I agree and disagree with Spartan in regards to the pursuit. I am not sure that I even like thinking about it as pursuit...
I like the Skype idea. I like the more frequent texts to just see how they are doing. I like the idea of you changing your actions to trying to be more involved (and I know it isn't easy being so far apart). I also like that you are going to visit in May, even if you aren't sure what it will be like.
Just because you are not physically there at the moment, I guess what I have been trying to stress is to be as present as possible while you are apart. Seeing that change, could make her begin to see that things can be different, which has the potential for her to think things will be different when you are actually there full time as well.
It is scary. You don't know what the future holds if you make these changes. Although you have a pretty good idea what it holds if you don't. Fear is a huge stumbling block for many of us.
Anyway, just my musings...
