i hate guys who threaten suicide just to prevent their significant other from breaking up with them. honestly. that's why i didn't go out with this one guy i was into. they're just looking for attention and a concrete way of holding a girlfriend; because they obviously don't have anything else to offer in order to hold a healthy relationship. idiots.
Emotional blackmailers are very immature. I'll bet he blames every little thing that goes wrong in the relationship on you. And he's got an excuse for every time he misbehaves (as in you drove him to do it). And I bet if you ever have a need or a legitimate request in the relationship he acts like he's doing you a huge favor. So, what's the going hourly rate for babysitting these days?
I wish I would have thought of this when my ex-boyfriend would do that. Except he went so far as to cut himself. Even though it was just him trying to be manipulative. So I sent him to the mental hospital instead.
Does he yell a lot and hang up the phone during an agrument? Especially when you have a good point? Do the two of you talk constantly about his interests, but not yours? Does he even know what your interests are? Does he say "I really don't want to go that party (or restaurant or any other thing you suggest) but I'll do it for you? Emotional blackmailers are classic cases. They don't grow up or change. They just keep finding the people who give in to them. Save yourself! Run!
i agree this is a humorous way to deal with his emotional blackmail (nothing better than blackmailing a blackmailer, i always say), but the bigger question is why are you still with this guy? it'd be funny if you weren't in fact enabling his childish behavior by staying with him even though this is basically emotional abuse. get a life and stop taking responsibility for his.
from someone who survived a suicide attempt, if they're threatening to do it constantly, they're fine. they're whiny little brats looking for attention. so mock them all you want. there's one common denominator with every suicide - guilt. he obviously doesn't feel any. so plan a fake memorial service where you all complain about him
I actually had a best friend that went through with this threat while he was on the phone arguing with his girlfriend. Really sad that guys feel insecure enough to even threaten suicide, even worse when they act on it.
i read this at work and started laughing. loudly. i work in a call center. guy on the phone bitching about his bill... not impressed. i however, lovvveee it.
Why are so many projecting their own issues onto this post? None of this emotional blackmail bullshit is in any way mentioned in the original, so why do you feel the need to launch into it? Go deal with the shit in your own lives before you start giving advice, because clearly there is a lot fucked up in them.
