Says he will kill himself if we breakup?!?

I have been having problems with my boyfriend for awhile now. We have been dating for 2 years, but I am really not happy in the relationship anymore. He has gotten rude, he will yell at me and even say he will kill himself if we break up every time I bring it up. He asked me to marry him and I said NO then saying I wanted to breakup. I didn't hear from him for awhile, but I found out from a family memeber that he has slit his wrists. He will yell at me (when I'm working on a novel), that I am an idiot. He will yell at me for being bi. And I've had enough, but I don't want him harming himself, I know its for attention. But cutting is not ok! Please help.... ps. Its been getting worse everyday.

    I'm a guy too, and my friend did the same thing, he was totally caught up on this girl like crazy, and they broke up and he did the whole wrist thing, but if he starts doing that, tell his parents, and yes it's mostly for attention and probably to make you feel bad, and if you both do break up and he ends up killing himself, I know this is gonna sound harsh but, don't feel bad or anything, because he would've done it on his own free will, it's not your problem at that point.

    As u starts to say u want to break up with ur boyfriend the consequence u observe is worst he cut his had u that he will die. before u break up u must think when u met for first time and had chat and be with each other have fun he exist in ur life. Now u feel easy to breakup that u can taken in easily but ur boyfriend could not take in that easily. So, instead of being mad and yell at him. U must have a serious talk and keep the things why u really wann break up wid him. make him clear about the cause why u r breakup with him. but don't ruin his life by ignoring him. better make him understand.

    First the reason of breakup is must important for what reason u try to break up with him? is he realy bad or not so caring and protective?

    If you know that he is doing this for attention, then tell him he's being stupid because he is the one who will have wounds on this risks... also tell your parents and they could help you out.

    Also, if he loves you, then tell him hurting himself would hut you too because you care about him... now if you really don't then, yes, save "everyone" the agony and end it before it gets too serious (marriage, kids, etc, a ring, pregnancy, sickness). If you really don't love him then break up with him, and you have to do this for youself because stringing someone along, MIGHT be the right thing at first, in order for him to stop doing what he's doing, but that's only delaying the inevitable....

    If you don't love him anymore then save both of you the trouble and stop the further shinanigans...

    this is serious as it has something to do with his health or a person's health but you don't have to do anything. You are not responsible for his health and his body. That's only him ultimately....

    Just tell him that if you care about him as a friend, then you'll be there as a friend BUT ONLY AS A FRIEND and nothing more... otherwise , you'll just confuse him and it would be bad for you if you have to be in a relationship that you aren't happy in. Both have to be happy. Both have to want it, and if only one person wants it, it's not a relationship. He or who ever is the dumpee (one who gets dumped) has to respect that.

    You have to walk away, turn your back to him, and not be emotionally blackmailed. The most you can do is inform his family, and let them know you are finished with him. If he makes any new threats at harming himself, you would be wise to obtain a restraining order in the event he threatens you,directly

    or otherwise, to you or thru others. Law enforcement will be made aware of his mental status, and be aware he could be a threat to you. You cannot allow yourself to be held hostage to his immaturity and self detriment.

    You need to break up with him. Let him fix or slit his own ****. It's sad, but its not your problem. It is not your responsibility to handle his issues. Get away from him. What needs to be cut is all communication with this guy.

    Thats emotional Abuse You should talk too his parents if you really care about him and tell them your worried about him .....You should Never Be with Someone if You dont Want Too....tell Your Parents also they will tell you the right thing to do...
