Long-distance relationship

Partners in LDRs typically use frequent telecommunications to maintain their relationship

A long-distance relationship (LDR) or long-distance romantic relationship is an intimate relationship between partners who are geographically separated from one another. Partners in LDRs face geographic separation and lack of face-to-face contact.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] LDRs are particularly prevalent among college students, constituting 25% to 50% of all relationships.^[5] Even though scholars have reported a significant number of LDRs in undergraduate populations, long-distance relationships continue to be an understudied phenomenon.^[6]

Also, a romantic long-distance relationship (rLDR) refers to a relationship when communication opportunities are limited due to geographical factors, and the individuals involved in the relationship have expectations of maintaining a close connection.^[7]
