I have been in a monogamous relationship with someone my age for two years. We have been sexually active for a year now.

I have been in a long distance relationship for about 7 months. We were never official, but all the feelings were there between the two of us.

Today is my birthday.
If you've been a reader here for more than a year or two, you might have noticed that some years, I ask for something for my birthday here, and not usually something that's a thing, like a pony, a fire hoop, a scooter with a sidecar for my little dog, or a life-sized Fozzie Bear I could tell bad jokes to while going wokka-wokka (though I'd oh-so-gladly accept all of those things, for the record).
