Hello everyone, I'm writing this as I'm feeling lost and hoping that maybe could share some wisdom / help with similar experience.

Me (25M) and my GF (23F) have met in Singapore ~4 months ago and we both felt our lives have changed ever since. We have strong feelings for each other and we want the best for each other and our relationship to succeed.

After dating for a month and half in Singapore - my GF had to continue her studies in Taiwan, which will end in Summer '25, her field is strongly sought after so we don't think finding a job for her in Singapore will be a problem once she's done studying. We are basically doing long-distance right now, with me visiting her every month~.

Apart from the typical hardships of long-distance, we have a big nationality problem. Malaysians are forbidden from entering Israel and vice-versa. My GF is quite brave on this whole thing, she is willing to try to sneak to Israel even though the Malaysian goverment forbids it. The other way - Israelis cannot enter Malaysia.

While it isn't my dream to go to Malaysia or her's to come to Israel, I feel this is important capability for a partner in a relationship -- to visit family, friends, attend evens, be there when someone's sick, celebrate holidays, etc. even if the center of our lives is in another country.

Maybe I'm exaggerating and this isn't really a big problem? but we're both dating to marry and not trying to fool around/waste time. None of us have second nationality.

I'm wondering what should we do? how can we overcome this? has anyone dated/married someone from a hostile/"enemy" country? The more time goes on I feel like break up may be inevitable, but I really want to give it our best shot and not give up on something that feels this real and good.

TL;DR; bf from israel, gf from malaysia, no idea how to make it work despite our nationalities.
