My brother has been in many long-distance relationships. Enough to show me that I should avoid them at all costs. They can be confusing, emotionally difficult, and usually end in one or both members finding someone local. I am not saying this is the case with you, but it is not going to be easy if you want to keep this relationship going.
Often I've seen that my brother's "LDR"s (long distance relationships) have more bumps and turbulence than a local relationship. It may be because it is so difficult for the couple to meet and get attached physically as well. I say you should plan to meet with her often and find out if it is possible for one to move near the other.
However, it appears there are other issues as well, involving her past relationships. You can not compare your current relationship with her old relationship.
It is possible that she is not sure she wants to commit to a relationship due to the controlling one she had before. It is also possible she isn't ready yet.
Good luck with it. Just keep communicatoin open with her.
