Today, my boyfriend of 3 years felt comfortable enough with me to disclose that he had previously spent 4 years in a mental institute because he tried to kill his mother. He also told me we will be together forever. I'm scared. FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, my boyfriend told me he's been having doubts, but he still wants to stay with me. I asked him why he had been so nervous about us and he replied, "I don't know, just thinking about a future with you makes me feel nauseous". We've been together over 2 years now. FML
Today, in the same sentence, my boyfriend told me that he wanted to "spend the rest of his life with me," and "I want to break up with you because I can't face your family." FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were together for 10 months when he told me I’m the only person he’s ever been with who’s made him feel safe and able to be vulnerable and open up for the first time… and made him realise he has trauma to work through. He then dumped me on the spot so he could work through it. FML
Today, I went through my boyfriend’s phone. He'd told his brothers, mom, and mutual friends that I was at a psych ward, after I went crazy. We have been back together for four months now after that situation, so no wonder I got the vibe they hate me. Why lie about something so stupid? FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he wants to marry me and be the father of my children. Five minutes later, he told me he wants to experience death. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years accidentally admitted to me that he settled for me because he doesn't think he can do any better. FML
Today, I admitted to my boyfriend of three years that I have been suffering from depression for a while now. He took it as a good time to dump me. FML
Today, my boyfriend of four years, who has never been anything but loving and supportive, told me after I made a joke that there has been “a change” in how he deals with people, that he has been “purging,” and that I could be next because he “has needs too.” FML
Today, I told my boyfriend I’m pregnant. He broke down crying because his mother is going to be so mad at him. He’s in his 30’s and we've lived together for over 4 years, it’s not like it was a drunken mistake, it just happened naturally. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years told his friend that he decided a long time ago that he would never be faithful to a woman. I was sitting next to him. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Don't worry, if he wants to be together forever he's probably not planning on killing you any time soon

Think of it this way. Since you've been together so long, there hasn't been any huge problems in your relationship. So just dont break up because you think he's insane. And he was let out, so he isnt as insane as he was at least.

Did he tell you what the situation was? Four years is more than enough for MOST people to confront and overcome whatever the issue was for them being there. You've been together for THREE YEARS. If you haven't had any red flags before now, what the heck is the problem? Shame on you for being so close minded that you can't accept that everyone comes from different backgrounds. It's not like that would have been an easy thing for him to tell someone, even if he erroneously thought that they would still love and accept him. I hope he dumps you.

I bet you'd think differently if you were in OP's situation.

I've BEEN in a similar situation. And I know many other people that have as well.

Remember: every sinner has a future, and every saint has a past. Just be open with him and, most of all, be careful. If he truly has changed, just forget his past. I wish you all the best!

Where did you get this from? My girlfriend is NOTHING like my mother. (apart from being a woman of course)

People go to institutions to get better; therefore, as long as he hasn't treated you wrong, you should be fine. However, if you see signs that he may be falling back into that state of mind, you may want to consider asking him to go to therapy: not only for his safety, but for yours too.

This is not going to get better. You should be afraid. That means your intuition works. Find him another girl friend or move.
