Has anyone ever left you after giving you an ultimatum and you chose Door Number Two?



"Goodbye, Randall. I told you it was either me or the tildes, and you made your decision. It didn't really have to be this way, but I guess I wasn't good enough for you. Be happy with your squiggly little lines, because you've lost me forever. Don't try to find me, either.

signed,
Grilly"

  • It's usually been me who walked out after being given an ultimatum.

  • You know? It's always been me doing the ultimatuning, me the one dictating terms, always the arbiter. I've just realised that I'm no better for it. Like some kind of void on legs with a heart and a head. I'm not proud and I don't take succour from it.

  • That's one of the most personal and honest things I've read on public boards.

    You might not be proud, but I'm not sure if you should be ashamed either.  Most of us are trying to fill a void, it's the journey.

  • Ultimatums are stupid. 
    If you get what you want, you surely are not getting it wllyfully, and if you don't, . . .well. . .then you just done goofed. . No?

  • Yes to your no, that's the thing. Ultimatums are declrations slathered in some kind of exchange lie. I ain't daft. You're right.

  • People really only give them when they feel they aren't being recognized or acknowledged.  Sometimes you have to put your foot down and make it clear that if someone wants "this" with "you" this has to happen.  Granted the odds they are going to follow it are low but what are you supposed to do?

  • I would never try to even hint at you being daft. If I gave you that impression, please forgive me.

    In my case, I was left without a choice. Heartbreaking stuff there.

  • I don't give ultimatums, I just go. If there's ever a reason for an ultimatum, clearly things aren't working....if given an ultimatum? Yeah I'm outta there....lived and learned the hard way!

    No, I don't do ultimatums. If someone gave me one, I'd do the opposite just to anger the person for giving me one. I've walked away from relationships because if I left first then I wouldn't be the one left. Silly, huh? I finally realized what I was doing and have tried to be better about such behavior.
