It took Reddit userElevenElevenPMa very long time to find what was missing from her life. However, now that she’s got it, her partner wants her to get rid of it.

But amidst all the joy, the yogi’s husband presented her with an ultimatum: either stop practicing yoga, or the marriage is over.

Ultimatums are not part of a healthy relationship

A lot of the time, people create an ultimatum because they feel like they’ve expressed their need in every way they could and it still wasn’t met. In other words, ultimatums largely come from desperation.

The ultimatum is a way for them to exert control over something they feel they have no control over, such as their partner’s behavior or their traits.

But, as with many last resorts, their success rate is very low. Marriage and family therapist Megan Harrison, LMFT,explainedthe dangers of ultimatums, saying, “They are particularly damaging because they are threats that force changes in behavior. [This] often leads to resentment and insecurity in the relationship since your partners felt pressured into doing something they didn’t want to do.”
