Does your family disagree with your LDR choice?

For me... My family and hers family both are fairly open minded and accept our decision. To say they both agree might be pushing it, but they both for sure are happy for both of us. The only thing is... both of our families worry about each of us, making traveling to see each other a lot more difficult.
Also to add... I have met my SO parents over skype and she has spoken to mine over skype and everything went very well.

In my case it was his family that were not too keen on the LDR thing, but eventually after they met me and spent time with me they got ok with it. I hope it works out good for you!

My family is, luckily, supportive of it. Originally, I thought my dad wouldn't be, but he said that I'm 18 and I can make my own decisions. He doesn't like the fact that Luke has put me though all sorts of drama in the past few months [long story, don't ask], but other than that, he's fine with it.
My friends are fine with it, but my co-workers think that I should find someone local. They just think the distance is causing too much drama with me and Luke, but that's their opinion =P I get good support, for the most part<3
I'm sorry you don't get support, OP. That's why you have us here at LFAD!

Thanks for the support and advice. I wish I could talk to my family about our relationship the same way he does with his. His mom and sister are both very supportive. I guess it's good that at least one of our families is accepting.

I think it's just ignorance on their part. They don't understand much about how close you can be with someone in a LDR nowadays. Like with keeping in touch. It's just something they can't wrap their brains around. :/ I've tried to meet them halfway, but I guess the only way is for them to just meet him in person. It sucks because it's a bit of pain. He'll be staying at a hotel (which is more money spent...) and half our time will be spent meeting with them and me praying they don't interrogate him too much. The crazy thing is, I'm certain that within 10 minutes of meeting him they'll see what I've seen all along and it'll be fine. But until that point, it's like he's nobody to them.

I was at my father's dog sitting for them and Ray was keeping me company until they got back. My father asked me who I was talking to and I just replied that it was Ray. I elaborated a bit more and said from Vegas. I couldn't read his face. I asked if he wanted to say hello to him, he shook his head and said it was fine. And that was that. It was a bit awkward, so I told Ray I'd talk with him later when I was back at home. The only other question my father asked was if I could see him and I told him that I have, but he wasn't on webcam right now. And that's it. No further inquiries to who he is or anything... :/
