| Jul 13, 2015 at 10:16 | comment | added | Matthias Braun | True, "forced" doesn't really suggest violence. But I think it evokes a sense of helplessness, which is not what I'm trying to say. I prefer the tone of the phrase that Edwin Ashworth has suggested: my decision was made for me | |
| Jul 13, 2015 at 9:45 | comment | added | Silverfish | I like "forced" and don't think it suggests violence in this context. Hobson's choice describes the situation very clearly though isn't the wording you want (I'd suggest you rephrase); if you want to avoid "forced" then my hands were tied in this decision is also a useful phrase. | |

| Jul 13, 2015 at 9:11 | comment | added | Matthias Braun | @deadrat: Thanks! "forced" is alright but sounds a bit too, well, violent and negative. | |
