Marriedaliar, 47

I care most about what's in a person's heart. I've been married for 5 years, have an amazing daughter and have been miserably unhappy in my marriage from the beginning. I stay for my daughter's sake but I am a human being. I have been used as nothing more than a personal bank account, have been beaten, lied to, cheated on and taken for granted and I want to know that this is not what I have to look forward to for the rest of my life.
I will dare describe myself as beautiful, because I have been told I am and because for once I choose not to be modest. I have blue green eyes, am of French descent, have brown hair an am overweight. I gained the weight during my pregnancy and have struggled to lose it due to the discouraging conditions of my present married life.

I am a very intelligent, strong, determined, independent woman. I will sacrifice my own happiness for those who matter most to me but I refuse to be alone and give up on feeling loved. I guarantee you won't be disappointed once you get to know me. I am not and have never cheated on my husband but he does it daily. I simply want to know if I can connect with someone out there who won't hold my one bad choice against me.
I speak several languages and have lived all over the world and there is so much more to me than meets the eye. I wanted to be honest and up front because I believe in giving no less than what I expect for myself. I want nothing but honesty.
I hope to find someone I can first and foremost call a friend.
