Ultimatum

I can’t stand being backed into a corner.

When someone throws an ultimatum out at me, it calls to the basest, most stubborn of my redneck instincts. You want to give me a choice? Then be prepared for the consequences; and I can guarantee, 90% of the time, my choice is not going to be the one you want, simply because my pride will not allow it.

The bad thing is, though, that no one wins when you back someone into a corner.  And if they are a true friend to begin with, they would never treat you that way.

    Uh-oh, sounds like someone had an interesting weekend.
    For some reason, your post reminded me of something a friend told me once. That he didn’t used to have relationships so much as he took hostages. I’m happy to report that he’s better now.

    Hey, how about this for an ultimatum…
    Love yourself and practice self-care, or else!

    Ok, so, are you saying that 90% of the time reverse psychology works on you?
