Noam did move to New York and I did move to Los Angeles. I started a t-shirt company and I wrote a book and I had more affairs. It was a very productive few years but my relationship with Noam was on precarious ground. I mean, obviously. I'd been hemming and hawing for years and he finally gave me an ultimatum: come to New York or it was over for good. I decided to move and it was fair enough on his end, but in hindsight, if you have to give someone an ultimatum, that's never a good sign. And though we really, truly loved each other, we ultimately were more best friends than anything else.

Ah, yes, that's how I feel about ultimatums, too. I'm tempted by this one! Here's MY TUESDAY MEMES POST
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about this one although I agree that ultimatums aren't good for relationships. My teasers this week are from Shelter by Harlan Coben and Dick Francis's Bloodline by Felix Francis. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteYep. Ultimatums generally mean it's already not working.
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser. Please check out my teaser.
A cross country ultimatum is a total dick move!

This sounds like a good one.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to that.
