    The meme is a bit wordy, but uh no, plently of people in relationships are not great at communicating, setting clear expectations and boundaries…

    But issuing an ultimatum is a power move, that if acquiesed to, sets a precedent where that can be done for anything. This is antithetical to a relationship where each person respects the other one. After an ultimatum like this, such mutual respect is impossible going forward.

    The only correct choice, for both people, is that if an ultimatum like this is issued, or one person genuinely thinks they have no other option?

    You two are done.

    You do not work as a couple, wrap it up.
