writes:I have been in a relationship with a lovely guy for almost two years now, and although it's not perfect, I believe that we're doing just fine. We live far apart so it's very much a LDR, but we manage to do really well.My problem is that whenever anyone asks what my martial status is I have no idea what to say. I feel that the term "boyfriend" doesn't do justice to how strongly we feel for each other, and when I mention that we live on different continents people look at me strangely thinking that it's not serious at all.We intend in the future to move in together, either in his country or mine, and then even further in the future get engaged and married, but because of the way things are, most people seem to judge the relationship because I can't strictly say any of those things about us now.I wonder if I should just use the term "newf" (non-traditional relationship), but people often relate that to either homosexual or polygamous relationships. We are strictly with each other only.So I was just wondering if people here could think of any terms that are better suited to my relationship situation, or whether I should just stick to saying "long term and long distance serious relationship"? It's a bit of a mouthful!Thanks. :)

 How about , yes i am in involved, my partner Johnny is in the Uk at he moment.
For social enquiries that should show you're 'taken' and explain absence.
For more close friendships, well they should understand and respect your love and commitment.
Happy vibes to light your way. x

reader, anonymous, writes (19 August 2008): i can see why you think this is a tricky one but could you not just term it as in a relationship? or in a serious relationship? you dont need to disclose that it is a long distance relationship unless you feel the need too! besides its all only words anyway and as long as you are both happy which it sounds like you both are and you both know how you feel about each other then why does it matter how you class your relationship for other people?? Hope this helpsFemale 21 yr old uk!
