Either or, would you really want a dude around who was so childish he did the oposite just to be testy?
I was. It's why I'm divorced. I won't be in a relationship where ultimatums are issued instead of conversations.

Ultimatums are usually given when on or the other wont come to a compromise....

you can have all the conversations u want but if that person doesn't yield your left with giving them an ultimatum....

walking out without giving them a choice shows you didnt give a damn in the first place!!!

Not me. As long as there are people like this in the world, I will never be the biggest redneck or have to change my own oil, or bag my own groceries, or scrap gum out from under desks, or pump out outhouses or dig ditches. :yay:

So your ultimatum was "No more ultimatums or you are out"???

Bres, even deciding to BE in a relationship involves an ultimatum - some things are just non-negotiable. "If you abuse drugs, I will not get involved with you." "If you continue to see other women, I will not see you myself."

I like an ultimatum and would have appreciated it if more of the guys I dated had been honest enough to issue one instead of dicking around. "If you continue to smoke, I will move on" instead of "Oh no, honey - smoking doesn't bother me *cough cough*"

Ultimatums say there will be consequences for your actions and behavior. Then it's up to the issuee whether they will accept those terms or not.

Well, if she does, you had better take it serious, I know for a fact that there is a line forming hoping for the day she kicks you to the curb...:bubble:
