I've been folowing this thread and my heart really goes out to you. Though I haven't been through the exact same thing, I know how nervewracking it can be to feel an imbalance in investment in a relationship, whether it is emotional, logistical, or both. I've recently brough an imbalanced relationship to a close, and am opening up to a new one, but not wanting to give too much of myself too quickly, it is a hard balance to find. I'm sure it must be vastly harder for you, only getting face time every few months. I know a bit about long distance too, and it is so hard to connect in all the ways you want to when you can't see the look in their eye, when you don't get to hear those little passing thoughts as you drift to sleep or over coffee in the morning. None of that is much help I suppose, just know I wish you luck, and I think one should never be afraid to ask questions or express their feelings once they have them sorted out (though I also agree with burningdesire that overcommunication before you sort out your feelings can just add confusion and distress). I started another thread that kind of spins off of this one about the commitment that tasks and expectations outside of play signify here, because it is something I've been thinking about too, but didn't want to hijack this thread even though it is kind of going in that direction. Best of luck to you, you're a smart and vibrant girl, you deserve all the happiness the world has to offer, and I've got a good feeling you might have found it if you're not afraid to just reach out and put your arms around it.
