It will work only if you want it to. You have to be in love and willing to be honest, faithful, and trust worthy. Make sure you're in love or else you will get to the point where you feel you are wasting each others time. Good luck and stay strong.

They can work!!!! IT's how my hubby and I ended up together! We were apart for two full years before we were finally able to get together, he was in Australia, I was in the US; so similar situation as yourself. All you both need is trust and honesty. If you trust him, and yourself, and your think both of you can remain faithful, not just physically, but mentally, too; then it can definatly work. My husband and I have been married for a year this past valenitines day; and have been living together for 2 years, though we've been 'together' (including the long distance dating) for near four years. And I tell you what, waiting for him, was the best thing I've ever done, he, and the daughter we've made, and the stepson he's given me, as well, are my life. Life would be so empty without them.
So I say, go for it. If you don't; and you trully feel he's the love of your life, you're always going to be wondering; "What if...?

Talk often, not matter how you can email, call and good old letters are the best. Try setting a date to IM ocasionally. This can be hard when in different time zones but as long as you work hard at it IT CAN WORK.
Never underestimate the power of a hand written letter, very romantic and personal.
Best of luck.

Long distance relationships are the hardest thing to keep up. My last relationship was with a man two hours ago and that was extremely hard and didnt last. I cant imagine not seeing someone for 6 months ? Unless of course it was my ex husband, then that wouldnt be so bad!

normally they always end up in break ups, but if you really believe in each other and sincerely love each other it will work. My friend's relationship is until todaz very strong. They have been separated for 3 years and saw each other twice a year. It really depends on you guys if this relationship means something to you. Good luck

They can work with trust understanding and love. I was in one for 3 years before we got married and moved together. But it was not always easy. Be strong and if the love is there believe me it will be fine

depends on how well you really know him. did you spend lots of time together before he went to work? Also, after you marry, will he be back together with you? If not, I suggest you make sure that these changes happen soon or I cant see it working out.
I think its nice that you are trying at least.

its hard..My bf is also overseas and for the first few months, we were always fighting. Im very insecure...But we talked about it and there was a lot of compromise and its working. We try to talk online as often as his schedule would allow:) Trust and faith is very important

it could work if u guys trust each other. my bf and i have been together going on 5 years now and we're still going strong. we do talk alot online as well as on the phone so it helps. of course, he's here with me every summer when he's not going to school and i visit him every so often. good luck!
