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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that my girlfriend of one week is suicidal and crazy about me. She showed me that she'd carved her old boyfriend's name in her arm, and she threatened suicide if I ever left her. FML
Today, I was diagnosed with depression. My girlfriend's idea of consoling me was to break up with me because she can't date a "psycho". FML
Today, I told to my girlfriend of 5 years that I'm depressed about having no friends, no job and a difficult family life. I told her that she's the one constant that keeps me going. She decided this was a good time to break up with me to "find" herself, since I was being so mopey. FML
Today, my mom had my girlfriend and me over. Out of the blue, she pulled out my grandmother's wedding ring and gave it to me saying I can now propose. My girlfriend started screaming and said yes. I have been seeing someone else for 3 months and was going to break up with my girlfriend tomorrow. FML
Today, my girlfriend's best friend was dumped, and was absolutely depressed. My girlfriend thought she'd show her sympathy by breaking up with me so they "could be single together." FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because she heard me say "love you" on the phone. I was talking to my mom. FML
Today, my girlfriend told me she wanted get to know my mom, so they went off and had a chat. After an hour, I noticed my girlfriend was gone and my mom was waiting for me. Apparently I've been dumped through my mother. FML
Today, my girlfriend told me that her parents have a bet going on when we are going to break up. FML
Today, my girlfriend of 3 weeks gave me an ultimatum: marry her, or she kills herself. FML
Today, my girlfriend sent her new boyfriend over to my place to break up with me for her. 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.

Do not break up with her!!! At my school, someone broke up with a girl like and a week later she committed suicide. Its your choice on whether you want to live with someones death on your conscious for the rest of your life. Just be careful how you handle it, but seriously FYL!!

If she is stupid enough to kill herself over a guy, let her. You dont have to be with her if you dont want to be.

You're not responsible for her actions. I've seen people threaten suicide if their boyfriend or girlfriend breaks up with them, it's manipulative and a form of emotional blackmail #33. He shouldn't be forced to stay with and be responsible for someone who can't take care of themselves. It is not his fault if she's so unstable she does something unfortunate, only someone who doesn't like taking personal responsibility for their own actions would think so. There's a difference between being supportive and staying in an unhealthy relationship in which the other person's happiness is completely reliant upon the condition of having a partner. That's not love, that's obsession.

"suicidal just for attention"? i dont know if you've ever felt that way, but its sure not for attention. ive been that way, and it was NOT for attention. i wouldnt tell anyone, and its really something hard to get over so get your foot out of your mouth and keep it shut =)

I think you missed the *claim* part. from personal experience, the people who say they're depressed and suicidal are usually doing it for attention. the ones who really are depressed and or suicidal tend to not talk about it.

yeah and the mom was the one who told him right? not the gf? which kinda just makes the situation worseee if the dude didn't know that she was suicidal or depressed before....

WTF 33! I was in a relationship with a suicidal girl who kept cheating on me but I couldn't dump her cause I cared and I was scared that she will kill herself. That is just emotional abuse and no one should have to put up with it. Its their problem, not yours.

Rethink it? Why? If she is stupid enough to kill herself over a man, let her. We don't need anymore of her populating our world. He shouldn't force himself to be with her just because she is like that. Nobody should ever feel forced to stay with someone for any reason. To the OP, man up and don't be retarded. I hate when people say they are "planning" on breaking up. WHY WAIT?!

I think you shouldn't b so harsh about it. try putting yourself in her shoes. don't be so selfish. you can't help if someone has depression, just as much as you can't help if you had ADHD or add or something like that. you can't control it. so don't b so harsh on people. that's how people get hurt.

If it isn't working, stringing her along and pretending to love her will only hurt her more in the end

Just do it.

Haha that reminded me of nike. Just do it. I agree though. Op should do it. Maybe she realizes life is worth living now and her happiness isn't based on him.

So what's your plan, #42? He should just stay with this girl BECAUSE she's crazy? You're a stupid shit, you know that? OP should definitely just do it. All this incident is is evidence that he shouldn't wait until next week

#114, While #42 Could Have Written A Plan, How Is He A Stupid Shit For Actually Caring For The Girl's Feelings? Now I Would Be Stuck Too, I Don't Want To Be Responsible For Suicide, But I Don't Want To Be With Someone I Don't Like!

That's like saying "easy, stay with a girl you don't like for the rest of your life. Be married, have kids, and be miserable" then HE will be the one that's depressed and suicidal... so what now?

This x1000. Do not stay in this relationship because you feel guilty for the girl. It isn't good for either of you. You cannot be held responsible for this girl's happiness. If anything, she needs some serious help, not a relationship. Be there for her as a friend, and make sure she has plenty of support, but do not let yourself be guilted into staying in an unhappy relationship.

If you still wanna break up with her you should really rethink your motives (why you want to break up with her in the first place) and explain it delicately to her instead of doing it fast via text or phone call. Or, maybe you can just give it a couple of weeks and see how it goes? Hope it all works out for you and her.

My brother's ex was clinically depressed. It sucks, but you just have to let her know that this isn't working for you anymore. Let her down as gently as possible, and try to make sure she has a support group. Be there as a friend, if possible, though it will probably take some time before you two can just be friends. Let her heal from the breakup, but offer to be there to help her with any other problems she may have.
