You need to just be honest with the dude and say look this is over bro you need some help I care about you as a person I want to see you get better if you have to Baker Act into the crisis line but don't let him drag you down to the bottom

As a person who has been on the other side I can say the way he feels is not your responsibility. He's an adult with his own feelings and well yes he might hurt you can't fix him. Only one that can fix anyone is the person themselves. I understand the guilt, but again his feelings are not your responsibility that means he has to take responsibility for his life.

Does he have any close friends he trusts?

If so, I'd have a talk with them to make sure they'll look for warning signs or be there even more for him, then do a clean breakup in the nicest way possible.

He is not your responsibility, but as a fellow death thoughts person myself, I know it's not gonna be easy either way.

Just make sure he won't feel abandoned, and that his friends are willing to atep it up for a while.

My husband used to go that when i was younger (threaten suicide if i left) 😬 it’s hard to tell if someone is serious or not about their threats or even if they are how much responsibility one should take for them 😬 technically it’s his own choice regardless of if you are there or not .. i guess the best thing is just give him an earful about everything make him take on some responsibility instead of just self pity especially if he is habitually inconsiderate of you and your own wellbeing 😳 its nice to have someone who cares tho tho some dudes are like spoiled cranky overgrown babies 🙄 tho 😒

When the time comes to separate, let him know you'll still be there for him as a friend but that it's possible that two people just aren't right for each other.
I hope this doesn't go badly for you. But if it's what you have to do, best not to drag it out too long.

He knows exactly what he's doing 🫩

I met a guy, it was ultra romantic at first, very compatible, but then I realized he was batshit in ways that scared me. I left him and he did kill himself. I wrestled a bit with blaming myself, but I also knew damn well he was not okay to begin with. I might have been the last straw, but I wasn't going to put my son and myself through his nightmare to save him. It's nature. Save yourself.

Throw the drowning man a life safer or go down with him.

He knows what he's doing. It's classic. My last ex would put me on a rollercoaster. Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Up and down. Make me crazy and insecure. So I always came back to him. He isn't better or worse, he's messing with your head thinking about himself and what he wants. It's sick.

Does he only bring it up when you talk about leaving him?

It's probably best that you just stay for the time being.

I would just leave him. If he ends his life that is on him not on u

Report to police

Does he know you're planning to leave?

You are being manipulated

He knows as long as he tells you that, you will stay.

Take him to a strip bar,make sure he has plenty of single dollar bills,,,, then sneak out the back!

He will keep using that to POSSIBLY trick you to stay, js

That is a massive red flag, he's manipulating you into staying, vocalizers never actually do it, run the other way as fast and as far as you can.
