You know I just remembered something that might be helpful for people.
Ms.Maria's post about what helps her stay connected in an LDR triggered it.
I had a 3-month LDR with something who lived upstate, about two hours away, and he would make sure that before we said good-bye at the end of a visit, we sat down with our planners and set up our next or the two next visits.
It was our little ritual, reassuring and sweet. He made it clear that setting up the visits was a form of commitment.
I had forgotten about that.
Anyway, for what it's worth, at the end of a visit, I'd recommend setting up the next visit, making it into a little ritual and opportunity to show commitment to each other, in person.
If that feels right to you.
