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
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

1- You've been with him for 3 years, nothing bad has happened. I think you're being a little paranoid. 2- He was released for a reason, he got better. 3- He was clearly abused, you only go to a psychiatric hospital like that if there was trauma involved that needed fixing. His mom abused him, he was reacting somewhat normally under the abuse, and he had suffered emotional damage. It became fixed, and I doubt he ever considered killing anybody but his mom in the FIRST PLACE. 4- I DON'T GET WHY HIM SAYING "WE'LL BE TOGETHER FOREVER" IS A TURN OFF, OR SCARY/OBSESSIVE! People that truly love each other, usually want to be together forever. They JUST DONT ADMIT IT. At the time, if you really ARE lucky enough to be in a relationship where you BOTH love each other (as this one), its NOT UNCOMMON for one or both of the people to want to be in it forever. He didn't say "we WILL be in this forever, NO MATTER WHAT." He didnt say "your opinion on this doesnt matter to me, my mind is made up." He didnt say "ill kill you if youll leave" or "I'll go crazy again if you leave me". STOP PUTTING WORDS INTO HIS MOUTH. All he said was A GOOD THING! It's crazy, our cultures women are now a bunch of wh*res who think that "wanting to be together forever" is creepy and wrong and clingy. WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY?! DOES IT SAY TO GET MARRIED AND THEN DIVORCE A YEAR LATER?! DOES IT SAY TO HAVE LUSTFUL, MEANINGLESS SEX SO YOU CAN HAVE BRIEF PLEASURE, WHILE RISKING LIFE THREATENING STD'S OR PREGNANCY WITH THE WRONG PERSON? NO! IT SAYS "A LIFELONG COVENANT IN MARRIAGE"!! ========================= bottom line, him trying to KILL HIS MOM was WRONG. however, he was MENTALLY TRAUMATIZED, and now he is BETTER. You should give him a chance. 5- Supposing he WAS unstable. YTF would you dump him?! If its danger your worried about, your in A HUNDRED TIMES more danger if you DUMP HIM than if you keep you both happy by staying with him.

K you have already been with him 3 years, and in those 3 years he never displayed any signs of going off the deep end I assume? Thus dont over react, and just keep an eye out for weird behavior. :)

I would imagine that he is still seeing a therapist? He at least has a diagnosis of what he was suffering from. I would recommend that you both go to a Psychologist to discuss his mental illness, the events surrounding the attack, and his subsequent treatment and recovery. I can understand your concern, but it may or may not be disproportionate to the reality of the situation. Right now you need knowledge, assurance, and the advice of someone who is a qualified professional in the area of mental illness. Remember, mental illness is much more common than most people think and that the majority of the Mentally Ill never harm anyone. Get the facts before you make any major decisions.

Although killing someone is certainly not normal, it doesn't mean that he is abnormal. He didn't succeed in the first place (maybe because he couldn't, mabye because he wouldn't). But I think a whole lot of people have thought about killing someone, fantasized about it, wanted it.. Who knows what kind of person his mother is/was?
