Instead of screening a girl out early on (she definitely failed on many levels, and exhibited all the signs of a slut), I let her keep coming around. Months in she wanted to be serious. Long story short, I kept around around for her attractiveness.
She kept asking for a ring and committment and all sorts of things. I balked, delayed, and all sorts of tactics to avoid this. Regardless, I discovered that she is still keeping in touch with a number of her ex boyfriends on facebook.
Now, I usually try to keep an aloof alpha attitude about all things that normal men would be crazy jealous over. However, there is a cognitive dissonance in my head about a girl who wants to get a ring, and then has the gall to keep on with that sort of behavior. I let her know that I don't deal with that sort of thing. She supposedly blocked the people. Months later, I discover that they are unblocked or never were. I don't really keep tabs on this sort of thing, so I got peeved.
In a way, I delivered an ultimatum. This is something I don't like to do, as it has been my experience that women do this a lot. Ultimatums are almost always delivered from a position of weakness. My delivery was essentially, get fucked. I told her that she's being sketch and that she should never call me again (I even said please). These things I said with calmness. However, she tried to change frame and call me jealous and whatnot. I laughed and said extremely jealous and then repeated myself that we should never speak again.
I suppose my main question is, assuming my delivery that I don't tolerate this kind of bull was smooth and unemotional, does this still constitute an ultimatum, and was it beta to do so? In my head, I wasn't so worried about being betrayed as I was being disrespected. I felt shame only because I let this girl treat me in a manner not fit for a significant other. I felt shame because I could have easily screened her but didn't. It felt embarrassing, mostly.
What do you guys think? (Hoping WIA chimes in) What could I have improved (besides better screening early on, and not getting into LTRs)?
