Awks

Today, my girlfriend's mom pulled me aside and started telling me about how her daughter was extremely depressed and suicidal before she met me, and how happy her family is because of me. I was planning on breaking up with her within the next week. FML

Wow...That's a mind **** for sure. The fact that you thought about it tells me you are a good person. You have to do what's best for you though. You can keep her as a friend and support her.

You can't be responsible for someone else's happiness. Don't be in the relationship if you don't want to. Sucks, but that's life.

You shouldn't have to be depended on for someones complete happiness. Know that, you should get her some help then tell her nicely you'd like to brake up. You have your happiness to worry about, shouldn't have to do something you realy don't want to live with for someone that just needs a little help in life. This is an fml.. Sorry to hear=(

Yes, one sound advice. Discuss it with mum first! And, whilst that is among your future plans, perhaps don't do it just "within that week". Try to make her distance herself from you. Also, asking a professional about how to deal with it will do no harm.

you wanted to break up with her before for your own reasons, unless those reasons were something like "she's just TOO happy!"(which i seriously doubt), you should still do it. you need yourself far more than you need her. don't let it bother you, she might get "sad" again for a while and try to guilt you but i doubt she'll really do anything too drastic to herself. even if she does, don't let it bother you. don't bother rethinking shit or trying to work it out. she needs to get herself in order before she can have a partener. it's not healthy for her to depend so much on you, you're human, anything could happen to you and she'll have to stand on her own anyway. might as well give her a little push in the right direction. life isnt always kind.

I know how you feel dude! I broke up with my boyfriend for a year, he got all depressed and did bad stuff. Finally we got back together and his mum, while we were in the car were like 'I'm so glad you guys got back together! He was talking about suicide and I was tempted to send him to his dads (who lives in a different state)" So when I didn't want to be with him anymore, I was like "oh... great." But were together... again (LOL - three years on and off) so I guess its alright. As for you, Totally not your fault! x

She may be serious, dramatic, or unstable. But, you can't stay with someone because they threaten to harm themselves. Though, the proactive and moral thing to do would be to inform close friends or family members so someone else can keep an eye on the situation. Nobody wants to be part of the story where the family didn't know there were suicidal threats until after someone proved they meant it!

break up with her if it's what you really want... and don't bother with the friends bull shit, it only makes things worse
