He's suicidal, and im sooooo depressed lately. I dont know if i can tell him, but the guilt is consuming me.

Replies A6stringpoet Posted at 5:00 pm on Jan. 8, 2009 of course I was scared, but that actually was a non issue in and of itself, since I could have no reasonable bearing on whether of not she would kill herself. It is a sick ultimatum if you ask me. I felt bad for her, but people have to just try to cope. There really is no reason to kill yourself, especially relationships. hithere Posted at 2:04 pm on Jan. 8, 2009 but weren't you scared that she might actually do it? it could happen...if you care about someone and sometimes you really like the time you spend with them, it has to be hard to take the chance whether or not it's your fault is quite a secondary issue A6stringpoet Posted at 1:26 pm on Jan. 8, 2009 Quote: from hithere at 1:16 pm on Jan. 8, 2009 Quote: from A6stringpoet at 12:59 pm on Jan. 8, 2009 Honestly, if you cheated on your boyfriend and he's also suicidal, I suggest getting out of your current relationship.

I had an ex girlfriend who threatened to kill herself if I left. I told her that I hoped that she wouldn't do it but that I had made up my mind. You can not mandate affection. If they killed themselves, it would not be the other person's fault. That is an extremely unfair burden, even if the person was unfaithful. (Though I wasn't unfaithful in that other relationship) Soccerchik107 Posted at 1:17 pm on Jan. 8, 2009 First off, if he was suicidal, I wouldn't be with him in the first place.   Second, if you want to maintain a relationship with him, talk with him and explain to him how much you care about him, and then break it to him gently. Also, tell him you don't want to end the relationship and you realize it was a mistake. hithere Posted at 1:16 pm on Jan. 8, 2009 Quote: from A6stringpoet at 12:59 pm on Jan. 8, 2009 Honestly, if you cheated on your boyfriend and he's also suicidal, I suggest getting out of your current relationship.

How selfish.
