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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

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

Time to find a creepy guy on a bus, give him your current boyfriend's name and address and upgrade to a new boyfriend!

The time that he's spent in the mental institute is longer than they've been together. For all she knows his violent tendencies could just be temporarily dormant.

Oh dear. There's only one question you should ask yourself, if he had never told you, would it have changed anything? He's still the same person he was before he told you. Remember that.

I am sorry, but this boyfriend of yours may be the sweetest man on earth… But, always a but… you’ve been together for three years and he didn’t tell you before that he had passed four years of his life in a mental institution… Makes me wonder what other things he could have hide from you? The fact that he was in a mental institution is not the issues here, depending on how efficient your mental institution is where you live, but the lies is.

soo he waited to tell her whats the big deal that's not something you tell just anyone you have to really trust them...also just because he waited to tell her doesn't mean he is hiding anything else soo give him a break you don't know the story behind it and you don't know him

Don't break up he will just stalk you and try to kill you! The solution...... Hire a hitman!

That's extremely creepy. You should try to find out more circumstances. Was his mom an abuser or was it unprovoked? And to everyone who's saying his release means he's better - actually that's not necessarily true. They aren't that stringent when releasing you. Ever heard of Ed Kemper? Just because he's out doesn't necessarily mean he won't do it again if - say - you try to leave him, or that he's really changed. Also, the fact that he wasn't upfront with you about something this big, at least after a few months, is a red flag - signals likely dishonesty in the future. OP FYL
