Long-distance relationship; a romantic relationship where the couple lives far apart.

How it's used

Focuses specifically on the physical separation between partners rather than just the emotional distance. It is frequently used in discussions about the challenges of modern dating where one partner might be working or studying abroad. The term carries a slightly heavy or serious tone, as it implies a struggle against time zones and lack of physical presence.

Common mistake

Avoid using this to describe a relationship where people live in the same city but just far apart, such as one in Tuen Mun and one in Sai Kung. It strictly refers to locations that are geographically distant enough to prevent regular, spontaneous face-to-face meetings.
