I've always had a submissive personality, although strong willed. *glances around at sounds of scoffing* Really! I swear! *nods emphatically* I was picked on as a child partly because of my small size and partly because, I believe, they sensed easy prey. I would go out of my way to avoid confrontations. When I started dating, I was agreeable to doing whatever my boyfriend wanted. However, as I got older, I became less willing to compromise. I became a person who wasn't afraid to make demands. Woe be unto those who failed and earned my terrible wrath! Mwahahahahahahaha! It wasn't until after my divorce 2 years ago when I was referred to this site by a fellow chatter on MSN that I began putting 2 and 2 together and getting the right answer.
