Long distance relationship - confidence?

Asked by JonathanLouis (11) December 7th, 2009 from iPhone

I will try to be as detailed as possible: I was an exchange student to the US and have been involved with an American girl for a year now. We love each other – no doubt. But since I am back in Germany things haven’t been going so well. She feels alone even though we are on the phone at least 10 hours a week. She seems to be so down when I am not talking to her that I end up feeling really guilty about getting of the phone at night. The six hour time difference causes me a lack of sleep and I don’t have enough time for school anymore. I won’t and can’t leave her because she is everything I got and I love her. I want to know how to make her feel more confident about her – OUR future even though I do not want to be too specific because I do not want to make false promises.

I am thankful for every single reply. I want it to be okay.
