Ultimate Ultimatum

If you leave I’ll kill myself, his needy girlfriend said.
So he did not go, because he did not want to find her dead.
Run for your life! His great grand-grand-mama’s mama would have said.
He ended up marrying this woman, and had a horrible life instead.

I love that - run Forrest run. I may need to use this in a poem!

Unfortunately, it too often happens. Yes, sometimes men are rooked in by a woman's threats of suicide. Never made any sense to me, but...it happens!

It is CRAZY - makes them both insane in my book.
