Hey there, Seddit! I am posting from a sockpuppet account because I do not want the contents of this post to be associated with my regular Reddit account. And I need your help.

Couple months ago, I started a long-distance relationship (yes, I know) with a woman that I loved since the past year. Skype and webcams are a miracle -- we talked every day, and escalated pretty quickly to sex. Everything great, she fell in love with me really, really hard, to the point that she came and visited me (from the OPPOSITE side of the globe, and despite it being really hard to rack up the cash to do such a trip). And even before she came, she started getting the idea that we would be together forever, an idea that I liked a lot.

And when she was here, everything was absolutely fantastic. Three weeks of pure bliss, constant love declarations on her part, messages, her interest level was in the 90's (PDAs, her coming to see me / contacting me often, et cetera). The sex, of course, also fantastic; from day one, literally from her first hour here, we made love like rabbits. I have a hard time coming, but with her I can come. And she's multi-orgasmic, open to many new experiences, knows quite a few things, and moves her body involuntarily in a manner too delicious to express.

Now she went back. Things are not so well now.

During the first week or so, we went back to the old schedule of nightly webcam sessions that was working well for us, and we were deriving tons of pleasure. Then one night she could not come. Then the next day, after she was done, she cried. This followed by explanations that she needed me, that it just was not working out to play with each other if we could not be together, that every time she came she instantly felt sad because she could not hug and snuggle me closely for long periods of time as we used to do. In the end, even though she got very horny, she would not let herself continue.

So I decided to table the games, and bump my next trip up to see her (both to keep pressure off of her, and to give her confidence that we'll see each other again, because, you see, we've already agreed that, after the second trip, she'll move back with me to my country, and I am accomplished enough / have my life together to a point that I can make it happen).

So, no sex until she initiates it. Now, I do not see her receptive to discussing certain topics. Whenever I've tried to discuss the future with her, negotiate a schedule, get her interested, she balks. She's been depressed lately. Sometimes she would take offense or get angry at something I would say, and just shut down, not talking anymore -- trying to talk her through her feelings did not work, so when that happens I essentially let her be and not talk to her anymore. And, though it is not rare that I will find a little note expressing her love and her feelings for me in my Facebook or e-mail, I feel like the spark is getting lost / forgotten and her interest is certainly not as high as it was before.

What can I do to, at this point in the relationship, keep the interest up and keep the hopes up that we will end up together? I am looking for ANYTHING, from criticisms to concrete ideas to hypotheses as to why this is happening. My game does NOT WORK so well from afar, and eventually we will run out of things to talk about.

Please, Seddit, you're my only hope.
