My ex was the most manipulative, emotionally abusive person I've ever met.


She was also physically abusive when her bipolarity hit.

She's craving attention. She won't do it. Just call her bluff, and tell her to frick right off.



Can't you go to jail for encouraging it if she actually does kill herself.

Life is too short to not be happy, especially in a relationship. You are going to have to move on, things won’t get better. What she does after, is not on you, it’s her decision. I can tell you from experience, people who threaten suicide aren’t the ones who typically go through with it.

You must have been dating my ex GF.


When I broke it off she said she was going to kill herself. I told her I don't care what she does, that I am going to sleep just fine at night regardless.

She has tried to reach out back to me several times over the years since. I have never responded to her.

It really is as simple as this




Don't coddle her, it isn't your responsibility.

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


The answer is simple. Tell her that you have tried to help her but her issues are beyond your abilities. Let her know she needs professional help, and medication. Tell her that you will help to the best of your ability but that she will have to step up and seek the help required.

You cannot fix broken, and if she is unwilling to take the necessary steps, you have to wash your hands, and move on.

Tell the police. Let them deal with her and drop her off at the looney bin.

Don’t listen to this fricking idiot. People have gotten in trouble with the law for doing this kind of thing.

Loan her a bullet. But only one-for her. Give her two and she might take you with her.

Ask her if she has any plans to do it and call 911 if she says yes. She can explain her situation to EMS and the police.

This is manipulation 101. You are in an emotionally abusive relationship and you need to get out NOW! I stuck with a girl after she started pulling that shite on me and tried to “fix” her and that was a terrible idea. You cannot “fix” her. She can only fix herself. If you actually did manage to stick with her long enough for her to “fix” herself, she won’t want you when all is said and done because she’ll associate you with her previous bad state of mind and deep down blame you for it. She also won’t respect you because you caved to her emotional blackmail.

Her talk of suicide is only a cry for attention and a tactic used to control you and win arguments. Break up with her ASAP, block her number, block her from social media, and never look back. Rip that bandaid off no matter how hard it hurts. Trust me, you’re saving yourself (and her) in the long-run.

As a young man, I would have done everything I could to help her

As a got older, I would have cheated on her as an excuse to blow the relationship up

Now I would just exit as politely as possibly at the first hint of that kind of mess

I have a problem with your thread title. It takes courage to truly admit your faults, whatever they are. I think it makes you more of a man rather than looking weak. It’s easy to walk around lying to yourself and saying nothing’s wrong or it’s ________’s fault.

As far as the situation, most of us guys have been in a relationship where we weighed the pussy vs how crazy she was. You live and learn, buddy. Don’t fall into her bullshite and go back. You only think it’s crazy now...
