User Submitted Advice from a 21-30 year old Male Dear Visitor, I know exactly what you're going through. I am currently in a long distance relationship, also, and it has been causing problems for myself and my fiance. For a while, it seemed that nothing would fix our relationship and that we were whipping a dead horse. What fixed our relationship was staring us in the face, though. What she probably misses the most is you. When you were with her, you probably did all sorts of things together that she loved. Now that you're gone, that has disappeared. The answer is to find new things to do together. Since you can't take a walk together, sing together on the phone. Since you can't rub her shoulders, leave messages on her phone describing the things you love about her. I think you'll have to find your own things, since everybody's different, but that SHOULD start to bring you two closer together. I'm rooting for you. The Original Question and RomanceClass Answer
