For three years I maintained a long distance relationship with my girlfriend. I lived in Northern Ireland and she lived in France. Visiting each other was costly and university commitments often kept us apart. I know all too well of the pain that comes from lying in bed at night and desperately just wanting her next to you. That was one of the things that eventually broke us up.
This is the first time I've given advice to someone on a LDR. Usually I read a post and bitterly think that it'll soon fail. I like to think I've moved past that stage now, but there's still not much I can say to help you. I do recognise the whole "you're not as interested as you used to be" thing. In my case, that meant she was worried about us not seeing each other and me wanting to see other women. All you can do is reassure her that she's special to you and remind her that you'll be together again soon.
Have you been able to make plans to move closer to each other? That's one thing that'll always spur you on. Good luck.
