<human>: My SO and I live about 85 miles away from each other, and we entertain busy schedules (full time work, part time school, etc.) and use Skype, texting, etc. to fill in the gaps when we're apart. 

Lately, I feel as though I make all of the effort to communicate and connect. (I'll send little love notes/care packages in the mail, initiate conversation, plan our dates & outings.) As a result of this, I feel like I'm working really hard to make our relationship work, and am falling very much in love, while I'm not seeing that same affection being mirrored back at me.

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: I am putting a lot of effort and affection into our relationship and feel like the effort is not being reciprocated. What do?
