What would you do if a guy threatened to hurt himself when you broke up with him saying that he doesn't think he can go on without you and starts talking in ways that lead toward him wanting to end his life?

I personally wouldnt listen to it...Its called emotional blackmail, abuse in simple terms

run...don't walk...run really really fast!! and tell him to get some help...u can't help him..it's just a control method that ppl try to use to make u feel bad for not wanting to settle for less than u deserve!!

we talked about this in my Gen Psych class.

the worst thing you can do is give in to it.

WALK AWAY AND KEEP ON GOING!!!!!!

Give him the number to the suicide hotline, call a trusted family member or friend of his, and get out quick.

Stylish is right, emotional blackmail. Not necessary. People hurt, but using others for blame all sorts of wrong.

That's a control mechenisim to trap you. Get out of that realtionship IMMEDIATELY. If you have any concerns call the police and have them check up on him so that he doesn't really hurt himself. Don't stay with him and DON'T feel like it's your fault or anything, just run away and don't look back.

depends, do want ne thing to do with him, like keep him as a friend or do u just want him out of ur life?

staying with him means more of the same, and then worse.

we were in a relationship for over a year and things were going really good until an incident that happened recently... without going into details he did something I never thought he could do to someone. I know it was a mistake, we were drunk and go into a fight. I told him I needed space to think about things and the first two days he kept saying he just "couldn't do it anymore" and asked me to take good care of his dog...I would still like to be friends with him but now I am thinking that is not such a good idea

I agree with Stylish-abuse. Plain and simple.

Clearly this guy needs professional help. If you stay with him, even as friends it's not going to help, he will only get worse unless he gets the help he needs.

Gently suggest to him that he get professional help.

Until then, stay away from him.

The funny thing about this whole thing is he despises girls who stay with guys who are like that... go figure

why dont you give him your new #, tell him its
702-386-5397 trust me!!

I think he trying to lay a guilt trip on you.Most characters donttalk about it they just go and do it.You don't want that character for a friend. Tell him to hit the bricks.

my ex fiance said the same thing and was sleeping with a supposed friend of mine 12 hours later,, so damn em if they say that to me

he's just f*ing w/your emotions to get you to take him back...i handed a loaded gun to my ex when he started that sh*t and begged him to blow his head off...unfortunately he did not...good luck to you

Maybe you should remind him that you are leaving because you need a man that can be his own person, without you having to hold his hand. Make him realize he doesn;t need you for him to go on living. I agree, it's a bad deal and you should get out of that relationship ASAP

shes right

You should stay with him forever, what an awsome life that would be! Yeah right, hah!

Weird to hear about a guy doing that though. I knew a couple goth chicks (back when they were actually called goths and not emo) who tried that. I told them I didn't care, which obviously proves I'm not worth it! None of them killed themselves, just for the record.

The sick part is, if you stay with them, thinking your being a nice person, all you're doing is feeding the insanity and making it worse. If you keep that in mind, it's a clean easy break.
