Jeez Martini. That's a fricked up thing to say. Not a post I would have expected from you.
I know you don't care about the opinion of some stranger on message board, but that's something I would have expected from Owlie, not you.

quote:yessir. went through it about two years ago, actually came here to get it all off of my chest. the girl i dated was really similar to the one you’re describing with several different phobias and mental issues i was unaware of at the start. difference is, my ex actually did “attempt” to kill herself (although if you know anything about cutting, you know which is “real” and which is for attention). it wore me out. mentally, emotionally and even physically, i was completely drained.
Anybody ever experienced this? Advice?
it took a few months before i was able to feel comfortable enough to “talk,” if that makes sense. i flirted and fooled around but never got to a point where i was serious about a relationship until about 8 months later— even then (and now) i’m not 100% comfortable with opening myself completely up like that again, because of the hell she put me through.
quote:i’m glad you were able to build up the courage to finally let go. i figure you’ve been wanting it for a while but it takes a leap to finally cut ties. i thought i was strong enough to handle whatever shite a female could throw at me, but damn if i didn’t find out soon enough i’m not as tough as i thought i was. don’t let her mind games and the “you’ll miss me when i’m six feet under” fool you.
Threatening suicide all the time. I like to think I’m a mentally strong dude but I underestimated the mind frick that would follow.
I left her the other day, and now she’s telling me “I hope you feel good when I kill myself”
stay strong and remember that you’re doing what is best for YOU. if you ever need to talk to someone who’s been through similar or just need to get things off your chest, my line is always open.

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.
That's some deep and critical advice. 100% accurate.

This is the appropriate response.

I wouldn't think about it for a minute. You can't be responsible for someone like that. They are responsible for their choices. Frick anyone that uses that to manipulate another.
There are times you would act on that statement, but she isn't one of them.

Change your number and your locks.

Every time she threatens suicide call the police but don’t do anything yourself. If she’s just doing it for attention she’ll realize you’re not responding and get tired of being taken to the hospital, or alternatively get involuntarily committed. If she’s actually suicidal then she’ll have professional help. Either way it’s the best thing you can do for both yourself and her.
