QUESTION: About a month ago, my boyfriend of a little over a year and I began a long distance relationship when he moved 2,000 miles across the country from where we both lived in PA. We have never had a single problem, not even a fight (though we have had debates). He is the greatest boyfriend and I trust him completely! But, it's his best friend/bandmate I don't trust. He has different views on relationships than my boyfriend does, and he keeps telling both of us that we should break up and that...

QUESTION: So I was in a LDR a year and a half ago, and he cheated on me. But I cheated on him too, it was a year long relationship that failed because of that. We ended as friends because we both cheated and both did wrong. After that I tried to move on and got into another relationship (local, but my friend said that was not the right way to move on). He went on and hooked up with girls. I live in California and he lives in Houston, TX. I met him through family when I visited. So pretty dist...

Being in a long distance relationship myself, I'm excited for the new romantic comedy, Going The Distance (starring Drew Barrymore and Justin Long). It comes to theaters August 27th.

My SO and I have not been through a deployment or any DETS. Contrary to popular belief (including my own) just because he isn't deployed doesn't mean he can do as he pleases. My boyfriend is in the Navy and although we get to talk daily (normally) I find the Navy is my biggest enemy most of the time. Let me explain... Kevin and I met while he was on leave. I knew right off the bat that he was in the Navy as it was one of the first things we talked about. What I didn't know at the time was th...

Hey guys, so I have been wondering for a long time how to promote LFAD to college students. Frank and I had a college LDR, and I know for the most part, college students are in LDRs more than any other group of people. Our site didn't exist while we were both attending school. I know that it would have been a real help back then for us. So I want to let other college students know about our site so they know that they aren't alone in this!

You can help spread the word! ...

Everyone that registers their new LFAD member profile by February 28th will be automatically entered into our giveaway! 5 winners will be chosen at random:

The special topic that I’m concerned with in this short article is dealing with an age gap between the two members of an LDR .

Being in a Long-Distance Relationship with an age gap exposes you to a lot of pressures. Other than the regular pressures that any LDR couple has to endure, they also h...
