AsKmE135 answered Wednesday December 15 2004, 9:37 pm: You shouldn't let another person's problems interfere with your own life. If you're not happy, then just break up with him! But make sure you let him know it is for the best for BOTH OF YOU because it wouldn't be fair for either one of you if you guys were going out when the feelings weren't mutual. Maybe you could even try to find another girl for him. [ AsKmE135's advice column | Ask AsKmE135 A Question ]

AND REMEMBER BE AS NICE AS POSSIBLE...

Then slwoly tlk to him about how you feel and how you worry about him. Take everything smoothly and slowly, everything will be alright. You should always be happy with you self, hopw i helped....luv always roxy<33 [ roxy_gurl2164's advice column | Ask roxy_gurl2164 A Question ]
K3587 answered Wednesday December 15 2004, 8:29 pm: Heh, I agree with those who said to go through with the break up. Anyone who is stupid enough to commit suicide after a break-up, especially in their teenage years...well, let's just say it's hard for me to shed a tear over it. Do you really think that kind of mental instability could produce a productive member of society? Granted, not everyone who has any kind of mental problem won't succeed, but it's the extreme cases such as this that make me hang my head in shame for the human race.
Most likely, however, he is using that as an excuse to keep you from breaking up. 999,999 times out of 1,000,000 that is the case. He thinks that he can control you, and keep you with him, with empty threats. Prove him wrong. Show him you know the game he is playing, and that you can play it better.

XC_sweetie answered Wednesday December 15 2004, 8:02 pm: oh my, i dont know anything about you but i felt exactly how you do now about 3 months ago. I had been dating a guy for about 3 weeks and he took a vacation to a foreign country. We lost our closeness and i was no longer interested. I broke things off and he talked a lot about suicide. I told him that because i didnt want to be with him didnt mean i didnt care for him, and we kept talking occasionally so he knew i didnt dislike him as a person, just as a boyfriend. When he came home we continued our friendship and i let him know that he did nothing wrong, but the relationship was just not right for me. So talk to him about your reasons for the relationship split and be sure to tell him you're still there for him no matter if you're a couple or not.

You dont want to put someone in that possession! but if you think he was serious i would tell someone about that cuz that can be a serious cry for help. But i think it was 75% of the people that talk about it dont actually do it and the people that dont say anything about it and dont show signs do do it. So maybe this one is serious but you judge on your own! but dont keep leadin him on though cuz that can be mean [ bAhAmAmA0250's advice column | Ask bAhAmAmA0250 A Question ]
