure out if it was the right thing to do or if my brain isn't working correctly right now.
