What is going on with people in relationships encounraging their partners to kill themselves?

So,
Another young woman (Korean) was just charged with sending her boyfriend here in the US(both foreign students at Boston) over 45K text messages in two months. Most of these messages were berating him and tens of thousands encouraged him to die. Of course she has run back home to South Korea to avoid jail but we will see. These cases are becoming more common. Why? Do two needy sick people just find each other? Why is this happening more often, cell phones?
And should we jail people for text harassment when the other party is willing?

It's okay. She only wants him to pretend kill himself.

Are they actual killing themself?

Losers. Lol

@SteelHands He did kill himself. And he's not the first to do so under similar circumstances in recent months. The question is valid.

@NorthernBear Know how many numbers I had since I turned single after putting up with 35 years of married life?

4. And 3 addresses and I'm about to move again. I don't take guff I don't deserve.

Why did he?

@SteelHands You dont sound clinically depressed. You have age and experience to teach you that troubles do pass. This young guy was alone in this country and in love with a sadistic puppy. She tracked him on his phone to his location and continued to berate him until he jumped.

@REMsleep So what? Depression has its up side. Nobody disappoints and if you wait long enough you get to piss privately on your enemies grave.
