The part that scares me also, is that we both had become emotionally distant over the last couple years, so I don't want to seem like I don't care and being 'more of the same'. I really do care, and I'm ready to emotionally invest in my MR. I do need her to be as well if we are going to work. I'm just afraid that I'll go dark, and she won't initiate any contact herself, and what should have been an excellent, strong, beautiful, lasting relationship disappears into thin air because neither of us communicated correctly.
