Dp and I agreed to separate about 5 weeks ago - made plans tilde dd 14 and ds11 and all the rest of the family.

He agreed to move out and rent somewhere

Recently he confided that he is feeling very anxious and depressed and is thinking about suicide
I spied on his iPad and his history showed "how to make a Will" and Samaritans.
He is crying and saying he is is worried about being lonely (this is not like him at all- I fact he often doesn't understand anxiety of depression and thinks people should snap out of it)

Since the separation we have got on really week and him and dd had spoken and wondered if I would stay with him and
He asked me on Sunday if I would consider it

I told him his feelings of depression are clouding his judgement and that the relationship is not right ( no sexual contact for over a year etc) and that if he was feeling well he would see we had made the right decision.

Anyway he is now feeling low again and I am scared he will do something to him self , but don't think that's a reason to stay with him either. I have told him not to rush into moving out and also to get some help from a friend or his GP.

Please anyone any advice?

I feel like I have the weight on my shoulders Sad

There is a free U.K. suicide prevention app called Stay Alive which may be good to download. It’s got a lot of useful information on there Including about what to do in a crisis and ways of managing suicidal thoughts.
