If you have a significant other, what is the right thing to do?
As far as relationships go, committing suicide is probably the worst thing you can do. Dumping the other person, whether in an ugly argument or just by packing up and disappearing, is a lot nicer than letting them find your messy corpse and having to deal with the cleanup, funeral, explanations and shame of it all.
I know when my time comes, I’ll end my life mercilessly without much thought. So I should probably prepare. I’ve come to the conclusion that, for me, encouraging someone to love me when I have no interest in being a part of this world, is very hypocritical and selfish. Dumping her on her ass would be the right thing to do.

If someone loves you, you can not turn their feeling off just like that, dumping would not help it, I assume..
That’s the ****ing thing about love, to love or being loved !!!
I know you’re right. Well I’ve told her I plan to kill myself. It always leads to a fight so we don’t talk about it much, but she knows. Whether she believes me or not, it’s her choice to stick around. I guess that’s basically the reason why lots of us are in relationships even though we may kill ourselves any day.
Um… If the partner doesn’t want to find their significant other’s messy corpse, then they shouldn’t have done what they did. They deserved it.
Hmm. I’ve never been suicidal when in a relationship. I don’t understand why anyone would want to, in that situation. (Logically, I know there are reasons, sure… but emotionally I can’t comprehend it, I guess I should clarify) Then again, I don’t stay in relationships I don’t want to be in, either. Maybe that makes a difference. …plus I suck at relationships and fail at life so what do I know?
If my guy dumped me because he wanted to be “free” to commit suicide, it would be just as bad as if he didn’t, if not worse. Either way I would wonder why I wasn’t enough to keep him on the planet and it would be devastating. She already knows you’re suicidal so you can’t just sneak away now, or start acting like an ass by cheating on her, etc. to get her to leave you first. She knows something’s up.
If I had a girlfriend then I wouldn’t dump her.
you nailed it on the head
