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

Turn the fear thing on him. Go find yourself the meanest man there is and give him a taste of honey. Then have new BF go track and pound the living crap out of psyco boy every day for two weeks. Random times and places, like at home, work and anywhere he may go. Have him follow the guy and let him know that he is being followed. Have big man tell little psycho boy to leave his girl friend alone. He will. Many a big tough ass hole would enjoy this mission.

hmmm 3 years and you didn't notice any mental signs or psychotic tendencies??? well, hopefully he's changed...4 years is a long time...maybe he recovered? and if he plans on being together forever, doesn't sound like he'll kill you.

I'm sure it has taken a lot for him to tell you that.. He trusts you and believes you won't judge him, like you have. Every person makes mistakes, big and small and most people learn from them. Hopefully he has learnt from his? Otherwise when he finds out you've FML'd his life..... things could get awkward!

Just because he went to to a mental house does not mean he is crazy. He probably was going through a lot. Mental hospitals are not as bad as tv shows them. My friend was in one for a year for the same thing and she is perfectly normal. Plus he got out which means he is on medications that help him. Just love him how he is.

I have bi polar, and severe depression, and a few other fun issues. I am grateful to have my forever guy . He is my rock. The people saying they let him out have a point. They wouldn't if he was a risk. Be honest about your fears , though. He deserves the truth too.

Perhaps it's just me but in a twisted way, could this not just be him trying to split up with her? If he has given no previous indication of psychotic nor obsessive behaviour. It's a bit contrived telling her he spent time for attempted murder and 'btw we'll be together forever'.

If your really scared, just do your best to get him to dump you. Eat a ton, don't wear makeup or do your hair, cry all the time, just basically be in a gross PMS stage 24/7. And if all that doesn't work, chop all your hair off, start dressing like Ellen Degeneres, and get a friend that he doesn't know to be your lesbo lover. Have fun.
