Hi all,
Just a bit of background to my situation:
I've been in a long distance relationship for 21 months. I'm from England and she is from The Netherlands. We saw eachother about 5-6 times a year for various holidays and getaways. I've also just finished my final year of university and the last 3 months have been incredibly stressful and difficult for myself, with revision, coursework and an issue at home. As a result of this, me and my ex weren't speaking over Skype or on the phone very much, and conversations each day were much shorter than before. This is of course my fault as I focused everything I had on my degree and not on anything else. Before that, everything was amazing, every conversation was great and the time we spent with eachother in person were the best days of my life to date (I'm 24).
However, she came over Tuesday for a weeks holiday, and on that evening she broke up with me, and is staying with a friend she knows not too far away. She said that the last few weeks haven't been the same and because of that we ended up splitting up. I knew things weren't great, and the week I had planned I was hoping would make up for that, but clearly the damage has already been done and I can't show her how much she means to me.
She flies back home on the coming Tuesday, and I've asked to meet up with her to discuss the above and other things, but said she'd rather not. In my mind if the week had just gone ahead as planned, old feeling may have been restored from her side, unless she had fallen out of love for reasons other than the lack of attention paid to her. She has gotten me through so much and I've always tried to show her how much she means, so for her to break up with me due to a few weeks over a 21 month period just breaks my heart even more, knowing it's a result of what I've done.
Part of me is saying to meet her at the airport and tell her everything there before she flies back, and part of me is saying to leave it (the former is probably from wathcing too many movies

) I'd feel much happier if I could say everything I wanted to say in person, regardless of the result and see what happens, but the fact she said she didn't want to meet up right now makes me believe it's more than the few weeks she mentioned, either that or she's still upset about the whole thing.
So I guess my question is how to approach the situation, specifically the airport part. I don't (and won't if I can avoid it) tell her over a message, and would rather do it in person if I can catch her before she goes. Or how to approach the situation as a whole (as it's difficult to read being a biased party).
Thanks all
