    Hi all,

    I'm Annika...bi female in her 40's.

    I've been very happily and monogamously partnered with an incredible woman since college (we've been together just over 25 years). But in the past several years, that interest in men has resurfaced with increasing strength. My partner and I both consider ourselves bisexual, so at least we can talk about it...but basically, this increased interest has led me to look for support in the form of others with similar issues.

    Couldn't tell from a casual glance whether this place was what I was looking for, but thought I'd give it a whirl.

    We are both professionals, and at least somewhat out at work and in the community...that is to say that we don't keep it a secret that we're a couple, but neither do we scream our sexuality from the housetops, or engage in public displays of affection (unless it's clear that such displays are welcome).

    I look forward to meeting and getting to know people here!

    Welcome to the site! I hope it proves helpful, or at least a comfortable place to come and chat. I'm glad you and your partner can talk about it as well.
