I've been involved in a long distance relationship with a woman for about 2 years and my plan was to relocate.

She participates in counseling monthly and for her it's very beneficial. I happen to think that she has become dependent on this therapy and as a result it has become a never-ending mental nourishment in her mind.

Well, she presented a really strange ultimatum. She stated that if I don't participate in counseling with her she didn't think that this relationship would work. I was obviously confused as I thought that the relationship was going well. She stated that the counseling was not for any relationship problem that we have but the purpose of the counseling is for me to understand her better. I called her back and told her I was not interested in counseling and let the chips fall where they may.

My thought concerning this interaction are many but I viewed her ultimatum as an attempt at manipulation and once you give into that behavior it's never a good thing. Please give me your thoughts on this event. Is my thinking flawed in some way?
