    Why do I have to name alternatives for you? I also find manipulative that the alternatives you seek from me MUST have definitely spoken against Zionist entity, when just not participating would be enough.

    I think stating your boundaries about who you want to be with is not forcing. Would be forcing if his gf was dependable on him or there was emotional manipulation involved…

      What I mean is that isn’t it hard to prove whether a company actually is supporting Israel unless they’ve been outright about being against it? I’m not trying to test you; I’m literally curious about what some of these are.

      Also, is what he’s doing not emotional manipulation? “Ultimatum” or not, the exact wording doesn’t matter; if he really cares about continuing the relationship, He should be actively helping her find alternatives to the products that she would normally buy from Amazon and even link them to her to make it easy to move. He’s putting the work on her; that’s lazy and rude and controlling when he doesn’t even want to help her help the switch. Does that make sense?
