Possibly Suicidal Boyfriend

I’ve been dating this guy for 2 years. I care about him and we have a better relationship than most people; however, I know we’re not right for each other in a romantic sense. I’m afraid of breaking up with him though. Before we started dating he was easily angered and suicidal. He saw a counselor for a while, but he never seemed hopeful until we started dating. Once at the beginning of our relationship he had a night he was considering suicide again, but his best friend and I helped him see that there was a lot to live for. He’s been wonderful ever since and has seemed very happy. I’m afraid that if I breakup with him it will ruin all his progress. I don’t want anything bad to happen to him. I love him as a friend, but I don’t know how he’ll react to that.

Answer #3

wow, that poor bastard… he sounds just like me… the love of my life left me 2 1/2 weeks ago, AND got a new boyfriend less than a week later… she’s already gone almost as far as we had, and we were together for over 5 months… she said it was because it wasnt her first time doing any of the stuff… sry thats me, not your boyfriend…

I don’t think there is anything you can do… he seems to rely upon you for happiness…

If you do break up with him, and you get a new boyfriend, tell him… dont let him find out on his own… dont hold hands, with him dont kiss him, dont do anything a normal couple would do if there’s a chance he (the ex) could see you… a few days ago would have been mine and my ex’s 6 month, and I found out a letter that she wrote him about how good of a kisser he was. when I saw him later that day, the only thing that stopped me from beating the hell out of him was my bus, and when it let me off at my house, I ran more than a mile to try to catch up and find him… I didnt though… he would (if he is how you said) probably try the same thing…

I suggest that you dont dump him, but if you have to, dont say things like you still really care for him because that hurts… dont do anything that could hurt him any more than he already would be hurting… him hearing things like will make him still love you, and feel good for a little while, but he’s going to eant to hear that every day… even if you have a new boyfriend… and he’s going to want you to treat him like you were still going out… I dont think you’d be willing to do stuff like that tho

It’s so hard to choose because of the suicide issue. I’m unsure of what he’ll do, but I’ve been trapped in this relationship for so long. I’m already stretched so thin from all the classes I take and clubs I’m in. I only have maybe 2 hours a week to myself and he still doesn’t think we spend enough time together. Everytime I go home from spending time with him I’m stressed out because we don’t see eye to eye. I can understand his points, but I share those views. I’m one of those people who say “every cloud has a silver lining.” He’s more of a “life’s a game that no can win” type. Well, maybe not that extreme, but you get the picture of how our views clash. I’ve tried to change for him if things haven’t straightened out after this long, then it’s not meant to be.
