... Send *anniepeg a private message | | *anniepeg's profile:I am 34, married a second time. My son is 9 years old and 2 cats. He keeps me busy. My hobbies are movies, recreational games like xbox games, darts, badminton and dear cupid of course. I used to play the piano but stopped. I have been here for 6 years. Every year I see myself change. Every day is a surprise, an opportunity for growth while some days are just coasting along wondering what the point is. My relationship views are a mix of traditional values and modern, open minded ones. I still believe in long term monogamy as it feels right to me. Other than that I feel there are too many rules in a relationship that I would like to get rid of. Dearcupid is a source of my learning about relationships. I am too young to form a conclusion of what love is. I guess I will grow old with this site.

A. 12 May 2012: I don't believe she has low sex drive and then jumped into casual sex and had more times than she could count. She could be exaggerating or even lying to piss you off and to let you know that the sex issue is not her problem but yours. If she ... (read in full...)

A. 12 May 2012: Please don't change your ways because of that 48 year old. He is obviously ignorant and upset that he has been waiting for so long and the only prospect is someone older than him. He doesn't know how young you look, how active you are and ... (read in full...)
