Honestly, I would not give her the time of day. She is nothing. She is a band-aid as well.
When someone does this, I do believe they are pushing a spouse further away from you.
Maybe I just don't get it but I also feel that ultimatums don't always work as the spouse who is being given the ultimatum tends to think of their spouse as being controlling, manipulative and a mommy-figure.
I would think very hard before doing these things.
