Lovers use the acronym LDR to refer to a long-distance relationship. In these relationships, BFs and GFs are separated by a large amount of (physical, and hopefully not emotional) distance.
Those in an LDR commonly use text, chat, and email messages to keep in touch with each other. If you're in an LDR, be sure to peruse the Related Slang section below, to view additional acronyms, abbreviations, and slang terms you can use in messages to your SO.
