Hi, Meredith. I'm a reader on the West Coast. I've been with someone for almost five years, and when I met him, he had a 2-year-old child from a divorce who lived out of state. The mother/ex-wife has made it…

Even though I'm 29, this is all very new to me, because in the past I'd just jump straight into a new relationship, which concealed the pain of that loss.

They are usually selfies or full body shots.

I truly love and appreciate that he chose me, but it's frustrating that I'm not allowed to be a little insecure or uncomfortable with certain situations.

I guess I kind of fell for his personality without actually meeting or talking to him.
