Is threatening suicide a surefire signal to gtfo of a relationship?

Drunken thoughts again about the past.. I ain't in this situation anymore... Just wanted to know... ┬┴┬┴┤•ᴥ •ʔ/
Did they literally say they were going to kill themselves if you left?

Or was it that they were expressing depression and suicidal thoughts. There is a huge difference.

My ex repeatedly said he would kill himself if I left his abusive ass. It was a lie. He couldn't care less. But I've also know people who expressed thoughts of depression and wanting to die because they felt alone and unwanted.

But even the wording doesn't necessarily indicate what they ate really saying. A person trying to manipulate you by holding you emotionally hostage saying they would kill themselves if you left may be someone manipulating you. Or it could just be someone really depressed who knows that right then, whatever good uppit being into their life is the only thing keeping them from tumbling into the abyss.

Heck I've been there (didn't tell my partner) but there was a point where I was so depressed I did not know how I would manage without him because of other situations in my life that were depressing me. I got meds to get me through it and I'm better now. He has no idea he saved my life just by being there for me.

@CleverFunnyNameGoesHere Well........ I'm sure you're being rhetorical but for the sake of clarity, boi = boy = cool person = friend.... Pimp pretty much means the same honestly BUT HEY!! I was never good with labels... Weewoo... Shh... ┬┴┬┴┤•ᴥ •ʔ/
@bearinthehalfwayhouse Thanks. I have limited experience with slang.

@CleverFunnyNameGoesHere Ey it's cool, dawg. I just use those terms to make up for the lack of conversational skill I have BUT THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT is besides the point... Look, a piece of candy. ᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒ, ominous.. ┬┴┬┴┤•ᴥ •ʔ/🍫
um you seriously have to ask this question? of course it's a GTFO moment. Quickly. Staying is unhealthy.

Well, if it's manipulative or repetitive and exhausting and beyond your capabilities to deal with I would say so

But dumping someone just because they're suicidal seems harsh

Is it the first date or one's wife? 😀

@SW-User unless a sociopath or narcissist... they love threatening suicide for attention or causing a trauma response in you without the sociopath or narcissist suffering actual distress or depression. Especially when they see they don't phase you any more with their every day BS... they will take to drastic measures to get some sort of reaction out of you without actually wanting to off themselves. It is all a major kick to them, to deceive you, to traumatize you, to fuck with your mind. They live for it.
Its a sign something's wrong...

@bearinthehalfwayhouse he didnt keep my hair to cherish me but to try and threaten or punish me. That is the difference

@DianaGyana Yeah, I figured.. I'm guessing it was early too? ┬┴┬┴┤•ᴥ •ʔ/ God I kinda wish I got into another relationship with a manipulative ass... I'D PUT THEM IN THE DIRT!! ....... Uh.... Metaphorically speaking, of course.. ┬┴┬┴┤•ᴥ•ʔ
Stereotypically, yes.
No but it might be a sure fire way to get you locked up, the joint wants YOUR money. Don't tell them why their "services" are so dammed necessary.
