It's very strong right now. Personally, I feel like the distance can only weaken an otherwise strong bond. Some of my friends disagree. Curious what others think.

It all depends on the couple. If this is a relationship with two people that truly love and care about each other, then the reunion in 6 months will be spectacular.

If your relationship is really strong, I bet it will stay that way--even improve. My boyfriend of 2 years and I broke up just before I studied abroad for 4 months about 2 years ago. We managed to go a month without contacting each other before we started to communicate again. We missed each other so much, he drove to the airport with my parents to pick me up when I returned, and we got back together immediately. I now live overseas in the Middle East and the same amazing guy proposed to me the day before I left the U.S. in August. It's now been 6 months and our relationship hasn't lost an inch of ground. We'll be married next August after I return at the end of May (9 months after my initial departure). If you're relationship is strong, six months may drag by, but it'll be better every time you get the chance to spend time with them. You appreciate the time you do have with the person that much more. My advice, don't use preemptive measures to protect your heart out of fear that it won't work out....trust me, and use the time apart to focus on improving and understanding yourself so you can make the relationship that much stronger when you return.

That depends on how much you trust each other, and how much effort you both put in to make it work.
If it starts getting really difficult after a few months it will make your relationship weaker, however if it's still strong after a few months and u keep it that way, it can only make it stronger. The more difficulties a relationship goes through and then comes out on top, the better the relationship will be.
I hope all goes well for you!

well it can be both.. if it doesn;t work out it can make it weaker but if you survive the 6 months with no problems it made it stronger because just because there was distance it didn't ruin the relationship.. and if there was a strong bond before it should stay the same

have you ever heard the saying "distance only makes the heart grow fonder" well i feel that there is truth to that. My roommate's bf left for the army june 2006, and has been in basic and schooling and doesnt return back to April of this year. They are stronger then ever. You can also look at it as a test for your relationship. Because if your relationship can make it through distance, it can prob be strong enough to make it through any other type of obstacles that may come in your way.

I am living a long distance relationship. I have gone to visit him twice, and today, I miss him so much! We are 700+ miles away from one another. I am lonely for him. Eventually I will probably end up moving to where he lives so we can be together. We have been doing this long-distance thing for six months so far, and it's killing us. I guess it's workable for a little while anyway. I think it depends on what you put into it whether or not it's strong or weak.

The key word is strong. As long as you feel that your relationsip is strong right now, then 6mos is nothing. That will go by quickly. I have had a 2yr LTR before it it can be tough. What you need to keep in mind is that BOTH of you need to work hard together! As with any form of relationship, the hard work got to be done by both sides. He needs to be feeling the same as you do. Communication on a regular basis is important. Make sure you both can meet up a few times within that 6mos period (depending on the distance). But that 6mos will go quick...have faith. =)

It depends on the relationship, if you guys have a strong relationship now, chances are it will be grow stronger. Another good indicator is how your relationship has handled adversity before. If your relationship was weakened then they time apart may do the same. Do not doom the relationship...stick it out and see how it goes.

I'm in that situation.
I started a relationship with my girlfriend from Barcelona in october. After knowing her for two years. So this is serious and we are both mature when it comes to the relationship, it wasn't rushed in to.
I think if you really ARE in love, you trust the other person, you are loyal and honest. It will make you stronger. But you have to be serious. Really.
We;re reunited completely in June/July so still 4 months to go. 4 Months already gone though. And things have never been stronger.
It's important you have that date to look forward too when you're back together, it gives hope for your relationship. But be positive!!
Stay in touch with me if you like,
It's good to hear from people in the same situation,
Good luck,
Matt

It really depends on how strong it was to begin with. If you have a strong foundation, no separation will hurt your relationship. Do everything you can to stay in touch on a daily basis and share everything with the other person that you would if you were together. Have lots of long phone sex. That usually works!
