What was the ultimatum?

I’ve never really seen the point of being adversarial just for the sake of it…it’s not like you gain anything by it.

When things have gone beyond reasonable discussion and into ultimatum territory, there is nothing left to do but bail.

This country is pretty much there, as well.

Some demands cannot be met without losing your core self.

It takes a measure of strength to stand at that point.

It will only get harder.

I was going to go with break up with the girlfriend.

Did you see his description of her?

In which case my response would have been drop 87lbs, act like you want my essence and find a natural hair color.

Then I’ll break it off with the girlfriend. Until then I’ll break it off in her.

Honestly from what little you’ve shared sounds like you were in a lose lose marriage.  Nothing you could do would ever make someone like that happy.  Marriage is never a “shut up and do what I say” relationship.  If someone thinks that it is then they have issues.


That’s and the purple hair was a dead giveaway!!!

Not to be a downer, not knowing your situation, but sounds like you played into her hands. An ultimatum from a control freak should be met with a laugh and redirect. Then tell her to make you a sandwich if you want to piss her off. Such behavior only comes from the powerless. I’m not saying you should deal with it, but you have for 24 years and vows and all. I would make her end it, which I doubt she would. Now you will be blamed for her misery.
