Frustration builds until one heated argument pushes her to give an ultimatum—commit or it's over. After a short time, her partner presents her with a sparkling engagement ring.

Marriages initiated with a shut-up ring often don’t last long because the partner who presents it lacks genuine commitment. “I have three friends who gave ultimatums to their boyfriends,” says a Reddit user, “Two of the marriages lasted slightly over 18 months and the third one lasted about 7 months. Marriage takes work and you just can’t go into it, basically being held hostage.”1.
