Can long distance relationships ever work?

My boyfriend is going to live in Egypt for a while as he has family there and he is planning to stay for around 6 months...


I live in the UK and he will be returning for brief visits in the time he is there...


Do you think that it could ever work out or should i give up now?Can long distance relationships ever work?
awww...Yeh same issue iI'm having too. I'll be away for a year in Japan studying next year ...my boyfriend will go the year after ...which means 2 years away. So kinda scary haha. But we're commited and hpefully things will work out. Theres all sorts of way to get connected...For me I can visit him during my vacations etc. also send letters, emails, phone, stay in contact u no. Can long distance relationships ever work?
Every relationship is different but long distance relationships can work if you are in a stable relationship. There is a higher success rate if you have been together for a while and plan to stay together. If you've just started seeing each other then you may not want to try this since it can be draining emotionally. The situation is different for everyone so you really have to know yourself and your mate. Ultimately only you know if you are capable of this or not. Good luck. I am already in a LD relationship and I know from experience how difficult it can be.
Yes, if you love each other and stay faithful it definitely can work. However, relationships that are constantly under the pressure of long distances can be very difficult. But if it's only 6 months and then you'll be together, I think that could definitely work out, I have gone through similar in the past and me %26amp; my boyfriend remained together.
No you shouldn't because if your strongly commited to your relationship then you shouldn't give up because he's going to visit his family foronly 6 months. Besides he's going to come for breif visits right? So no you shouldn't give up. And long distance relationships work only if you keep in contact and you are strongly commited.
dont give up just because of the distance (if you love him). Im in the uk, my girlfriend is from USA, we met in jamaica 20 months ago. Sinse ive been there 4 times and im going for xmas and new year and shes been her 3 times, last time for 3months. We sometimes fight and it isnt easy but something keeps us going. 6 months is nothing, text each day and talk on the phone often, you'l be fine babe, trust me.
This is a hard question to answer. You should already know the answer yourself. If the love is there then SURE it should work out. Look at all the couples that are split up for the war. It happens all the time. If this was a four year term like he was going off to school that is one thing. Don't worry he will only be gone for 6 months! Hang in there and just try to make things work. Don't give up. Good luck.
yes it can my boyfriend lived in south africa we only saw each other every 8 months went on like that for 2 years we are now married been married nearly 8 years if its meant to be it will not saying its easy its not if your both committed your make it good luck hang in there if hes worth it dont let go i didnt i made it
don't give up now!


if it works it does, take it step by step


if it isn't working then agree to break it off and don't hide yourself away whilst he's not there as you never know who else you could meet. Theres nothing to lose if you both try, but if it works then you know it will be worth all the time you've spent apart.
It depends on how strong your relationship is, a friend of mine has been in an overseas relationship for 3yrs now and she says it's drives her mad but they meet up allthe time and he is coming over to live with her soon. it depends on your age also.
if you really feel for each other then dont give up just yet,give it a go and see if it works you have nothing to lose.My partner works away from 7weeks up to 11 weeks at a time then home for a week or two and its ok for us,its brought us closer.We speak to eachother every night and have a webcam.It can be hard sometimes but you get through it.Good Luck
it can definitely work. my boyfriend is in the navy and he will be gone for about 4 years, and only be able to come visit for one month out of the year.


if you really like this guy, and he likes you back, it can definitely work out. don't give up.
IF YOU REALLY LOVE HYM AND WANT TO BE WITH HYM THEN HOLD ON TO HYM LONG DISTANCE CAN WORK AS LONG AS U HAVE TRUST IN EACH OTHER JUST TRY TO WORK IT OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE YUH DONT JUST FIND LOVE AROUND THE CORNER AND MAYBE ONE DAY HE'LL BRING YUH TO EGYPT WITH HYM LOL
umm it can work. You just need to keep talking with each other and a visit every here and there will be good. If i could make me leaving in a few months to basic training and AIT work and then maybe going to war you guys should make this work.
DONT give up. im in a long distance relationship right now. and we talk on the phone almost every night. even if he cant call you maybe he can write to you. but sharing you thoughts and feeling, in my opinion, keeps you close, even while you're far away.
just pray he doesn't meet some random hot egyptian chick





Just kidding, I totally think It could work, my dad/mom were in the army for years, together before marriage, and they still are together sixteen years later. Just remember to keep in touch with him!!
Well it depends if you are serious about each other. If you love each other than distance wont be a problem.


I had to move to England for uni and my boyfriend still lives in Sotland and we are just fine and good as ever.
It depends you have to be really trusting of one another because you don,t know if the other partners cheating. It would be very hard , I couldn,t have a long distance relationship.
It depends on how commited to eachother you are x
sure....as long as you have a bunch of short distance relationships going on at the same time
I've had two of them..I should have learned from the first..but..I will say ';no';...they are very difficult....not to say that it couldn't..But, let destiny be your guide...
it depends on how commited you to are if u really love him and he loves you it might work hope this helps
nop... sorry but ppl always cheat on each other during a time like that.. unless you have a open relationship =)
for the first few weeks...maybe....after that...invest ur time in someone else..
