Ultimatums

I think it would depend entirely on the situation and what sort of ultimatum is being given

Exactly what the other person just commented on it depends on some ppl you must be firm. And if it warned for that to be used for.

Context is needed to really answer this question.

Definitely depends on the situation, but most of the time if you’re at the point of an ultimatum you’re essentially at a last resort forcing the change. They can build up resentment in your relationship and typically if your at this point, it can mean that either boundaries have been constantly broken or ignored. Boundaries are “flexible” ultimatums are not if that makes sense. Healthy boundaries are good in all relationships friends, families, partner.

Does this have something to do with the Netflix Ultimatum show? Marry or move on or something like that?

No lol :-)

I think it depends on the situation and how well you know your partner.

Generally, ultimatums are not healthy in a relationship. While it is important to have boundaries and clearly communicate your wants and needs with your partner, forcing them to make an a or b choice is not the best way to go about any problem in the relationship. Instead, it's better to try to discuss whatever the issue is. For instance, if 1 partner is interested in marriage and the other is not, then having a conversation about what that means and what an appropriate compromise may be. Any time you are forcing someone to do something, it is likely to cause resentment and shut down honest communication. If you're struggling with a recurring issue, a skilled couple's counselor can assist you two in facilitating these difficult conversations and work out whatever the issues are.

I agree with PPs. it is hard to tell without knowing the context
