    Hello from Maine

    Hi everyone. I'm 33, and was in a monogamous relationship with the man who is also my 7-year-old son's father for almost 12 years (we never married, but were engaged for most of the relationship.) That ended amicably early last year, and I began to date again casually last summer. At that time...
