Is this a reasonable ultimatum or is it manipulation?

[Anonymous]

Telling my partner if I don’t receive 2k in my bank account by Tuesday, than they aren’t changing and I block them. Or if I do receive the 2k on Tuesday than we stay together and I apologize for seeking attention, flirting, and viewing explicit pics of men.
My boyfriend sent me gifts while he was away in another country and he kept sending me photos of the things he got me. I told him to stop playing with my feelings and illusions. He kept on telling me he was going to give it to me, but hasn’t cause he says he doesn’t have the money. So I hold him to send it and we will see if we continue being together or not.

1. His story sounds like nonsense and he has been stringing you along.

2. However, this is the guy that YOU selected to be your partner. And it seems that your primary interest now is in receiving gifts.

You need to

1. Forget about the gifts.

2. Break up with the guy.

3. Take some time to determine why you are more interested in gifts than anything else.

Before I answer, what is the significance of the 2 grand?

[Asker]

To pick up the gifts from the mailing office

[TommyMountainFigure]

It will cost you 2 grand to pick up gifts he got you from the mailing office?

[Asker]

I suppose cause I don’t know how much it will be

[TommyMountainFigure]

Couldn't you go in and ask them? Or phone them?

[Asker]

They have to tell me how much due to the weight of the package

[TommyMountainFigure]

What has he bought you that would weigh SO much that would cost 2 Grand to deliver though? Is it a Car or something?

[Asker]

No it’s not a car, but I want him to give me that much just in case

[TommyMountainFigure]

That seems an excessive amount to ask for to me. Especially when he bought you the gift, and it sounds like you're doing him the favour by accepting it only if he gives you 2 grand on top!

[Astarlessnightsky]
