What to email us about

  • Article questions or corrections — if something we wrote doesn't match your experience, or if guidance is out of date (visa rules, app changes, product policies), tell us so we can fix it.
  • Article suggestions — a question your relationship keeps running into that we haven't covered. These are gold.
  • Your story — couples who closed the distance, broke up well, or made it work against the odds. We sometimes feature reader stories (anonymously if you prefer) in our success stories piece.
  • Partnerships — sponsorships, product reviews, or affiliate proposals. Use the partnerships email below.

How to reach us

Email is the only contact channel we monitor. Use the address that matches your reason for writing — it helps your message reach the right inbox faster.

General & reader mail:
hello@longdistance.net

Corrections & fact-checks:

Partnerships & press:
partnerships@longdistance.net

Privacy requests:
privacy@longdistance.net

What to expect on response time

Reader mail typically gets a reply within two to three working days. Partnership and press inquiries take longer because we route them carefully — please include details about your company, product, and proposal in your first email so we can decide whether it's a fit. Privacy requests are handled as quickly as we can but no later than within a calendar month, in line with the rights described on our privacy page.

How to write a useful message

If you're writing about a specific article, paste the URL and quote the line you're responding to. If you're suggesting a topic, tell us why a reader of the existing pages would look for that next — concrete reader questions make for the best articles. If you're correcting something we got wrong, point to the source we should have used; we update articles when the underlying advice changes.

A note on personal advice

We receive many "should I stay or should I leave?" messages. We read them, and we care, but we publish general guidance — we can't responsibly weigh in on individual relationships over email without knowing the full context. If you're at a hard inflection point, our guides on therapy for long-distance couples and when to break up in a long-distance relationship are the closest thing we have to a thoughtful answer. If you're in crisis, please reach a local mental health professional or, in the US, dial or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

Postal correspondence

We don't currently accept postal mail. Anything you'd want to send physically should go to the appropriate email address above instead.
