An Ultimatum From My Wife!

Updated on November 15, 2009

The Ultimatum...

Okay fellow Internet marketers, here's the deal. My wife has given me a ultimatum. Either give up my Facebook account or we are through. What do you think? I just opened it 2 weeks ago. I only opened it because I finally realized the power of this website. I realized that it would give me the extra exposure that I would need to for more people to see the websites that i am promoting. She says that she thinks that its kind of funny how I was dead-set against websites like Facebook and Myspace, and now "I want the extra exposure..."

In all reality, I do want the extra exposure. We all want that, but do we have to give up what we are doing on the internet to satisfy our significant other? I told my wife that the real reason that she is so dead-set against me having a Facebook account is because she doesn't trust me. I also told her that the most that I do on Facebook is provide link to whatever Squidoo lense that I have just finished. (Anyone of you out there who have used Squidoo knows that after you have published your lense there is a link at the top of the page for sharing it with Facebook and Twitter.) Am I wrong for wanting the extra exposure or should i just close the account?

I have given this woman everything that I have. I love her but i think that she is wrong and she refuses to budge. I think that it is important to note that in the past when we had arguments that I was the one who gave in to her demands to keep the peace. But I don't think that I should do that now. In the past, MOST of the time I'll admit that i was wrong. But this time I know I'm right.

Ultimatum ( cont...)

I know I'm right because if this Internet marketing thing starts to get big, ( which I know it will...) my wife will be the number one recipient of the spoils. I'll admit that I wasn't going to tell my wife about the Facebook account because I knew that she would react like this, but I went against my better judgement and here we are. Why do some women do this? Why do some women go out of their way to stop you from achieving your dream?

I told her that I'm not on Facebook to try and meet new people! I told her that I don't want anyone but her! How many times do I have to profess my love for this woman? Why is she so insecure? I asked her why she doesn't trust me and she didn't respond. So I know that's it. She doesn't trust me. What do you think? Do you think that I should give in and delete the Facebook account?

I have been doing this I.M thing for about 2 years and am just now starting to see some positive results. I really don't have time to do it but every chance that I get to do it I jump on the Internet. I have received a couple of checks from Clickbank so I know that this stuff is for real. It just takes some time, perseverance and patience. To all of you new guys out there that are not satisfied with your progress in I.M and are thinking about giving up, hang in there and keep at it, it'll come through for you. Just keep at it.
