Suicidal boyfriend

I've been planning on leaving my very rude boyfriend, however, I heard him say that he's still suicidal and has been thinking about it again recently. I know I've made some posts venting about his attitude, that aside, I once loved him so I still care a bit and don't want to add to his suicidal thoughts. He bought me a teddy to say thank you for being there for him, which is sweet. It doesn't change anything but now I'm depressed because leaving is what I'm working towards and this situation makes it more difficult.

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

@Moneyonmymind I was thinking that too but I don't know if he's that type of person

@UltimateDemiGoddess neither do I so it’s all speculative. However if he is being honest and not getting the help he needs then that is a graver concern.

@Moneyonmymind he is getting the help he needs but is very arrogant. For example this is an example of his attitude

he told the mental health officer this "I'm not like everyone else you've dealt with, my condition will be different" then tells me "they can't help me I'm too intelligent they won't manipulate my thoughts out of being suicidal".

@UltimateDemiGoddess you’re a better person than me; I wouldn’t have the patience to put up with someone like that

@Moneyonmymind not necessarily true. You're a stronger person and that isn't something you'd have to put up with and you wouldn't.
