3 years ago I was broken after a physically, sexually, emotionally and financially abusive marriage.
This year I have got a really good new job, ended a relationship with someone who looked like they were about to turn into a cocklodger so my boundaries and self esteem have risen.
But today I did really well. I was messaging someone who I met online. I only started an online profile on Sunday so I was new to it all. I ended up deleting my profile on Tuesday because some of the men on there (POF) were ridiculous. Their messages and hundreds of 'meet me' thing made me feel like a piece of meat so I got rid but gave one guy (who seemed nice) my number before I shut it.
Today the fucker asked me to send him a full length picture (there were two on my profile) so I did and said he couldn't tell if I was fat or not!
I'm a size 12. I've had 3 DC's so I'm not skinny but I'm not fat. 4 years ago I'd have accepted that. I told him to do one and I wouldn't be interested in being with someone who was shallow and willing to start in on my self esteem before he'd even met me!
Small victory but it felt good! Cheeky fucker!

Can I just celebrate how good my boundaries have got?
