What if your bf/gf is emotionally unstable and s/he wanted to break up with you but you don't want to?

This thought occurs people who are anxious in love very often. Not because they actually want to leave their partners, but because being in love with someone who doesn't fulfill their attachement needs hurts them and they're afraid of being abandoned so they find that it's easier to just end the whole thing.

The appropriate thing to do, in case both are interested in saving the relationship, is to get to know each other's needs and hopefully know what each of you expect from the relationship.

First of all, they'd obviously be emotionally unstable if they'd want to break up with me. So I'd shackle them up in the basement.

WTF kind of serial killer question is this anyway, if someone *wants* to break up with you, they do. It's not like they need your permission, or even to tell you, unfortunately. If they do, then you can try to talk them out of it, but that's about it for what you can reasonably do.

Potentially, you could stay their friend and try to support them through their hard, but that's another question or two, don't think it works so well. "Oh you want to break up, just know I'll always be here for you" will just encourage them, be hell for you if you have any feelings, and have all the drawbacks of being a psycho stalker. Or you could threaten to kill yourself if they break up with you, which seems popular, but you're supposed to be the stable one.

most of them have been. if they want to go. i tell them how i feel about it, but i'm not begging a damn soul to stay where they don't want to be. and i'd wish them the best.

If you really care about them, you let them break up. It happens.

I'd cry and beg but then let go.

Then I really don’t love that person. If you truly love somebody, you make sacrifices. No matter how hard. Especially if the person is unstable and need time to themselves. It’s quite selfish trying to fix a one sided relationship.

I wouldn't let him break up. I'd just love him and help him as much as I can.

Only know you love them when you let them go...🎶🎶🎤

Redrum them...maybe?

Just say no
