Don't accept ultimatums.

If your boyfriend is in the habit or gets into the habit of issuing ultimatums then you will have to deal with a controlling person if you get married.

Trust becomes involved here too. If he can't trust you to talk to your ex, what other things might he become untrusting about.

These are hypothetical and I am not suggesting you stir up the waters with your boyfriend on this but keep it in mind in case his behavior continues. At some point you might need to draw the line. You give him an ultimatum--no more ultimatums.

You made your choice when he gave you the ultimatum. Try to live up to it. Because if you don't, your boyfriend's mistrust will be proven to him.

Good luck!
