Open Relationships & Polyamory There are many ways that folks can decide to have their romantic, sexual, or platonic relationships. Most people are familiar with monogamy, where two people are in a closed, committed relationship with each other.

A long distance relationship (LDR) is a relationship in which the geographical distance between two or more partners impacts how often they can see each other.
