Awks

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

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.

Well that's a new one. Just think it over, and if you aren't sure what to do, try asking a counselor or something.

I'm sorry :( that happened to me with an ex-boyfriend of mine; he was a real dick, and when I was planning to break up with him he dropped that bomb on me. I dumped him two weeks later anyway because it wasn't a healthy relationship as he was showing the usual patterns of becoming abusive. I can assure you now that he's still alive and kicking two years later. Just think it over carefully, and try a counselor if you need it as someone suggested. Best of luck, OP, that's no fun :( but it'll work out.

I hate it when people do this. You aren't responsible for her actions. This is ******* emotional blackmail. If you don't want to be in a relationship with her, then don't. Don't let bullshit like that stop you. But, there's no reason you can't be gentle about it.

No one is blackmailing anyone... The girlfriend had been open with her family (although apparently not her boyfriend) about her problems. Her mum (not knowing about the planned break up) expressed her gratitude at what he's done for his girlfriend. The girlfriend didn't even tell him. There's no blackmail.

Well, if I were you, I wouldn't break up with her. If she was suicidal before you started dating her, don't break up with her. If you did, you would partly be responsible for the suicide if she commits it.

I actually feel DUMBER for having read this comment. That's the absolute most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. How, in any way, shape or form, is he even remotely responsible for her suicide if he leaves her? If he was beating her and raping her and she killed herself, I could understand. But if she was "depressed" before all this and he left her, why in the world should he be accountable for her death? OP, you should NEVER sacrifice your happiness for that of another's. You may feel like you're helping, but think- If she ever finds out (if you choose to stay with her) that you only stayed out of guilt and you never actually loved her, don't you think that'll only exacerbate things?
