35 [M4F] EST/New England - looking for something long-term

I’m *notabot. Married, two kids, a decent job, and a big hole in my life where you should be. Not here to talk down on either of our spouses, let’s keep this about you and me, not them.

I’m tall, dark hair and eyes, and milk chocolate skin. Sometimes I have facial hair, sometimes I don’t. I have a dad bod, but at least dad bod comes with dad strength. And I have a few tattoos with plans to get more.

I work full-time, which keeps me busy, but my job also offers enough flexibility to chat throughout the day. I don’t have to disappear in the evening though and I hope you don’t either (but I get it if you do).
When I’m not working or doing things with my family, I usually have my nose in a book, typically horror, sci-fi, or fantasy. I love music too, anything really, but metalcore/hardcore is my go to. I’ve also been getting into solo hiking and recently.

I’m looking for someone who enjoys life, even if she’s not satisfied with life exactly as it is right now. Someone talkative and willing to really engage in conversation, who can feel free to take the lead on occasion! A silly and darker sense of humor is also a major, major plus. Physical attraction is definitely important, but less important than connection for me. I want to text, share pics and voice notes, and call down the road, when we both have time. And if you’re close and things go well, I’m definitely open to meeting up in the future.
That said, any time zone is okay with me, but I do prefer someone in North America.

Make it through all that? Cool, message me!
