Hello all,
I have recently gotten back in touch with a long term (couple years) ex from 10 years ago. We were young, 19/20, when we dated. Above all else, we were truly best friends. When things were good, it was by far the BEST relationship I have had. (I have had several, and know what I am looking for now). When we're together it feels like it was yesterday that we dated. Not that its been 10 years since we were even in touch.
I am aware and have kept in mind the reasons that made the relationship fail the first time. He has grown up since then. I want to learn from the past, not forget, but move forward.
I am thinking about giving it another go, not because I am lonely, but because of the connection we STILL have, even after all these years. I know he wants the same thing.
Can an old relationship really workout for the long run?

Most people will say that an ex is an ex for a reason.
I believe in giving people second chances, depending on the reason for the breakup. People make mistakes. Some people can forgive. Some can't.
If, in the 10 years, each person has learned from his/her mistakes and has healed from the original hurt, then why not? All that can happen is that it won't work out, and that could happen with anyone - ex or not.

The odds in having a relationship fail because one person was 100% responsible is so flipping rare that I think you should do some soul searching here because based on what you have said in this thread I would say no, because you are not ready to take responsibility for your share in the past breakup.
