Get away from ultimatum people. Thankfully, they make it easy.
I once attended a wedding where the groom gave a speech in which he basically groveled at his wife's feet. "I'm so unworthy and thankful that she's willing to have me, etc." It made people uncomfortable. A year later, out to dinner with the same couple (not my friends, I got volunteered), the woman drank too much and peppered her over-decibal speech with so many obscenities that we asked her repeatedly to cool it since people were staring. Management eventually came over and told her to pipe down or we would have to leave. Not sure but I probably went off to pay the bill so we could get the hell out of there. I don't recall the husband saying a damn thing to his profane angel but I'm sure he licked her ass clean when they got home.
Its a peculiar irony that imperious people are rarely able to govern even themselves.
