    what shall I do...?

    Ok well this is how started:

    well me and my SO met on Myspace(of all places...lol), she actually initiated the first message. Shes 25 and I am 26. At the time I rarely went on there, only time that I did was when I got an email about something. She was interested in my culture(native american). At the time I wasn't looking to get into a relationship neither was she. But we exchanged messages over a month or two, even tho it was about 1-2 messages a month. Which increased very rapidly afterward. Finally we exchanged IMs and started talking weekly if not almost every day, but we weren't looking for a relationship still(or atleast I wasn't, not sure about her), I know I liked talking with her. anyways this went on for about a few months, and we started talking more about our personal lives, as for me I am the kind of person that likes looking into the future and trying to plan that out. We would contact through Yahoo, MSN, Text/sms, and a good night call. That was all great
    I started falling for her. We then decided that we will try to be together and wanted to meet each other IRL. We made plans for meeting in January of this year, although that went out the door cause of cost and low money on my side(I am going to her the first time). So we planned another visit for the end of my first semester in school. but then we had issues of communication just after that(she has a daughter that is just in kindergarden), she then said that we should wait until summer. I agreed with that, just meant could save more and stay longer since I would have a couple weeks off from school.
    Since about December I had a phone so that could talk with her as much as possible, even when not near a computer myself. but ever since her daughter has been in school, she hasn't messaged me as much as we used to. I do know that she was busy with getting her daughter in school, but that didn't mean the morning/evening texts or calls had to stop or slow down. Also on top of that she had to start working part time during the day. I told her I understood how that would be, just didn't understand why the messages slowed down dramatically all of a sudden(I felt forgotten...).
    Lately we have only been talking through offline messages. I understand that she is busy with her daughter and work, its just that I don't understand why the talks have almost halted to one or two texts a day(if that). has been happening over the past month to 2 months.
    She actually got mad at me cause I was trying to talk to her about me wanting to talk more often. saying that I don't want to understand her or that I am just putting the blame on her, which I wasn't meaning it to be that way at all. Just wanted to work it out some how.
    I know since the lack of communication has hit me hard that I am always thinking of it, and barely sleep at night. Been alright the past couple days, only cause been busy working on some computers. I just have no idea what to do. I know I want to work things out, just feel lost...
    BTW I knew I loved her since about mid October. I never felt this way about anyone, not even my ex, which I thought I loved.
    Sorry for it being so long but wanted you to get a main understanding of it, even tho its not organized at all(english was my worst subject...lol).
    Thanks for any advice/thoughts/ideas or anything offered.
    If have any questions about it feel free to ask.

    aww that sounds so sweet, me and my bf met on myspace. It was almost 4 years since we met so don't give up hope and sometimes the things you have to deal with now get in the way of the person you want to talk to. TRUST ME I know, school was in our way and after some time our relationship grew more and more and just tell her that you miss her more and more that you can't stand not talking to her. That's all I can give you.

      hmmmm ... i think you need to talk to her about how you are feeling, its bad enough feeling forgotten in an CDR but it can really but a strain on things in an LDR so i can understand why you are worried, i said this in a thread the other day; communication is the key in an LDR and without it theres not much else left; because you cant be there physically, all you have is words.
      i definitely think talking to her about ways to imporve your communication would help, i would be feeling a bit suspicious right now if this has been going on for over 2 months... not good. maybe she has something bothering her shes not telling you about?
      i think that if you go over in summer... it will help also, like you said; you like planning the future, so, keep planning the future with her if she likes it.
      i hope things work out for you!!

        I agree... there could be many reasons for the reduction in communication on her part. Because she's defensive about it, I'm sure it's hard to bring it up. But really to solve it does require some communication about it. Try not to accuse her- ask her if there is anything you can do to make it easier for her. And unless she tells you otherwise, keep planning on making your trip- I'm sure once you meet each other in person it will be easier. Best wishes!

          I agree with the others, the trip will probably really help things.
          Her behavior is a little odd, and the defensiveness is something you are going to have to push past.
          Or you could take a break from her (in a communication sense only). Don't initiate any contact for a bit, see what happens.

            Thanks for the input everyone
            I do know that I need to try to work things out so that we can communicate with each other more often, and do try to do just that. But with her having a daughter that just started school, and starting work doesn't help. We'll see how things go today on my way to school, seeing as she usually gets on before she goes to sleep. Will post more later tonight. Thanks for the support
            xsomanymilesx:
            I will have to ask if there is something else bothering her, doesn't seem so, but maybe.
            Yeah I was thinking of still going to see her, just hope that she will not be too busy at that time, who knows we will see(not far away from now)
            Rach321:
            Yeah I wasn't trying to accuse her of anything just was trying to talk about it, she just took it as I was accusing. But will try today and see what happens.
            garnet:
            yeah I think that its also odd, altho do understand cause shes been busy, only don't understand why the talks have went down hill.
            What would come out of taking a communication break from her?

            Thanks again for the advice and support, will be back again with any news I find out.

              I think Garnet's advice has to do with the idea that sometimes when we are unhappy with a pattern in our relationship, changing that pattern can help. If you take a bit of a break from calling, writing, etc, she may realize that she misses you and will put a bit more effort in. Sometimes pushing and pushing isn't as effective as just letting go and letting things move on their own.

                    Sorry for the late reply...
                    I have been busy studying for my network certification test.
                    Well we talked about it briefly last week, she said that she doesn't know what her feelings are anymore.
                    So I am guessing that its over, hurt very much, but I tried to do my best.
                    Thanks for the advice or help everyone, will for sure come back if need to. Not sure tho, don't know if I want to go through this again...
                    Hope everything works out for the rest of you.
