Today, I caught my girlfriend cheating on me. Now she's threatening to kill herself if I don't forgive her. FML

I will never understand how people can take suicide so lightly. She sounds like an awful person all around. You're better off OP.

I had the same exact thing happen to me and now i'm months away from being engaged.

that sounds abusive. if you just with your partner because they are threatening to kill themselves then it sounds like they might be being abusive to you and they also need help because that is not healthy behaviour. It is incredibly unfair on you and I would urge you to get out of that relationship, and maybe suggest a helpline to them, or warn someone close to them, but ultimately, you need to look after yourself too and this is not okay.

what you should tell her is that it's a problem she needs to work through obviously with therapy so you can't change your decission and bend to a suicidal maniacs woes

OP, do not forgive her at all. What she is doing is called emotional blackmail which is against the law. Call the cops and tell them that she is suicidal and they will come and take her away to be put on suicide watch at the hospital.

If she's threatening to do it as an ultimatum, I can almost guarantee you she won't actually do it. People don't say they're going to commit suicide if they're actually going to.

Tell her parents she's suicidal and run for your life, OP.

Let her you can't be charged and you're not liable or guilty. Call her bluff 9/10 times it's bull crap.

That wouldn't be your fault. She is dumb Enough to take her own life... Don't be forced to do something you don't want to do

Break up with her, and maybe tell her parents what she said that way they can keep an eye on her so she can't do anything crazy

You can't live a miserable life just because she says she's going to kill herself. Chances are she won't, and God forbid she tries/does, she obviously had issues to begin with that had nothing to do with you. Best of luck, OP.
