another deep thoughts

Boys r us wrote: You become romantically involved but after 6 months you realize that the relationship isn't working out and you need to end it. If you were certain that the person would commit suicide if you leave, but are also certian that you will not ever be happy in the relationship, what would you do?

moped replied: Oh geez...................if it was 100% suicide I guess I would stay with him and hope that he decides he doesn't want to be with me -that is a HARD one!!!!

I have no clue really

What would you do

toady_buckshot_noodle replied: HMMMM....Set him up with a counselor and RUN!!!????? I don't know.

PrairieMom replied:


I guess it woule matter what was wrong with the relationship. Is he abusive? I would deffinately go, if it was something minor I might stay.

TANNER'S MOM replied: Well, I would honestly be the biggest Witch in the whole world..and make his life miserable and want to dump me...lolol

Man that is hard.. I guess it would also depend if I had REAL LOVE for him..lol

Boys r us replied: Well, I guess my answer will show why this is a deep question! LOL

I care deeply about other people's feelings..but I'm not about to sacrafice my life for someone who I've been involved with for 6 mnths and don't even like!

I would try to get help for intervention..but I would never even think twice about staying with him. I would however, stay in the relationship maybe a month or two longer if I thought that would make a difference in his stability!

Great minds think alike I was going to say I would start being crazy,rude,whatever it took and hope he dumped me.

kit_kats_mom replied: I'd leave. I'd hate to be on my deathbead saying "welp, I hung around with so-and-so for 40 years and kept him from killing himself but I was never happy". That's stupid. I think that aside from your children, you really do need to look out for number one in most cases & not try to be responsible for the decisions that other people make.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Leave and call the police/suicide hotline.

kimberley replied: i would turn to his family and friends to get him the help he needs, then bail when it is safe.

JAYMESMOM replied: I would get him the help he needed and explain to him that I couldn't stay. I would still check in to make sure he was okay but would not waste my life because I thought he might do something irrational.

coasterqueen replied: what's the movie with Sarah Jessica Parker where she tries to make Matthew McConnaughy (sp?) hate her? I'd try that I guess!

On a serious note, I'm not really sure. That one requires too much thought.

My2Beauties replied: I was going to say what Mel said, I would be a complete and total butthole to him and make his life miserable so he would want to leave me!

mckayleesmom replied: Well....being as I was once faced with the threat of someone committing suicide if I left them....I will tell you what I did...I told him "do what you have to", started my car and left... And that relationship was 4 years and an engagement too long.

Saying that you are going to committ suicide is a method of control...wether its followed through or not to me. To me its not because of the pain they are suffering, but the control they can't get back...its them grasping at straws and I refuse to play that game.


BTW.....he is still alive. He went from suicide to stalking and harrassing me pretty well.

If you're a meanie I guess I am too

When I first told my ex husband that I wanted a divorce, he threatened to commit suicide. I hung around for about another month and I couldn't take it anymore. About a week after I left him he DID try to kill himself. He was in the hospital for 2 weeks, and his parents blammed me for his stupidity.
You have to do what is right for you. You only get to live once, so there is no point in staying in a loveless relationship and being miserable for the rest of your life.

ilovemybaby replied: I think I would make sure that he was safe first by ringing a family member or a suicide hotline and then dump him. It's not something I'd want to play with... you never know if someone means it or not and I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if he really did kill himself. JMO

Ginger replied: I think I would have to leave. I would get him the help he needs or make sure he had some support system before I did though.

gr33n3y3z replied: Hmm I would leave and never think twice
Nothing worse then someone playing mind games with me.
Call me rude or crude but no one would ever have a hold on me like that enough to play games like that and for me to stay in a relationship.

AshleyRose replied: Call all of his family members and tell them about his condition and then call a counselor or psych ward depending on the severity of the situation and type of person he was and then haul butt!! I wouldn't want to be forced to be unhappy.

My3LilMonkeys replied: Find him the help he needs and get my butt outta there.
