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

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

I dont see why you don't start acting like a total bitch then he wouldn't love you anymore and leave you so you dont have to be scared

Hey if you like him enough to date him and know him well enough you should be fine if he's out now he should be more mentally stable. But hey if he goes nuts change your name and move to Mexico/Canada I can help with that.

If he ever starts to be abusive, at all, run and never look back. People don't change, and the one thing i can't stand to see is a woman who actually believes her husband/bf whatever when he hits her and says he is sorry and he won't do it again. The first time he even so much as grabs you by the arm a little too hard, don't even look in the rear view mirror, you are probably saving your life.

You're right, except for one thing: People do change. Change is the only constant, as my mama always says. OP, you should trust him a little more. Lots of people out there have mental issues, and they can be controlled. He may have been going through a very rough time in his life when he did that. If he's not in that institution anymore, then he was probably deemed safe for mainstream society. If you have any concerns, bring them up to him. His reaction could be all the indicator you need. Sounds to me like you have nothing to worry about, and like 271 said, run at the sight of warning signs.

Hmm that happened to me. My boyfriend of a year also recently revealed his fantasies about killing random strangers, his hallucinations, and disturbing fetishes.

16: seeing how FML's are usually bad things, i would hope that it is her last FML and nothing worse happens! :)

I advise you to try not to break up with him anytime soon, who knows what he will do then.... Yikes
