I had a bf and we broke up. he lives in canada and I live in the us. he has a new gf and she lives in north Carolina. he basically played us both at the same time but she's talking about killing herself and I tried my best to talk her out of it. I even said that she could keep my ex bf and I'll try and keep them together even though I want him back, just so she wouldn't do anything stupid. can i be held responsible for her if she does kill herself? I kept trying to talk her out of it over and over but she wasn't convinced. I don't want to be involven anymore. I don't want the police to try and find me or anything if she goes through with it. can anything bad happen to me? I've never met her before.

* Offering to put your feelings on hold so that someone else feels good about themself is not a good idea. Especially, when it involves relationships.
* You can not be help responsible for her if she kills herself because that's ultimately something she chooses to do to herself.
* If you don't want to be involved anymore, you need to stop trying to reason with her. Otherwise, this could turn into a long and drawn out situation. ESPECIALLY, since you've never met her.
Don't sacrifice your feelings and well-being for someone you've never met. If she is using suicide as a cry for attention, you'll find yourself stuck in a loop that is difficult to get out of.

How serious do you think she is? Because if you think she is serious, you need to notify the police in her town. I know that feels like betraying her, but better she feels you ratted her out than she be dead. There's a myth that people who talk about suicide, but it's not true. People who talk about it do it.
