Ex threading to End his life what do I do

[Littleteacup1]

Ex broke up with me and I agreed it was for the best im finally so happy and free of his constant controlling behaviour. He on the other hand regrets his decision to make it worse we live together and both can’t afford to go anywhere else until end of August. He’s taken it badly keeps crying and begging for me back for another chance started doing house work and offering me lifts and dinnner first time in 3 years. Ive said he’s had his chance 3 times and im done. I’ve gone away for the night and he text me telling me he wants to end his life I threatened to call ambulance as I was miles away but he wanted to say goodbye so would wait till tomorrow. The thing is he’s threatened this last time we broke up he’s had so many times but he’s never gone through with it and he won’t go so anyone for his mental health. What do I do I can’t help but think he’s doing it to make me get back with him but obviously I have to think he may actually be doing it for real who do I call tomorrow and what do I do he’s quit his job today too I’m so worried who can I speak to

Tell him to crack on with it. Don’t make a mess in the house that you will be living in when fucks off. Blatant attempt at manipulation.
Text book in fact.

I'm sorry this has happened. Ultimately it is his own decision if he wants to end his life and you should not feel any guilt or responsibility. I would do as PP suggested and inform his parents/siblings that you are worried about him, and leave it to them to deal with.

Then move on with your new life!

My ex used to threaten to kill himself when we were in the process of divorcing.. One night he called me from a train station saying he had taken tablets. I called the police. They picked him up and put him in a cell overnight (he was being abusive to the police). He had taken 4 paracetamol and 12 amoxicillin. Had diarrhoea for a few days.
After we divorced he used to threaten to kill me instead.
All part of being nasty, manipulative , abusive f*wit.

This was 20 years ago. His DW is going through the same thing.

Urgh emotional blackmail at it's finest. Call his family and let them deal with it. Hopefully the embarrassment of them knowing what he's up to will put an end to this final bit of control he has over you.

Nasty prick. Ignore him OP.

I second calling the police, and his family.
Don't engage with this emotional control.

You need to do two things.

1. Call his family. Tell them to take him in as he's threatening suicide and quit his job.
2. Move out ASAP, even if it means sleeping on the floor of a friend's until the end of August. Have you got living arrangements sorted for after this? You can surely see living together under the same roof isn't helping.

Incidently what were the reasons he gave for splitting up with you in the first place?

You are still allowing him to control you even now.

He is using his mental health problems to control you, the best thing to do is distance yourself completely and do not engage, refer straight to the emergency services

Just call the police, he is not your problem. My ex did it frequently I informed the police.
He carried on with this behaviour with later partners and he was eventually successful. I'm not sad he is dead but glad I got the help for him at the time. It was his decision but it is a terrible thing for his girlfriend, I feel sorry for her and have told her clearly it was his doing

i'd block and ignore, i wouldn't call anyone to be honest. he's too far up his own arse to do it. my exh trotted out the same rubbish years ago, then dramatically took an 'overdose' of paracetamol - the last 8 in the packet, i kicked his arse to the kerb the same day. went on to live another 8 years before booze got him.

As others have said, call the police so they can do a welfare check on him. This is text book controlling behaviour and as you say, he’s got form for that. Please don’t let him suck you back in.

I’ve told his 2 best mates from the pub don’t have contacts for any of his mates so had to go and tell them didn’t want to waste police time. Gave them my house key they said they would go speak to him stupid idiot text him to say so he’s put a key in the door he’s not my issue now that they know it’s up to him now
