We can't motivate you. If you're not motivated on your own to help her make the relationship strong and lasting, willing to nurture it for years and years, then you might as well walk away now. Cut losses for you both.

Continuing to take the past of least resistance isn't going to improve your relationship. Be willing to confront the uncomfortable to get it out of the way. You say you communicate well. What does she need/want that she's not getting? What's the relationship lacking for you? If everything's hunky dory, why do you feel you need motivation? How badly do you want this relationship and what are you willing to do to maintain it?

You could have an ideal relationship for all we know. You're not giving us much to go on, so I'm just offering a couple of points to toss around in your head.
