Should I break up with my boyfriend to try to make it easier for him?

[ScorpiusDragon]

I've been with my boyfriend for 2 years. He loves me very much and he has tried everything to try to help me. If I killed myself, I know he'd be devastated. He's the only reason I haven't ended this joke of an existence. I love him, but I can't do this anymore.
A part of me wishes he'd fall out of love with me. It would be easier.

I broke things off a few days ago, my boyfriend and I had been together a bit over a year and love each other very much. As much as part of me wants to try to piece things back together, I know ultimately I'm gearing up to end my life and I'll be gone soon. This is the part that's most lonely, but then I think, and remember, I've been here before. Here meaning alone, and with each day that passes I am more and more ready. I miss him dearly and I also know I'm exhausted to hang on much longer. So, these are my end stages. Winding down. Going out solo.

No one should live only for others, shouldn't they? I'm rooted to life by my daughter and, of course, there's no break up possible.

Same but I lost my love, he found another chick

It really depends. children are greatly effected by the death of a parent. it's in the child's best interest if you continue to live as long as you can. but it is understandable that if it's too unbearable for you to continue living then nobody should be forced to continue to live in that condition.

It's sad to think you could love someone so much, but not tell them how you feel, to not try to get help. They would likely give their lives for you, but you'd rather throw it away? I'm not saying to live solely for someone else, but can you not try harder for someone you love so dearly? If not, then I'm doubting how real it was.

I don't know about that. I do not know. If your lifes already over devoting the rest to some worthy cause seems the only reason to continue.

I broke up with my (suicidal) gf because I felt disingenuous convincing her that life was worth living (even though I believed it was for her). How could I tell someone to keep fighting when I didn't feel that way myself? Then I found out a close family member of mine was sick and that meant I couldn't ctb yet. I drove past her place and saw her passionately embracing the guy who I had been told was "just a friend". Now he's moved in with her, and it looks very much like it was going on before we broke up. Hahaha. Still don't regret the decision, or the reasons. It's better to affect the least amount of people with such a serious act. Just be sure that you intend to and are able to follow through on your plans. Adding heartbreak to the present situation really fucking sucks.

I'm sure that's true but at least in my case it most likely would've been beneficial in the long run if my mother off'd herself when I was a baby like she would've if she didn't get on medication, as she says. It probably would've been less traumatic overall and I'd be a lot less fucked up.
