Tell her family you are done and to get her help, ghost all of them. It’s not your problem anymore.

Similar experience, the best thing to do is ignore her. You'll probably still be getting text messages from her two years from now.

I dated women like this.

Block her and never acknowledge her again.

She's trying to mentally hold you hostage, using your conscience for her attention needs.

Never speak to her again and it goes away quicker, otherwise she will continue to play and manipulate you. It's just a game to her.

Go live your life.

Get a life insurance policy on her before you break up

He needs one for himself too, because that likely comes later.

Have some fun with it dude.

Go find a cop squatting outside the local watering hole this fine weekend, him trying to catch some 0.081 driver and all.

Show him the texts and send him off to pick her up on a safety check/mental evaluation 72 hours in chemical or physical restraints. That's what some psych intern is itching for.

Let her 'splain herseff to the parish employees from now on 'stead of you.

The only reason they're attacking you is they know the responsibility of her daily care will likely now fall on them and they're probably just as tired as you are of dealing with the shitstorm she brings to their lives.

Run, don't walk away. Change your phone number so they can't get in touch with you, and if they somehow do get your new number, don't answer.

Bipolar chicks are a fun ride, esp when they are on the up cycle, they usually perform in bed like no other, as to overcome all the other deficits in a relationship. Just don’t stay long, cause the down swing will be brutal, and marriage is eventual hell( absolute hell). Just run at this point, don’t look back, if you can. Don’t let the suicidal ideation trap you in her mental games and make you more codependent than you already are, you are a fixit type, so just stop, this isn’t fixable and it will take you down first....,

Now that’s fricked up.

I’d contact her family and tell them shes suicidal. Tell them that you’ve done all that you can and that you’re moving on - that you hope they will support/help her, but that you’re blocking all of her contacts/social media accounts and that’s she's no longer your problem.

If her family is going to be dicks about it, then that’s on them, not you. She is their responsibility now - you need to make that clear.

Don’t do this. This will really frick with your head forever if she does it.

Send a thoughtful message saying you can no longer handle her and it’s best for both of you.

Then the most important thing you can do- block her on everything and never see her again. Put your mind at ease and don’t put your dick in crazy.

Threats like this are extremely toxic. They introduce a poison in the relationship that is almost impossible to purge. Because it makes you responsible for your partner’s emotions.

It’s a noose around your neck. But instead of pulling the lever and letting the end come, it’s used to torture you.

And it works, For a while. But eventually it loses it’s effect, and just becomes something you roll your eyes at.



Nothing you can do can help them. Because until they fix the flaws in themselves they’ll hold you hostage.

And what it really is is an indicator that you should have ended it long ago. There’s never going to be a good time when you live on the gallows.

Dude don’t ever look back. She sounds destructive as hell. Anyone who threatens you with suicide is not someone you want to be around. If you ever gave her keys to your place, change the locks.

Question for the board.

What if she’a threatened it once because she doesn’t see how she can live without you, but you caught her and stopped it and she swore she’d never hurt herself And the people that love her like that.

When it gets bad again...what to do?

This is how it was for the last few years of my first marriage. Nobody understands what it’s like until they’re in that position. I tried everything I could, but he wouldn’t get help. He wasn’t that level of vindictive (never tried intentionally hurting me by saying I’ll regret it when he kills himself), but it was still manipulative and codependent.

The part that is hard for people to understand is just how guilty you feel for leaving, since you’ve trained yourself to feel responsible for this person. It’s awful. Read some articles/books about codependency, and spend some time reestablishing healthy boundaries in your life before you date again. Good luck.

She made the threat. Act as if she is serious and contact the authorities. You’ve done the responsible thing, and it’s her problem now.

At some point, you get off the crazy train. Those kinds of threats destroy intimacy and love. Each time she plays that card, you’ll care a little less and won’t put as much stock in it. The first time my ex told me he wanted to die, it broke my fricking heart. Subsequent times, after refusing my pleas and attempts for him to get help, it lost its effectiveness. It broke something in me.
